Corvette Ship Class Idea - Fletcher - 09-11-2009

Good day folks, I wish to suggest a version or a new ship class in the mod.

Corvettes.

These ships are chunkier and more armoured version of bombers, but with lower agility and a decent profile for enemies to hit.

However in their favour, they can equip up to two gunboat turrets and class 5 turrets, maybe one or two class 10 gun slots. It depends on design.

This ship class would be a bridge between the strike craft and capital ships. It would never hit gunship/boat size, but is bigger than a bomber.

Think of it as a cheap capital replacement.

Feedback?

So , basically , superbombers ? Seems good to me , as long as they are big as a barn just as slow.

I forgot to add that they can only pick between one torpedo slot, its either a CD or a torpedo. Killing its ability to be powerful and kill the incoming fire.

a very nice idea Fletscher. I would like to have one of these ships. For the size I would go for a dromedary or clydyssale. About 2 gunboat turrets and 4 class 5 turrets sounds good for me. They shouldnt have a to big cargo hold so they cant use all cap armors.

sort of super bargest with just 1 torp/cd slot,

what ammount of power suply you think it needs then, gb powercore?

How much would it cost?

I roleplay my Grizzly as a "corvette." I love that thing, but it could use some more firepower, and a larger hold.

See: Super Heavy Fighter.

They're not even SNAC practice, they're so rediculously easy to kill.

Fighter cargo holds are on the cards in my mind, these are not capital craft, therefore shouldn't mount such upgrades.

As for power I'm thinking a supercharged bomber or something. Not a GB powercore, an in between core would be nice.

These ships can fire a supernova, but are ill suited to jousting due to their girth. In theory.
