The corvette is the smallest and fastest of the offensive capital ships. Its low cost, speed and well rounded design make it a great entry level vessel, and well suited for long range missions or when tactical situations can not be predicted.
Offense
Corvettes' offensive capabilities sit between the
destroyer and the
battleship. In sufficient numbers, they will easily bring down a
battleship, but are vulnerable to
destroyers' massive main guns.
Defense
Corvettes aren't as well armored as the other offensive capital ships, but their price reflects that. They bring enough
battery mounts to defend against smaller bomber wings.
