Comet class corvette

The Comet-class corvettes were a class of corvettes built for the Astrovan Navy. They are commonly used by the Astrovan Navy to hunt pirate vessels and escort merchant ships. They were designed by the user Girthychocolate, and it can hold a crew of up to 30, many of which specialize in boarding enemy ships.
== Design ==
The Comet-class corvettes have a large brig below deck meant to hold prisoners, and an extensive cargo hold to transport stolen goods to merchant vessels. Although they are not very effective at combating large warships, the corvettes are designed to be more effective at chasing down pirates and destroying them. The ships are armed with 2 large frontal cannons, 6 side cannons, and 2 chase cannons on the stern. The ships are also very low to the water; while this makes it difficult to shoot the ship at point-blank range, it also means that the crew will have to climb onto enemy ships during an engagement, which leaves them vulnerable to enemy attacks. For this reason, the sails can be tilted so that the crew can climb on the rigging and land on the pirate ship's deck. Ironically, this means that the corvettes could also work well as a pirate ship or as a merchant ship destroyer. 
== Civilian model ==
On September 2, 2021, the player Shenboy, a citizen of Alokhrad, asked permission to build a floating shop in Astrova. He asked Girthychocolate for a design, something that was large enough to accommodate his shop, and something small enough to fit in the harbour. Girthy sent him the plans for the Comet-class corvette. Shenboy made a couple modifications, such as removing the back sail and the armament to make room for the shop; after making these modifications, he built the ship in the Astrovan harbour. As of September 20, 2021, this is the only Comet-class corvette in existence.
