Corvette

The Corvette is a very fast medium warship with an incredibly imbalanced shield to hull ratio.
== Description ==
Incorporating new, experimental lightweight materials, the Lionheart Corvette combines the speed and agility of a fighter with the armament of a heavy warship. Its weak hull is more than compensated for by its advanced shielding matrix.
== Location ==
The Corvette can be purchased at the following ports:
* Asgard, Naos 
* Midgard, Aludra 
* Valhalla, Epsilon Leonis

== Performance Information ==
The Corvette is a very capable human warship. Due to its combination of decent outfit space and its high number of bunks, it can function very well as a player ship for quite a bit of the early Free Worlds campaign. The Corvette's glaring weakness is its fragile hull, noted in the shipyard description itself, and as such the player should consider investing in better shields at the first opportunity.
Because of the low mass and drag of their lightweight hulls, Corvettes are fast and agile even with their default Ion Engines equipped. A mixture of shield and engine improvements can give a Corvette greatly enhanced survivability, even against powerful enemy ships or small fleets. Effectively, the Corvette can outmaneuver the enemy until the Corvette's shields recharge, and then dive back into battle.
Because of their speed, Pirate Corvettes are a nuisance. They tend to use swarm tactics, play "keep away," and bombard slower vessels with a barrage of Sidewinder Missiles. Players who prefer slower, heavier, vessels will want to invest in a strong set of engines, a Heavy Anti-Missile Turret, or a powerful afterburner in order to minimize the threat posed by enemy Corvettes.
