Ignorance-Class Star Corvette

14.2k Griffon1  4.2 years ago

The Ignorance-Class Star Corvette is a light spacecraft that was widely used across the Western Reaches. The rugged design and decent performance made it suitable for the rough terrain and weather there. Being subsonic, many fighters could outrun it.
However, this spacecraft is a very capable missile platform. It is armed with a total of 30 missiles, in tubes pointing either downward or upward. This allows it to attack enemies form any angle.
This aircraft features a VTOL takeoff, as is standard for the time. In case missiles are not enough to do the job, it is armed with dual starship-grade heavy laser cannons. these pack a massive punch on any target, be it capital ships or ground targets.
Alas, the main drawback of this ship is the difficulty to control. The flight stystems have no yaw control, which is very awkward for landings.
However, if you do manage to get used to this ship, it is absolutely devestationg in the hands of the right captain.
