What do you think is hte reason to use them instead of just bulking up on heavier class ships?

Corvettes are good as anti starfighter and lightto medium ships. That is what I would use them as.

They are also fast. So they can be used with A-Wings for hit and run tactics.

Hit run against vents maybe? Cause they that they cannot outrun ISDs.

I would personally use the corvette as filler for a fleet. Possibly use it as Anti-Star fighter and use them to draw fire while my heavier ships attack.

yeah Popcorn's idea is what they were designed for. so thats what i'm planning to use them for use as early parts of my ships then when i get my Mon Cal's i'll use them for Anti-Figther and Escort Service.

the corellian corvette also work as light troop transports.

Corvettes have turbolasers no anti starfighter weapons. Thats what it is warlords its a light attack corvette the heavy versions are equiped with twice as much turbolasers.

it says EVERYWHERE That they are Anti-Stargfighter in this Game.

Hmm, I was under the impression that corvettes were multi-purpose ships that can carry supplies, troops, etc. At least that's what it says on the official site.

it says EVERYWHERE That they are Anti-Stargfighter in this Game.

 

Yes, well that will be fixed in a mod because every single game has had the *Lancer* as the anti-starfighter ship.

the anti-fighter ship for the Imps but the rebels have been using corvettes for antifighter work since Rebellion. Even in the X-wing games they pawned fighters.

yeah i agree that the Lancer needs to be added as well but that doesn't fit in the timeframe. because it was developed after the TRD was used on the Death Star.

The mod that will add lancers will be extending the timeline to the end of RotJ first and then beyond.

 

Yay, LoW!

LoW has Horn thats enough

i would use a large group of vetts to be my first wave of a fleet let the take some damge and when the time comes send in my heaver ships

Not really, the Gunship fits that role a little better.

I think in the beginning they are the weapon of choice until the bigger captial ships come into play. But then they are still a good weapon to protect your crusisers from bombers.

 

But we will see

the gunships are still corvette class, just given another name. And yeah, they were better. I usually sent in my gunships first to clear out enemy fighters if I didn't feel like wasting ships.

cool thats a good tactic but i wish there was a unit that could be sent behind enemy lines and destroy the infastructure and lone ships thats what i do on the RTS Sci-fi games i've got they then more ships to where i want them for the final hit, could the Corvette serve this purpose?

i'd use them as transports and last resort frigates defending my heroes

the blocade runner i would install the sun crusher hull to it and ram all the imp ships and stations i can find.

that is after we find out how to add the sun crusher into the game

yeah Nathan its not Fast enough to do that the Sun Crusher's armour was Quantum layered if i recall but if you just built a sun crusher (without the torps) it would work as a ramming ship.

Well it depends if corvette's suck like they did in Rebellion, but they can probably defeat something in this game.

 

That broadside cruiser is it considered a corvette because it sounds like a good ship with the long range missle attack.

 

Also, they are good filler and cannon fodder for a fleet. So yeah probably I'd have a few to soak up some enemy fire and to sacrifice themselves for the glory of the Empire.

 

Hey Lando!!

they won't 'suck' they are all round Corvettes that have firepower and can be used to land Forces on planets.
