The post with the breaking announcement does not describe in detail what the exact role of the corvette ship is.
Judging from naval warfare, the corvette will be smaller,faster, more maneuverable than the frigate.
I am just asking if this is really the place where corvettes will stand. Devs: if this wrong, where do they fit? Between frigates and cruisers? cruisers and capships?
I will go forward with the initial notion that they are smaller than frigates, since it's what the 'corvette' title implies.
That would leave us with these sort-of ship sizes/classes in Sins:
- trade ships / constructors (non-controllable)
- fighters/bombers
- corvettes (NEW OMFG BBQ)
- frigates
- cruisers
- capital ships
- titans
Fighters and bombers have no skills, shields, or jump drives.
Frigates have all three.
Will corvettes have all these three features too?
If yes, what, then will be done to differentiate them from frigates?
What's the devs' general idea about the corvettes, so that we players can chime in with our endless ideas?
