Shipyard: Warships
The two ships in this section are very powerful. Technically, there are several other ships that could go in this category, but they all fall into the Confed, Rebel, and Alien sections. However, these ships are more powerful than most of the ships on those pages.

Corvette | back to top |
|
The Maskirovka IPV-1 Corvette is a hard ship to classify - its maneuverability and acceleration make it perform like a heavy fighter, but it is armed like a light capital ship. Maskirovka builds the Corvette to fill the gap in the commercial starship market between the classical starfighters and the super-powerful Atinoda Kestrel. The Corvette has been popular with corporate governments who need to police their space, as it makes an excellent customs and patrol vessel.

EVula's Notes:
The Corvette is a very versatile ship. For Pirates, this is an awesome ship, as you can hold 50 tons of weaponry, and 60 tons of cargo. Its stock armament allows you to take on almost any other ship in the game; you can even sell some of the stuff to make room for a Hawk bay, should you so choose. All in all, this is a great ship.

Kestrel | back to top |
|
The Atinoda Kestrel is the most powerful ship available to civilians. In addition to its already formidable complement of weaponry, this sleek, black vessel carries a pair of Lightning fighter-bombers; this combination is the reason the Kestrel is classified as an escort frigate. Of course, Atinoda only sells this kind of firepower to the most reputable of private customers, but rumor has it that a freighter full of Kestrel subassemblies recently disappeared near the edge of Confederation space...

Weapons
1 Torpedo Launcher

EVula's Notes:
The Kestrel is THE most powerful ship you can get without sticking to either government. Its 2 Lightning fighters are powerful in their own right, and should you decide to add more missiles and torpedos to your ship, you turn your Kestrel into an almost Carrier/Weapon Platform hybrid. Its large cargo space is another reason that pirates like it so much, and it makes it easy to do well-paying cargo jobs, too.
