* This is the Pilot's toolbar. Each Gunner seat controls one missile turret, qhich appears on slot [1] of their respective toolbars

[WARNINGS]
* Do not fly ship with docking ramp open. It may become damaged.
* Having some issues with friendly turrets targeting the ramp. I think this issue is resolved, but let me know if you experience this as well.
* This ship uses a delicate system of pistons and rotors. I have not personally had any trouble with them when flying/turning at max speeds, however it is advised that you exercise caution when performing tight maneuvers at speed.
* The Corvette is slow to stop. In the event of a hard stop, the bottom surface (upwards thrust) has the most thrusters with which to slow down.

A corvette, by definition, is the smallest class of warship. To adequately capture this, the SRF Corvette is a large ship built on the small ship grid. It is constructed of light armor blocks to make it lighter, and thus quicker (and also to help facilitate atmospheric flight). This makes it unsuitable for large battles without a larger ship backing it up. The Corvette is best used as an Escort Vessel, or a transport for valuable cargo/passengers through dangerous space.

Sine it is technically a small ship, the corvette is unable to sustain a medbay, cryo chamber, jumpdrive, or localized gravity. This also means the ship is not airtight, though it boasts a full complement of Oxygen and Hydrogen tanks, as well as a pair of O2 generators to sustain crew and passengers for a long time. This means the ship cannot travel through deep space without being accompanied by large ship. This limits the ship to a mainly defensive role. On the positive side: the ship is a strong defensive machine. Its assortment of missile batteries are capable of damaging ships and stations, while its point-defense turrets neutralize fighters, hostile players, or incoming missiles. The forward and broadside batteries pack a wallop against large or stationary targets, meaning the vessle can cause significant damage to even a large ship if properly supported. While the light armor may make the ship vulnerable, power and gyroscopic control are spread throughout the ship in the form of batteries and multiple gyro bays to minimize the riskof incapacitation due to significant damage.

The ship also boasts a full interior and a working boarding ramp for passengers and crew, though it sometimes deposits disembarking players outside the ship. The ship is amphibious, meaning it can fly in and out of planetary atmosphere. It is also 100% modless, so it is compatibale with almost every copyof the game. It's sleek, it's powerful, and the SRF Corvette is an asset to any fleet.
