    Name:
    Leopard Class Corvette

    Role: long range combat, high speed skirmishing, assault support, drone carrier

    Description:
    the final official entry in the first generation of the Animal Series, the Leopard M-2 LR CR, or simply called the Leopard, or Leopard Class Corvette, fills the gap for a longer-range warship, missile boat, and drone carrier.

    Trading off a traditional PDC system, the Leopard sacrifices AMS capability for an array of kinetic, beam and missile weaponry designed to chew through single targets, harass capital/cargo ships, or deliver overall damage to multiple targets.

    Combined with 4 high power engines, a tier 3 FTL Drive and a staggering array of 12 turrets, two hard point weapons, 2 built in weapons, and two docking stubs for small drones, the leopard lives up to its name as a predator, despite its lack of a cloaking system.

    Matching even the professional Arbalest Class Frigate with its sheer destructive capability, the Leopard is a formidable light warship, even more so when backed by a skilled fleet and/or a complete drone compliment.

    any cargo ship or poorly equipped pirate ship should be wary if its crew sees its signature shape on their sensors.

    Latest reviews

    The Missiles turrets are ineffective. They do far too little damage. The ships shields and weapons were unable to defeat pirate stations.

    In a side by side comparison to other corvette with similar reactor size, this ship has far lower combat effectiveness.

    The ship is indeed fast.

    The shape is unique but it is still rather blocky.

    The ship has no faction block, which is a big problem.

    There are 100 more stabilizers than the ship needs.

    Thrusters pods are cool

    this ship isn't really meant to go up against pirate stations. The leopard is more of a long-range attack ship meant to destroy other lightly armed/armored combat ships, unguarded cargo ships, or help harass capital ships alongside large vessels with more damage. Thank you for pointing out the lack of a faction block though, i'll include it then update it.
