For progress on the Seeker corvette advances at an incredible pace! Seen here is the outline of his majestic carapace. Note the prodigious weaponry of this, the least of Combine warships, and know your doom approaches. Please look away from the exposed Halo Drive. That is top-secret, proprietary Combine technology, and we assure you that you will glean no data that will assist you in repelling our attacks from studying this image. None. Whatsoever.
Our Seeker corvette nears completion, tremble in awe at his majesty! Swoon in fear of his weaponry! Fall into fits of apoplexy at his pricetag! We uh, we did not expect this one to cost so much. Pretty much still a hollow shell and already over 12million credits. Oh well! universal conquest is not for the faint of heart!
According to standard Combine doctrine, a corvette is a rapid response ship under 100m, whose purpose in fleet actions is to quickly reinforce formations as they fall under duress from hostile counterattack. The role of a frigate, a ship between 100m and 150m, on the other hand, is to provide long range support for fleet engagements, and though lightly armored for their class, are nimble enough to easily relocate to suit the needs of the fleet.
We will be posting more on Combine fleet docrtine at a later date.

I\'m sorry, I wasn\'t aware it was meant to look like a cow.
Get it? Beefier? Ahhhh nevermind.
We all tend to use our own classifications. One persons corvette is anothers Fighter, while anothers Frigate. Your corvette is about a frigate by my classification, but mine is void anyway considering it\'s your ship.
Anyways, I can\'t wait to see what you come up with next

Fleet doctrine really depends on your building style too, if you build long skinny ships your lengths are greater than if you build wide ships or bulky ships like I do.
Also the VFW Corvette is a little bigger than others might be because VFW doesn\'t field a gunboat that would be sized between corvette and friggate.

In that case, is there a half decent ship classifacation page somewhere? Preferably leaning toward larger ships, for example, a 20 by 20 by 80 ship is a corvette. Help would be appriciated.
Of the VFW\'s fleet doctrine a while back. Understand that these are loose guidelines, and that a ship\'s class has more to do with its intended role than its actual length or displacement. Even in the real world, there simply is no universal ship cpassification system. Each navy builds ships according to their needs and calls it whatever they feel is appropriate.

It has come to our attention that the Suppressor drones which shipped with the Seeker are defective. For reasons unknown, their tiny little batteries are draining even while they\'re freeloading off the ship. Cheeky little bastards! While power regeneration was not originally in their design specification, we have seen fit to release a slightly revised Suppressor. We are making these available now in the catalogue. Thank you for your patronage and have a miserable despair-filled fleshy existence.
