Patrol Corvette

[phavoc]

(1) The placement of the forward turrets doesn’t seem right. The way they are jutting out into the main corridor seems forced. The neck itself also seems too narrow, and the corridor is only a single square (1.5m) wide. Main corridors should be two squares wide, or at least they are in other ships.
(2) The upper cargo hold seems pretty big for a patrol corvette. And the docking space for the launch doesn’t make sense because the launch can’t get in there sideways.
(3) The G-Carrier docking zone on the lower deck seems overly large, unless that was by design to allow for access. If the G-Carrier is out or the door opened you cannot move between upper and lower decks because there is no direct corridor (access is through the G-Carrier space. There are two hatches (one goes into the cargo area, again, inaccessible if open to space) and there is another directly into the engineering section (engineering should have it’s own secure access point).

The missile turret also needs to have adjacent space allocated for missile storage. I can't see crewmen hauling missiles past those tight bends and down a long corridor in the heat of battle.

Lol! During the heat of combat I can see some board naval ratings playing toss the missile down the corridor set to zero-g. Bowling for ensigns!

Some space for missiles seems to be included in the turrets themselves these days though, 12 missiles per launcher.

Is it just me missing something, or does the Patrol Corvette not have any regular airlocks? At all? It was the same with the current version, from Traders & Gunboats IIRC.

My estimate is that at 0.05-tonnes, only the one actually inside the launcher for a fully used triple turret.

Storage provision can be made if there is only one or two launchers in the turret.

Patrol corvette map layout is missing 8 and 9, both of which appear on the legend.

Check out the 2D deck plans. The maintenance bay and air raft hanger are not listed, nor is there room for either.
