Description
K-2 Corvette

NO MODS!

The K-2 was designed out of a need for a small ship with a little more capability than a patrol gunship. Keeping length beneath 70 meters, the K-2 falls into the traditional corvette role. Armament has a focus toward anti-aircraft but a pair of missile turrets and a pair of bow-mounted rocket launchers allows it to assist in engaging capital ships. Another critical feature is the K-2 is the smallest ship in my line to be equipped with a jump drive, allowing it to scout long distances and keep up with fleet movements.

Stats:

Blocks: 595
Length: 62.5 meters (25 blocks)
Mass: 816 tons
Environment: Zero Gravity, Low Gravity (ION up to .28G, with Hydrogen up to .94G).
Max Jump Distance: 2000 km

Weapons:
2 Missile Turrets
5 Gatling Turrets
2 Interior Turrets
2 Rocket Launchers

Powerplant:
4 Small Reactors
1 Auxiliary Battery
Total: 72 MW
ION and Hydrogen Propulsion

Features:
Vertical-oriented hydrogen thrusters

Subsystems:
1 Hydrogen Tank
1 Jump Drive
2 Cryo Chambers

Special thanks to:
Keen Software for the creation of the pirate faction!

Enjoy folks!

Thank you! I'm quite happy with how these came out. The K-2 in particular has a satisfying combination of speed, maneuverability, and armament.

Ok, Cool ships btw!

It is sort of both. The assets used in the official campaign are labeled as either rebel ships or pirate ships, such as 'pirate repurposed miners.' Aragath tends to publish them under the designation of R.U.S.T. so these ships have three different names for their faction.

I thought it was part of the rebel faction?

Thank you! I've been using a WWII classification system for lengths and displacement (corvettes under 70m like the Flower class, frigates/DEs up to 95m, destroyers up to 120m, etc.). This mostly applies to my dozens of unreleased NFDF ships, however. This 'pirate' line is based off of the ships in the official keen campaign, which seem to be slightly shorter than that system.

I am starting to wonder if this design has enough maneuvering thrusters. Power is adequate and it has a higher gyro/mass ratio than I typically have... I think another series of trials is in order.

It is preaty nice and usefull ( mostly in pairs of 2 as one is a bit underpowered in a 1v1 battle whit a biger ship , but when it comes to ship to fighter combat its very good ) doe for a corvette its a bit short in lenght ( not saying it dosent calsifiy as one due to the Tons it has ) but its more comon to see corvette's as a speedy , long , arrow shaped design so this defenetly stands out . But as a tip for the future try making ships tin and tall ( like a ship with 2 or more levels [sort of like the halo frigate ] ) as in a small , long and overlaped ( more levels build ) design you can fit a lot more usefull stuff . As a conclusion the ship is preatty good ( mayby a bit to short and chunky for my taste ) and usefull , keep em coming !
