Description
HOW TO USE:
DODGE! DODGE! DODGE! This ship relies on speed for survival, if you are not dodging you are dying.(This is part of why it was mostly phased out
in favor of the frigate)

The Phobos fought well with the ESC in the first lunar war and was a natural choice for the INC in the second lunar war. While it did form the
backbone of the INC fleet in the early war able to strike well above it's weight. In one instance even destroying two OAD frigates
(admittedly with fighter support). It was planned to have it's poor survivability be supplemented with the Monitor, which was effectively a slightly
larger up-gunned and up-amored corvette. That did not happen as only one was built and by the time the corvette was really out gunned we had enough
frigates to not only fill the gap but exceed the enemy, these frigates would not come close to being matched by the enemy until the end of the war.
Later in the war there was an attempt to revitalize the ship by converting it to a bombing role, by replacing the rear flatmo with a dual large grid
bomb printer. 3 of these were made, the first succeded in validating the concept against stations and slow moving ships. However it was lost to the
Factorum (likely do to the survivability mentioned above). Two others were built in a rush to attack the ALT moon base but only one of them actually
made it there in time and it is unclear if it did any bombing, but it did survive (the other seems to have just disappeared).

Overall while the Phobos did a great job of punching above it's weight it was just too small and too fragile to survive against enemys which got close, and
was phased out in favor of the frigate which was more versatile. While it is likely that Phobos corvettes will be constructed and used the future, they will
likely take more of an auxiliary/recon/disposable role.
