Cruiser Command

Have both teams start with a corvette. Why? It gives teams the option of having two people on offense, or allows a team to be both offensive and defensive without using the BC. It makes the very beginning more dynamic. The corvette's special abilities contrast well with the wraith, less mobile but more tanky.

Also, it makes losing one of the ships due to a newbie ramming it into asteroids not so bad (assuming someone competent took the other ship).

Its a good idea, usally corvettes are meant for mid game but we could test and see how it goes.

Maybe just making it a little cheaper would be good enough. IMO, early game your team should be punished with a tactical disadvantage if your wraith dies.
