Your Battlecruiser starts with 1 Corvette docked in the Hangar.
Corvettes are sluggish with low engines, projectile speed, and a moderate turn rate. Corvettes are ideal for defending Miners and deterring offensive attacks, but can also be used offensively with the help of an ally Wraith and by storing enough energy.
Corvettes also have large hulls that can soak up damage.
Corvettes Photon Barrage is lethal at close ranges.
Upgraded Corvettes are a powerful weapon that can turn the tides in Battlecruiser vs Battlecruiser battles.

http://i.imgur.com/UuudqaF.jpg	Fire Photon Barrage	20	0	Fires 5 photon projectiles.

Corvettes should formost distract, tank and provide cover for your teams small ships.
Ionic Transfer makes the Corvette a very dangerous ship.
Thruster upgrades can increase the dps of Corvettes as staying closer to enemies allows the Photon Barrage to connect more projectiles.
The Corvette is a very good ship, however it's limited early game by its engine speed and energy.
Rest Corvettes inside Asteroid Fields to recover energy before attacking the enemy. A Corvette needs proper energy reserves before attacking.
Use Reflective Shield to cover yourself or to block enemy projectiles from hitting ally ships.
Use Photon Rush offensively to reduce the distance between you and enemies or defensively to flee across the map.
When attacking, go in from below. The view is greater above ships and smaller below.
Hold shift and F (fire Photon Barrage hotkey) to get a reliable volly of attacks against adjacent enemies.

-*[[Infiltrator]]: Best response to spotting an Infiltrator is letting your team know ASAP so they can respond accordingly, otherwise engage an Infiltrator by trying to EMP the ship and make the Infiltrator waste its Phase Shift ability making its approach to your Battlecruiser much more dangerous.
+*[[Infiltrator]]:
-*[[Subjugator]]: Best to run from these heavy support ships; they can nullify your speed advantage and can block all of your projectiles with its force prism. If you decide to take one on try to get inside its prism where it will be vulnerable and kill any automatons that it makes.
+*[[Subjugator]]:
-*[[Battlecruiser]]: Stay outside the Battlecruisers sight range and attack in vollys, after which you should side boost abit to avoid blind attacks from the enemies Weapons Console. If Cloak is available you can scout the enemy Battlecruiser and your team can snipe it accurately with the sight you provide.
