Depending on the mission requierments for your Corvettes, we can provide you with two designs. As well, we have a numbe of Frigate and Patrol Boat designs that may interest you for use in the role of a Corvette.
Keep in mind that any/all systems can be swapped out for local equivilabts fairly easily and at no extra cost.

If interested in our other ships, our Frigates and Patrol Boats, to fulfill a simmilar role, please don't hesitate to ask.

We would like to buy 24 Gaul Class Patrol Corvettes, and we ask that you de-mount the 7.62mm GPMG's as we will replace them with .50 caliber machine guns, and the 15mm mgs will not be required either since we will want to put our own 25mm MGs

How about one of these corvettes?

:rolleyes:

While I'm obviously not MT, I can refer you to several a list of store fronts which HotRodia collected over the years.

The Handy Dany Storefront List (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=380381)

That should help you to buy some MT Corvettes (it helped me a lot).

MB-1 Christina Class Missile Boat

Also the ship is protected completly from 25mm machine gun fire and gan take glancing 5 inch shell strikes.

The same three 5 inch cannons provide rapid fire capability for destroying the pirates, corvettes and frigates which may harrass your docks or merchant ships and it has standard air defense capability.
