==Overview:==
     The RX-78 Class corvette was the first combat JumpShip built by the
Federated Commonwealth. Design work started in mid 3050, and by late 3051 the
WarShip design had reached its present form. After Prince Hanse Davion
approved the design, the Federated Commonwealth contracted Federated-Boeing
Interstellar to produce the vessel at its Port Simon yards at Galax. The death
of Prince Davion in mid 3052 came a scant two months before the keel-laying
ceremony for the first RX-78, the Invincible. In honor of the late prince, the
design was redesignated as the Fox Class corvette.
     Construction of the prototype WarShip proceeded smoothly until mid 3055,
when ComStar blocked the export of vital engine parts to Federated-Boeing.
After a 16-month delay, the dispute was finally resolved, and the parts were
delivered. Federated-Boeing had hoped to begin trials with the prototype
before the end of the year, but the recent terrorist attack on the Galax yards
has delayed work and the Fox is not expected to be completed until early
3058.
     When compared to the corvettes used by the SLDF, the Fox is well armed
and armored, which reflects changes in naval design philosophy. Although the
Fox weighs only 235,000 tons, it outguns Star League destroyers almost three
times its size. However, this increased performance has a price---namely the
comfort of the crew. Twenty-six four-man cabins house Fox's crew and marine
complement. Each cabin contains little more than a bunk for each crew member
and an equipment locker. Recreation facilities are similarly limited,
comprising a small lounge on the vessel's grav deck and two small mess halls.
Although the Fox has yet to launch from its dock, potential crew members have
already registered their objections to these arrangements. As a result, later
vessels (the second and third Foxes are to be named Indomitable and Intrepid
respectively) may benefit from redesigned crew facilities.

==Overview:==
     The RX-78 Class corvette was the first combat JumpShip built by the
Federated Commonwealth. Design work started in mid 3050, and by late 3051 the
WarShip design had reached its present form. After Prince Hanse Davion
approved the design, the Federated Commonwealth contracted Federated-Boeing
Interstellar to produce the vessel at its Port Simon yards at Galax. The death
of Prince Davion in mid 3052 came a scant two months before the keel-laying
ceremony for the first RX-78, the Invincible. In honor of the late prince, the
design was redesignated as the Fox Class corvette.
     Construction of the prototype WarShip proceeded smoothly until mid 3055,
when ComStar blocked the export of vital engine parts to Federated-Boeing.
After a 16-month delay, the dispute was finally resolved, and the parts were
delivered. Federated-Boeing had hoped to begin trials with the prototype
before the end of the year, but the recent terrorist attack on the Galax yards
has delayed work and the Fox is not expected to be completed until early
3058.
     When compared to the corvettes used by the SLDF, the Fox is well armed
and armored, which reflects changes in naval design philosophy. Although the
Fox weighs only 235,000 tons, it outguns Star League destroyers almost three

and an equipment locker. Recreation facilities are similarly limited,
comprising a small lounge on the vessel's grav deck and two small mess halls.
Although the Fox has yet to launch from its dock, potential crew members have
already registered their objections to these arrangements. As a result, later

I optimized the AMS in exchange for the loss of the MGs.
I then reorganized the LPL batteries for more consistent firing coverage.
I then removed a pair of NAC/10s in exchange for 12 Light Sub-capital cannon for secondary anti-ship and primary anti-fighter work.
I then added 4 Sub-capital Laser 3 to augment anti-ship and anti-fighter work.
I refitted the armor from Ferro-Aliminum to Lamellor Ferro-carbide at the same weight.
I also refitted the DHS to cover all weapons heat.
Lastly, I reorganized the crew as needed, upped the stores to 150 days, upped the fuel to 150 days, upped the escape system to 100%, and adjusted excess mass out of the cargo bay.

Overall, this improves the Fox's roll as a Corvette by improving its potential anti-fighter ability without risking or significantly impairing its anti-ship capabilities. Thought the sub-caps suffer a +3 to-hit (rather than the +5 of naval guns) its improved range over normal guns gives it a slight advantage in comparison. Now it can properly escort larger vessels and hurt any pests that come to bug the big guys.

Nice!

I have always thought someone should go through and correct the old designs to be something other than firetraps. Most of them just need more armor but your other tweeks are good too!

Then, I'm making some more subcap upgrades of other vessels.
