I send one of my scouts to check out the cluster of systems in the lower part of the galaxy.
Space Marines duke it out with some skeletons on Loball V and uncover ancient spices, I do like the 10% bonus to research.
Corvette and the weapons research finishes, time to get some lazors! The advantage of beam weapons is that they dont require ammunition.
"Maelstrom Mk I" is my first Corvette design, two Railguns in bow, four rocket launchers on each wing and two point-defense Vulcans in rear.
I have no idea how well this thing performs, but it's going to be a temporary design. Once I get lazors, I'll design a Mk II version.
