Technically Iceni's a corvette, though most people refer to it as a frigate for some reason. It's just a particularly tough corvette :nod:

The Enterprise - D
Diemos Corvette
Orion Destroyer
Aeolus Cruiser (its a good ship - just needs some better textures!)
The Hades Destroyer (that thing is just.....i dunno)
the Dreadnought Class Corvette (I-war)
The Destroyers from I-war 1(those things were MEAN!!)
The Cruisers from I-war 1(huge, bad-ass and DEADLY! Imagine seeing one of those go against an Orion or a hecate!)

....Admiral Bosh's command frigate, designated the NTF Iceni....


seems even V couldn't decide. The Iceni nailed that Sobek during the first SOC mission with little fuss so it may be a little powerful to be a corvette

Fine. Whatever. It's NOT a destroyer.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Hmm. Well given V's screwed up naming system, they may have decided that a frigate was basically a super-hard corvette. But don't forget the Iceni was a one-off custom job designed partly by Bosch, so it'd be built tougher than ships of the line.

Where did Bosch get the money for his Iceni venture anyway? Was it originally a GTVA project that he was in charge of and stole?

I believe that's the storyline, IIRC.

And table wise it's got 90k HP and heavy beams... definitely nearer to destroyer than corvette.

The Iceni was built at Polaris ship yards, under the Admiral's supervision, after the rebellion. He was a fleet Admiral so he must have had a fair few resources.
ETAK was a defunct GTA project.

It's got BGreens, which puts it in the Destroyer category.  It can broadside with two, so it's got some heavy firepower.

Where was the Colossus built?  Maybe Bosch was siphoning off some of the raw materials for his own uses...........

If we're counting corvettes, its the Advanced Patcom from Iwar2 for me. The Raynor is a close second, for obvious reasons. Oh, and all the capships from Starlancer.

Hey mikhael, the Adv Patcom with turret fighters, or with the heaviest PBCs you can find and Quadpack Launchers?

Bah. After you're done with the Tug, leave those T-fighters behind unless you REALLY need independent wingmen. Right now I pack three QL-PBCs and three RF PBCs, with two quadpacks full of the best dogfighting missile I can get (or deathblow remotes). Later, I'll replace two of the QL-PBCs with Neutron PBCs and the RF PBCs will become H-PBC or AM-PBCs.
