Title: The fate of IPV-1?
Post by: kucsidave on March 12, 2016, 01:20:07 PM

Since in Ascendancy we saw Arquitens as the PA's Corvette, will it also come into ICW for the PA as the Corvette, or will the IPV-1 Remain?
And if it comes trough, will the IPV-1 go to one of the Warlords?

While I do not play Ascendancy, I don't think that it'll replace the IPV-1 and more like be some kind of in-between from a corvette and a light frigate, think the DP20

I asked because in ascendancy it completely took the Anti-Fighter role and only that. (that's the reason the team made the ship there in the first place) and there is no IPV there. If the team would have just wanted to have some easy work they would have just converted the IPV there and done. Maybe omprove it some bit.
That's why I asked it in the first place ;)

Obviously don't know the grand plan, but I don't imagine the IPV-1 going anywhere for ICW.  The Arquitens, while it fills the anti-fighter role in Ascendency, is a totally different beast from the IPV-1.  It's a larger craft and is canonically SIGNIFICANTLY more heavily armed.  I envisage it'll stay Ascendency only.
