- Maneuverability: The Commandant 2 has exceptional maneuverability, and is able to quickly strafe both in atmosphere and in space. As well, the ship can quickly accelerate to top speed or stop which enables close range runs on the bridges and critical systems of far larger ships
- Weak points: The previous weak points in the ship’s shielding remain unsolved. If a handful of turbolaser shots are directed at the engine housings at the right angles the shields will fail far faster than they normally would, leaving the already lightly armored ship vulnerable to damage.
A direct improvement on the concepts of the older model of corvette, Arms Dynamics’ Commandant 2 Corvette uses improved engines and custom weaponry to give the older light warship new use as a dedicated skirmisher. The refinement of engine and flight control characteristics has massively improved the warship’s maneuverability and provided even greater speed for slash and run attacks. The outdated generic heavy repeating blasters have been upgraded to proper Crucible Cannons, and the number of munitions launchers has doubled to increase the ship's capabilities against heavy opponents.
