Things that I hate about my ship.

The Mk-41 Tactical, I think its too much.
The bottom of the vessel is from the old parts sheet, I want to make my own.
I'm not big on the landing pad, I might mess with that a little.
I think its too short.
I know I'm most likely missing out antennas and radar equipment.

Heuhen is correct, for a corvette, length-wise its probably about right. Any larger and it would start getting into Frigate range.

A few thoughts on my part...

1. The placement of the Phalanx CIWS is probably not the best. I would consider moving them to the upper part of the superstructure.
2. The mast seems overly large (to my eyes anyhow) for what it is actually carrying.
3. Personally, I don't see much wrong with your helo landing area. You seem to have provided ample space, plus have good access to the hanger.
4. Not big on the placement of the aft VLS.
5. Maybe an 40mm Oerlikon or something like that atop the hanger?

You have a ways to go, but overall, I'd call it a good start. :)

Few questions. First: What is that plate under the bridge? Is it supposed to be SPY? Second: SM-3? On a corvette? Its an Anti-Ballistic Missile, it seems very odd to equip a Corvette with it.

Did not know this. Picture saved for Frigate reference.

1. Understandable. I drew my ship on paper up first with a lone Phalanx right behind the hanger with a smaller 'stack, but I set them on the side and turned them into SeaRAMs for some unknown reason.
2. I have issues with mast size, I tend to go off the British with my masts.
3. Thanks.
4. I'm not either, but the ships designed to be like an escort vessel that would linger on the edge of a fleet and act as a first line of defense.
5. Oh? I don't normally put stuff on my hangers, seems like it wouldn't be able to be held up.

Thanks again.

Its supposed to be SPY-1 for the SM-3s, however I don't see much use of it myself so I might take it out, make my own VLS cell that can only fit the ASROC and ESSMs.

Also, with your SPY set up like that, your ships radar coverage is a cone in front of your ship. Your going to want to put a spy plate on the side, under the bridge. This is what the layout should look like.

Also, SPY seems like overkill for a Frigate/Corvette.

Alright, improved on.

-Removal of S-3 and SPY-1.
-Addition of 20mm autocannon above hanger.
-Replacement of SeaRAMs with Phalanx Block 1Bs and moved forward.
-Added more details such as rails, ladders, and prettied up the helipad.

That's a whole load of superstructure for a small ship! What's in there?

Uhhh.

Stuff?

It helps me from loading up the ship with weapons and junk, a sort of inhibitor.
