The Heavy Corvette (HC) is a ship that has two dual-turret laser autocannons. It is also only the ship with torpedo launchers. The HC has very high dps (5700 without torpedoes) and a very large healthpool of 28,000 total HP. As a result, the HC is a very good multirole ship, being very good at sieging, destroying lightcraft, and destroying midships. Piloting the HC will require mechanical skill, mostly in aiming.
