The ''Fox'' is incredibly well armed and armored for a corvette, especially when compared to [[Star League]]-era corvettes. Armed with a mix of [[Naval Laser|Naval Lasers]], light [[Naval Autocannon]], and [[Barracuda]] Capital Missiles the ''Fox'' can respond to a variety of situations and is better armed than Star League-era destroyers at three times its weight. A large complement of five DropShips provides a significant escort for the small ship and makes the ''Fox'' an ideal command vessel for small strike forces. Any WarShip it faces must be wary of the ''Fox'' thanks to its heavy armor, quadruple that of many other corvettes. As a result the ''Fox'' can take much more damage than most expect, giving the ship a decided edge against an overconfident opponent.<ref name="TRO:3057r118"/>

Armed with a mix of [[Naval Laser|Naval Lasers]], light [[Naval Autocannon]], and [[Barracuda]] Capital Missiles the ''Fox'' can respond to a variety of situations and face down most any vessel outside of another WarShip. A large complement of five DropShips provides a significant escort for the small ship and makes the ''Fox'' an ideal command vessel for small strike forces. Even small destroyers must be wary of the ''Fox'' thanks to its heavy armor, quadruple that of many other corvettes, and a match for that of much larger WarShips. As a result the ''Fox'' can take much more damage than most expect, giving the ship a decided edge against an overconfident opponent.  
  
The price of this increased performance is comfort, as four crewmembers are assigned to each of the 26 cabins, and given little more than a bunk and locker. A small grav-deck lounge and two small mess halls led to complaints even before the first ''Fox'', the FCS ''[[Invincible (Individual Fox-class WarShip)|Invincible]]'', launched. Given the objections, future ''Foxes'' were expected to improve on comfort.<ref name="TRO:3057r118"/>

One of the major features of the ''Fox'' is the use of a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]], a difficult-to-produce and expensive piece of technology that was rare even on [[Star League]] ships. Enabling the ''Fox'' to make two jumps in a row, the LF Battery is essential in border patrol or raiding missions where the ability to get in and out of a system quickly is a prerequisite.
