A frigate is a versatile stellar unit armed with missiles. Each frigate has four hangar spaces.
Advantages[]
Due to the low cost of production and hangar space, frigates often play an important role for a beginning player. In addition they are particularly strong against cruisers and heavy cruisers.
Frigates are also strong against disruptor turrets provided there are no deflection shields or planetary shields. Frigates are the lowest tier unit that can crack a planetary ring in the absence of planetary shields.
Some players have researched missile technology to level 23 and above, making frigates dangerous to unprotected fleets due to a combination of their speed and power.
Disadvantages[]
Frigates are vulnerable to fighters and dreadnought fleets. Commonly it takes six fighters to destroy a frigate, while dreadnoughts are capable of shield-raping frigates.
