Frigates

Frigates are mobile, quick ships useful at taking out the expensive, heavy, and prized Battleships. They deal extra damage to Battleships, as well as receiving less damage from them. They are also the only ship out of the three that begin with a default movement value of one, meaning they don't have to equip a Transmission module to move. While they excel at scouting, and have excellent shields, they have the lowest carrying volume for modules and once their shields are gone, their structure is also the weakest. As an added bonus, all Frigates carry a +1% Chance of a Critical Hit.

Frigate Ships have two different types of Armor: Nano Armor and Neutralizing Armor. Nano Armor minimizes the damage dealt by Heat and Explosive Weapons while Neutralizing Armor minimizes the damage dealt by Magnetic and Explosive Weapons. Each ship hull has a different armor type, by matching up modules such as Particle Stun shield, which reduces Kinetic damage, it is possible to a Chrome hull into a ship nearly invulnerable against Kinetic weapons. To see more information about Armor, see theArmor Types page. Use the weapons and hulls with your modules to achieve maximum effectiveness and diversity in your designs and you'll soon be on you're way to conquering the galaxy.

Frigates deal more damage to Battleships and take more damage from Cruisers. The following table shows the Attack percentage and Defense percentage of the Frigate versus the other two ship types:

The following table is a list of all Frigate ships, their base attributes and the base cost per module installed on ships. For a comprehensive list of ALL ships and their stats go to the Composite Ship Table. Certain types of research can enhance their shields and structure.
