| Description: |
|
The ship most members of the Landsraad think of when they think of naval might, the Frigate is a versatile bearer of House standards. Carrying a normal armament of a Heavy Lasgun, Missiles, Gauss Cannons and Vulcan Railguns, the Frigate has good maneuverability for a capital ship and is relatively inexpensive to produce for its effectiveness. The House Navies have found that these ships are best used as hunter/killers, using their maneuverability to their best advantage. Without a Holtzman shield and with only moderate armor, it is not as sturdy a ship as the designers had originally hoped. However, it is an effective ship at all ranges, and the combination of weapon systems it employs is particularly advantageous when utilized in conjunction. It also is the largest vessel capable of a planetary landing, and may take off without any additional assistance.
