Frigates
"Frigates Description Text" + Engineers and Guards have four gun turrets each, while Long Ranges are the only ships armed with six turrets.
Roles
Engineering
Engineering ships are designed for construction of auxiliary facilities on the battlefield, as well as for repair of allied ships. Engineers can build barriers, where allies can hide from enemy fire. In addition, they can use warp gates to transfer the allied ships across long distances. Together with their buildings, Engineering ships serve as a reliable rear guard for their team. They can repair allied ships, restore their shields, while their combat drones can help them cope with enemy attacks from the rear.
Guard
Guards are designed to protect their team from enemy missiles, as well as enhance the defences of allied ships. In addition, their active modules can stop the enemy from using afterburner engines, and thus make them easier targets. Guard ships feature strong defences and an enhanced Phase Shield. However, these advantages are offset by the relatively small damage dealt by their main weapons.
