Frigates are the largest ships that can be piloted by players. They are considerably slower and less maneuverable than fighters, but much tougher. Frigates are at their best when supporting other ships, such as by repairing friendly ships, denying areas to the enemy and providing fire support from long range.

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

Guard ships 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.

Long Range

The name of this role speaks for itself. They are designed for long-range firing. Long Range Gunships can use their disintegrators or guided torpedoes (depending on the model of the ship) to fulfill this task. Their active modules provide them with extremely powerful special weapons and camouflage (when immobile). However, the application of high-power and long-range weapons comes at the cost of armour and shields.
