	Heavy frigates are usually the first capital ship that less experienced pilots will obtain; many such pilots will go on to make the mistake of thinking they can "just shoot down" anything small that comes close. However, with a slow ship speed and relatively sluggish projectile speed, heavy frigates are vulnerable to being whittled away at by teams of closely-linked strike fighters and gunships.

	With access to several weapons (torpedoes, heavy lasers, triple turrets, phasers, plasma cannons, laser cannons~~, light turrets~~, heavy turrets, and point defense turrets), it may be difficult to decide what should and should not go on such a warship. Most players make their main armament with several shield-breaking phasers facing all directions, accompanied by heavy turrets for steady, general purpose damage output. Alternative weaponsets usually include HTs, but with a different heavy weapon to compensate; the most common are triple turrets and occasionally even torpedoes; heavy lasers are usually not worth putting on a frigate.

	Heavy Frigates have access to [[0.8 Particle Shield\|0.8i-class Chetherite Shields]], incredibly resilient shield generators which take 90% less damage from all sources as long as the shield itself is above 80% power. As such, most players tend to concentrate their bridge, concrete, and navigational systems inside the chetherite shield for added protection. It is worth noting that since shield regeneration will prioritize the lowest value first, taking a lot of hits on other shields will weaken the chetherite shield's regeneration rate.

	'''Light Frigates,''' also known as '''4.9k'''s, are a subclass of Frigates which occupy a unique niche set apart from both similarly-sized [[Corvettes]] and larger, heavier Frigate variants. They are fast platforms that, with an armament of [[Phaser\|phasers]] for breaking shields but very little in the way of hull-breach finishers, depend a lot more on pilot skill when it comes to matchups against enemies in duels.

	They often have a front bridge to most effectively utilize their [[Starship Weapons\|Plasma Cannon]] or [[Laser Cannon]] primary weapons; however, they're smaller than their Attack Frigate and Heavy Frigate cousins and can thus dodge enemy capital ship attacks. Light frigates are primarily tuned to counter large capital ships like [[Destroyer\|Destroyers]], being able to conduct hit-and-runs to whittle down slower targets.

	Attack Frigates are typically referred to as "6.5k"s by experienced ~~ship-builders~~, as these ships must have a block count of at least 6500 in order to fire [[Heavy Turret]]s, which are their primary weapon. These ships are typically made with block counts as close to 6500 as possible, in order to maximize the benefits that they receive from being a smaller ship (faster movement speed, faster shield regeneration, and a smaller profile).
