Light Frigates are a subclass of Frigates which occupy a unique niche, set apart from both similarly-sized Corvettes and larger Frigates. They are fast platforms that are large enough to use phasers, and usually have a front bridge to most effectively utilize their Plasma 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 Destroyers, being able to conduct hit-and-runs to whittle down slower targets.
Light Frigates are evenly matched by Corvettes, are countered directly by Attack Frigates and full size Frigates, and are countered indirectly by Attack Destroyers and Destroyers. Light Frigates are a counter to Cruisers and Battlecruisers.
Capable of firing 11 Laser Cannons at once while not being able to use either Pulse Cannons or Heavy Turrets, Light Frigates are in a unique position to take advantage of Laser Cannons to supplement the high shield damage of phasers while punching above their weight in ability to deal hull damage. Historically, few Light Frigates have been built to take advantage of this.
History
They were heavily utilized by RentDueYesterday, Vask Authority, and Vega. They also saw limited use by Cortesia Del Mar and Imperial Nova
