'''Light Frigates''' are a subclass of [[Frigates]] which occupy a unique niche, set apart from both similarly-sized [[Corvettes]] and larger [[Frigate|Frigates]]. They are fast platforms that are large enough to use [[Starship Weapons|phasers]], and usually have a front bridge to most effectively utilize their [[Starship Weapons|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 [[Destroyer|Destroyers]], being able to conduct hit-and-runs to whittle down slower targets. Unlike most ship classes, they aren't particularly good at "punching down" to eliminate targets immediately smaller than themselves. | '''Light Frigates''' are a subclass of [[Frigates]] which occupy a unique niche, set apart from both similarly-sized [[Corvettes]] and larger [[Frigate|Frigates]].

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. Unlike most ship classes, they aren't particularly good at "punching down" to eliminate targets immediately smaller than themselves.
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.
