  • In starship classification, a frigate is a fast, medium-sized starship intended to protect other vessels.
  • The Frigate is a ship available in Tropico 2. Built from the Shipyard, this vessel is perhaps the best ship to use in a cruise, with excellent staying power and reasonable speed. However, it is expensive, costing the same gold as a Galleon, but somewhat less wood. This article is a . You can help My English Wiki by expanding it.
  • A frigate was a starship classification applied to the smallest starships fielded by a galactic state. Frigates were designed to be fast and protected larger vessels while conducting general service missions. Frigates can be further typified as support frigates, fast frigates, light frigates, battle frigates, commando frigates and heavy frigates. (Decipher RPG module: Narrator's Guide; ST video game: Starfleet Command) Benjamin Sisko once commented that Starfleet frigates of the 23rd century were: "power packed ships". (DS9 novelization: The Search)
  • A Frigate (also referred to as a Space Frigate) is a class of Starship. It was the largest space-faring vessel that could successfully land and take off from a planet's surface in one piece.
  • Frigates have been a part of the series since Ultima I, but only starting with Ultima V was it possible to buy them (before, they could only be captured from pirates). This was also the first time that skiffs were supplied with a frigate. By the time of Ultima VI, skiffs were not standard fare on the frigates, but they had gained the ability to sail everywhere. Frigates were seen no more after that time, due to engine limitations reducing ships to simpler design. However, the intro to Ultima VII Part Two shows that actually the Avatar's ship is supposed to be a frigate.
  • Frigate was, at least for a time, planned for inclusion in multiplayer as evidenced by the string dest alongside the other multiplayer stage strings. A multiplayer GameShark setup for the stage was created by bmw.
  • The frigate was a type of small warship employed by many national space navies, such as the Royal Manticoran Navy. The type was smaller than a destroyer, and mainly used for such duties as picketing, escorting convoys, and other roles reserved for small vessels.

  • The Frigate is a kind of fast battleship with vast firepower. Each race has a unique frigate (which differ mostly in appearance).
  • Frigates are the small, cheap workhorses of every fleet. A well-balanced armada is likely to be numerically dominated by specialized frigates, which may be used as scouts, skirmishers, colonization ships, and anti-fighter escorts. Frigates are built at Frigate Factories.
  • Ships built by Nigel Sheldon that uses a new technology not based on wormholes. This gives the advantage against MorningLightMountain as they cannot detect these ships while out of normal space. Some of these include Charybdis and Scylla.
  • Typically, a frigate would be the largest class of warship that a non-military force might be able to operate, and as such could serve as a flagship for small factions such as pirate bands or paramilitary and/or mercenary groups.
  • In Empire: Total War, a Frigate is a a small- to medium-size warship. Typically classified as a 5th or 6th rate, they carry anywhere from 28 to 50+ guns and carronades of varying sizes. Their small size reduces their usefulness in pitched fleet actions; but they were nonetheless essential elements of historical navies. Acting as scouts, raiders and escorts, frigates were said to be so versatile that "no admiral ever had enough of them."
  • The Frigate, based upon the real-life Cherubim, is an excellent gun platform. She has 1 gun deck and 1 weather deck.
  • There are nine sub-classifications of frigates: * attack frigate * incursion frigate * heavy frigate * tactical frigate * fast frigate * light frigate * strategic frigate * strike frigate * swift frigate
  • In starship classification, a frigate is a fast medium sized starship intended to protect other vessels. During the 24th century, Starfleet employed vessels designated as frigates.
  • A frigate is a versatile stellar unit armed with missiles. Each frigate has four hangar spaces.
  • The Frigate is one of the strongest and most durable combat warships in Age of Empires III.
  • During the 24th century, Starfleet employed vessels designated as frigates. (TNG: "Conspiracy" )
  • A ship about the size of a cruiser, made to conduct electronic attacks with missiles. VTOL facilities allow Harriers, Helicopters and UFOs on board.
  • A Frigate is an Anti Air and Anti sub vessel, however it is extremely weak against normal naval units.
  • A frigate was a type of warship. The term has been used for warships of many sizes and roles over the past few centuries. Frigates in the 18th century were usually square-rigged.
  • The Frigate is the standard Heavy Ship of the Gunpowder Age.
  • Build to transport units safely, or bombard coastal cities defensive bonus. The frigate was a fast and powerful warship that evolved to fill several important roles, but one of its primary roles was to raid enemy shipping. These three masted ships were lighter and faster than the great ship or man-of-war, and usually carried 36 or fewer soldiers. The frigate was powerful enough to overcome most of its prospective opponents and fast enough to escape those it could not outgun. Because of their speed and strength, frigates were often employed as escorts for merchant vessels during times of war. The frigate remained the most useful and dominant naval vessel until the development of the Queen of the Sea.
  • A Frigate is a type of warship . The Soviet Union is the most prolific user of Frigate-type naval units in Red Alert 2 modifications, using them armed with guided missiles or even tesla weaponry. The purpose of a frigate seems to be almost exclusively submarine-hunting, contrary to the Destroyer, which additionally has anti-air and veritable anti-surface firepower. The frigates' anti-surface armament is minimal.
  • Frigate is a naval unit available mid-game in several Civ games.
  • The Frigate class of player-flyable ships was introduced with the $13 million goal. It was successfully reached at July 5, 2013(Crowdfunding campaign).

  • Frigates was a kind of capital ship that was typically used in a skirmishing role to protect larger ships or other ships with a support role. They were still bigger than the smaller Corvette, but weren't as big as other kinds of capital ships like Imperial Star Destroyers for instance.
  • A Frigate is seen in Dune and is the largest spaceship that can be grounded on a planet and taken off in one piece, without fear of breaking up in the atmosphere. They are also called "Space Frigates".
  • A frigate is a naval ship-of-war, smaller than a ship of the line, with a single gun deck, built for speed and manoeuvrability, usually used for patrolling rather than in the line of battle, of at least 28 guns.Frigates were built square-rigged on all three masts.
  • A frigate is a type of tech 1 ship. Frigates are used for harassment in the early game and as picket ships in the later stages; more for their support abilities than their firepower. They have weaker bombardment capabilities when compared to other surface ships. In addition to their main weaponry, they also have some type of support function as well. The Beacon Class Aeon frigate has an anti-torpedo weapon, the Trident Class Cybran frigate has an anti-air weapon, the Thunderhead Class UEF frigate has both anti-air and a radar jamming system and the Hau-esel Seraphim frigate also has an anti-air system.
  • The frigate class of ships consist of light and fast but comparatively fragile ships. Players start with the ability to fly basic frigate-class ships. Their variety allows for a broad range of ships tailored to different profiles. For example the Caldari Kestrel, while unable to mount guns, is able to mount four missile launchers and sports a comparatively large cargo hold. The Amarr Punisher, while slow, has the toughest armour of any frigate. Generally frigates lack the durability or damage output of larger ship classes and are at most able to fit three to four small weapons. However, frigates are significantly faster and more difficult to hit than larger ships. They remain cost-effective because they are cheap and, in large numbers, can become dangerous to larger ship types. Due to thei
  • The main advantage of a frigate is the fact that it has strong firepower, often close to that of a larger capital ship, with more maneuverability and speed. Furthermore, with the exception of Ion Cannon Frigates, frigates generally have good coverage for a large ship and are effective anti-strike craft vessels. Frigates are therefore often designated as capital ship escorts, protecting the larger vessels from enemy strike craft. However, on occasion frigates are used in a purely offensive nature, particularly Ion Cannon Frigates.
  • In the 17th century, the term was used for any warship built for speed and maneuverability, the description often used being "frigate-built". These could be warships carrying their principal battery of carriage-mounted guns on a single deck or on two decks (with further smaller carriage-mounted guns usually carried on the forecastle and quarterdeck of the vessel). The term was generally used for ships too small to stand in the line of battle, although early line-of-battle ships were frequently referred to as frigates when they were built for speed.
  • A frigate was a type of military spaceship. Recorded usage of the term varies extensively, but it typically denoted a capital ship designed to serve in a skirmishing role to protect larger ships, or more generally, a ship designed to serve in some sort of support role. Historically, space frigates evolved from aquatic war vessels called Frigates. Their purpose was to protect aquatic transports from the Destroyer warships. According to the standard system of ship-classifications, a frigate was a ship with a crew of between 200 and 1,000 men, and an approximate size of 250-400m long, defined by the maximum size of smaller system patrol craft and the minimum size of larger cruisers. This was the definition that was officially used, although formal exceptions were made for ships like the heavi
