Frigate

Overview
The Frigate is one of the current 5 classes available in Galactic Junk League.

The Frigate's specialization comes from its enhanced speed, which it sacrifices HP and CPU for, allowing it to dodge damage rather than tank it.

It has good hit-and-run based attacks, able to deal heavy damage to single targets using its class abilities.

Usage
Generally, the ideal weapons to use on Frigates are tier 1 weapons - Phasers, Gatling Gauss and Rocket Launchers.

While other weapons can be used effectively on frigates, the frigates high speed and attack power allows them to take full advantage of these shorter ranged but higher damage weapons.

The most common tactic employed by skilled Frigate pilots involves hit and run-based attacks. Taking advantage of its class abilities, one can stun a target using Particle Burst and "drill" into the core of the ship using Gatling Gauss.

If done correctly, this can potentially kill large ships very quickly by focusing on where the ship is weakest to destroy its core block. Using the Shield is also recommended to increase the survivability should the enemy ship recover from stun.

Countering
Almost all frigates have little defense since all blocks have 60% of their HP. Using Rocket Launchers proves mode effective due to their homing ability.

Gatling Gauss can prove a good counter too, but is harder to aim due to not being hitscan. Gauss Cannons are generally ineffective against Frigates, however can 1-shot them if they do manage to hit.

Trivia

 * For every level above 2, Cpu grows by 20 per level.
 * Like most other classes, the Frigate maxes out at level 30
