Why not? Frigate is just a class like the two other, they dont cost more or something… what is your justification to that comment other than that you like to fly FRIGs and in your book they should be the be-all-end-all ship, taking on multiple ships of whatever class and win.
If the only way to beat FRIGs is to bring more FRIGs of your own, this falls into the category of OVERPOWERED (IF, the only way to beat something is to outnumber it with it self = OVERPOWERED)
FRIGs were beaten by CEPTORs which were beaten by FIGHTERs which were beaten easily by FRIGs in return, this is called balance not the crap we have now with “ROLES”.
The simple reasoning is that frigates are large Heavy duty ships.
If they dont have the survivability vs a Interceptor, its gets kind of pointless. Why bother flying … actually why bother designing and building a big heavy ship if it offers no advantages.
Small fast ship = low assault and low health.
mid size ship = medium armor moderate hitting power.
Large slow ship = Heavy armor & heavy hitting.
2/3 interceptors should be able to take out a frigate
1/2 fighters should be able to take out a frigate
1/1 frigate should be able to take out a a frigate
This is just common logic, how can you fail to see that.
If your statement of “Frigate is just a class like the two other”
Fine i want my frigate just as fast as your interceptor.
Wow no that really sounds stupid doesn’t it. Because they are different.
