'''Light Combat Frigates''' form the backbone of an early game fleet. A good balance of cost, speed, survivability and firepower, light frigates are a cost effective method for adding to fleet firepower early on. They are the only fully combat-oriented frigate that can be built without any research. However, due to the vulnerability of the Light Frigate to enemy [[Long Range Frigate]]s, it can be a good idea to combine them with [[Corvette]]s after they become available, since the Corvettes can destroy Long Range Frigates while the Light Frigates counter the Corvettes' greatest enemy, hostile [[Anti-Strike Craft Frigate|Flak Frigates]]. If the map is reasonably spacious and your prime objective is expansion and colonization, without expecting to encounter enemy forces early on, it's often a good idea to build [[Scout Frigate]]s as the bulk of your initial fleet (possibly supplanted by Corvettes once they are researched). Although Light Frigates are a decent general-purpose combat unit, Scouts and Corvettes are much more cost effective [[Strategies#Scout-based_colonization|for attacking Krosov militia]], which are the only militia that you ''really'' need to kill in order to take the planet. As compared to Corvettes for direct combat purposes, Light Frigates are stronger on a per-supply basis and can defeat an equivalent Corvette force; however Corvettes are faster and are superior against light-armored targets (Scouts, [[Colony Frigate]]s, [[Construction Ship|Constructors]], [[Bomber]]s) as well as [[Titan]]s, since they are not affected by many devastating titan abilities whereas all other frigates are. == Overview== *'''Armor''': Medium (25% damage from Fighters and Anti-Strike Craft Frigates; 50% damage from Bombers; 150% damage from Long Range Frigates; and full damage from Siege Frigates, Support Cruisers, and other Light Frigates) *'''Damage''': Anti-Heavy (75% damage to Siege Frigates, Long Range Frigates, Colonization Frigates, and Construction Frigates; 125% damage against Support Cruisers, Light Carriers, and Anti-Strike Craft Frigates; and full damage to everything else) ===TEC=== {{Main|Cobalt Light Frigate}} ===Advent=== {{Main|Disciple Vessel}} ===Vasari=== {{Main|Ravastra Skirmisher}} ===Pirates=== {{Main|Pirate Rogue}} [[Category:Frigates]] [[Category:Light Frigates|*]]
