many people here probably never really used a frigate in combat! yes they can hold their ground for some time but ... they are a big target, bigger than many transports with bigger cargo hold,and that is fine because armor takes space. but the most important about frigates is their guns, that are gunboat turrets that gives then some firepower, and that is good ... if you hit your target!! try to hit a capable snub player with your gunboat turrets ... come on ... yeah! not easy!! that dispersion is not good! anyway ... i agree frigates should be separeted from normal transports, but don't give then a status of warship or like a gunboat, because they aren't. they are simply armored transports, like dockmasters say
