' Wrote:@OsoRojo; The point was the frigate shouldn't be able to stand toe-to-toe with the battleship. It wasn't made for that. It was made to be something in between the BS and cruiser. It should have something like 325k hull, then they have heavier weaponry than cruisers, and are smaller than the battleship. Look at both frigates. Very hard targets for a BS. Both have very skiny middle sections good for dodging. They also have enough firepower to kill a cruiser, and good enough to fight off fighters, instead of a stalemate of neither being able to hurt the other. A frigate plus a cruiser can kill a BS. Either by itself shouldn't be able to.
This would hold if I was using heavy weapons, like lvl 10 razors and Infernos. However, I was killing them with lvl 9 (2 razor and 2 infernos, its wasn't the shield doing it. The shield just gave me a little more time), which can be done by cruiser and they have thruster and lvl 9 shield. So by your logic, are ya going to reduce the effectiveness of the cruiser, as well, by removing thruster?
It saddens me that at every turn a stratgem or manuver is created by a player in keeping with rules and the consensus of the community is to repress the intiative. It feels like the life is being sucked out of the game.

P.S. curious did the versions before 4.82 have the frigates with same configuration before 4.83 change?
Addendum: in addition my control configuration had a large part to play in my victories. I am able to rock and roll between types so can bring my weapons to bear quick as situation demands.Overall, it wasn't all the ship that destroyed the percious Bs, but the pilot as well. To be honest the 2 10lvl slots are more of an albatross around a Frigate's neck.
