Guys, giving the Frigates BS shields unbalanced them. They shouldn't be able to take on BSs. Heck, I'm a good Outcast Dreadnaught. I know its an egotistical comment, but I've noticed in during the war. Osorojo's Liberty Frigate could take 1/2 my hull before he died.
The frigate with a BS shield can dodge 40% of inferno and BR shots, plus have the same regen and cap as a BS. Then it has a pretty decently sized hull and bot/batt capacity. Its defenses plus agility make it just as strong as a battleship in defense. The only reason a BS outdoes the frigate is because of firepower. Thats the ONLY advantage a BS has, except the bare little hull it has more of, which doesn't matter if you factor in the agility of the Frigate + its much smaller size.
