====== Frigate ======
{{  unit_frigate.png  }}

The Frigate is an excellent all round frontline ship capable of holding its own against the creeper.

===== Unit Stats =====
  * Requires 139.1 Energy to construct.
  * Fits in a box of 34 by 14 terrain pixels.
  * Equipped with:
    * 3x [[cannon|Mark 1 Cannon]]
    * 2x [[rocket|Mercury Rocket Launcher]]

===== Unit Usage =====
The Frigate serves a similar purpose as the [[Gunship]], capable of dealing immense damage to the creeper using its Mercury Rocket Launchers. In addition, it is able to hold its own without needing support from other ships thanks to the three Mark 1 Cannons.

Don't tell O.D.N. that I told you this, but I heard some commanders say that they park this ship backwards towards the creeper to enhance the range of the rocket launchers.

===== Spoilers =====
<hidden Help Tab transcript>
The Frigate is a true battle platform. Equipped with three Mark 1 Cannons and two Mercury Rocket Launchers, it can spearhead assaults against heavily fortified creeper positions. Perform this maneuver at your own risk!
