→Interceptors: Condensed the description to the bare minimum as Interceptors should provide the details. Especially removed some very wrong information about the use in nullsec. |
Moved the faction frigates between T1 and T2 which is more appropriate (compare also ingame ship tree). Pirate frigates are moved between faction and T2. Pirate and T2 frigates got a short intro text. |

There is a single T1 [[mining]] frigate, the Venture. It possess a large ore hold of 5000m3 and strong bonuses to mining and gas yield while staying surprisingly cheap and easy to acquire for new players. The drone bay of 10m3 isn't huge, but can hold 2 mining drones of choice. It's built in warp stabilizers make it somewhat safe against unprepared attackers, though it won't survive long against concentrated firepower. | There is a single T1 [[mining]] frigate, the Venture.

=Empire Faction Frigates= | |||
Each empire has two faction frigates: a combat faction frigate and an EWAR faction frigate. Empire faction frigates can be obtained through LP stores. | |||
=== Combat Faction Frigate === | |||
The combat faction frigates don't have a T1 counterpart and have bonuses to the factions main weapon system. | |||

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Republic Fleet Firetail]] | |||
=== Ewar Faction Frigate === | |||
The EWAR faction frigates are based on the empire's T1 EWAR frigate. They have an EWAR bonus corresponding to their empire paired with weapon bonus. Paired with changes base stats this makes them more viable as solo PvP ships compared to the T1 EWAR frigates. | |||

=Pirate Faction Frigates= | |||
Pirate faction frigates cover a wide range of specialisations. They all gain bonuses from two empire frigate skills. Their blueprint copies can drop from certain NPCs or be obtained through the factions LP. | |||
* {{icon|isis sisters|22}}[[Astero]]: A Sisters of Eve exploration frigate and the lowest skill requirement for any ship able to use a Covert Ops Cloaking Device. | |||
* {{icon|isis blood raiders|22}}[[Cruor]]: Long range webs and powerful energy neuts | |||
* {{icon|isis serpentis|22}}[[Daredevil]]: Potentially very high DPS. | |||
* {{icon|isis angel|22}}[[Dramiel]]: High DPS and fantastic speed and agility help the Dramiel kill things and then get out of trouble; good solo or as a (very expensive) small-gang tackler. | |||
* {{icon|isis mordu|22}}[[Garmur]]: Very long range and high damage missiles while holding targets in place with long range warp disruptors | |||
* {{icon|isis sansha|22}}[[Succubus]] | |||
* {{icon|isis guristas|22}}[[Worm]]: Very like an Ishkur (see above) with an extra midslot and a potentially very large shield buffer tank. | |||
= Tech 2 Frigates = | = Tech 2 Frigates = | ||
Tech 2 ships are in general specialised versions of T1 ships. Tech 2 frigates are no exception in this regard. You need the frigate skill of the corresponding faction at five to fly a T2 frigate and of course its specialisation skill. This makes them significantly more skill intensive than T1 ships but if you choose only one hull you can still train into it reasonably fast. So, if you enjoy flying a certain T1 hull very much you might consider to train into the corresponding T2 hull. | |||

These are basically frigate-sized version of the combat [[Cruiser#Recon Ships|recon ships]], but their proportion of usefulness to cost varies from ship to ship. Each race's electronic attack frigate is based on the hull of that race's Tech 1 electronic warfare frigate. | These are basically frigate-sized version of the combat [[Cruiser#Recon Ships|recon ships]], but their proportion of usefulness to cost varies from ship to ship.

* {{icon|isis ore|22}}[[Prospect]]: The Prospect is a more or less straight upgrade from the Venture, and can fit a covert ops cloaking device, although it loses the small drone bay that the Venture had. It matches the Venture's [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas harvesting]] yield, but has a 10,000 m³ ore bay, making it the best ship in the game for gas harvesting. | * {{icon|isis ore|22}}[[Prospect]]: The Prospect is a more or less straight upgrade from the Venture, and can fit a covert ops cloaking device, although it loses the small drone bay that the Venture had.
