=== Mining Frigate ===

There is a single T1 [[mining]] frigate, the '''Venture'''. It possesses a large mining 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 or defensive combat drones of choice. Its built-in +2 bonus to warp core strength makes it somewhat safe against unprepared attackers, though it won't survive long against concentrated firepower, and it is not allowed to enter complexes in [[Faction warfare]].

Line 177:

* {{Sh|Retribution}}: Uses lasers. High DPS and long range, however (like the Punisher on which it is based) it has only two mid slots, precluding the prop/scram/web trinity.

* {{Sh|Enyo}}: Uses hybrid turrets. Commonly fit with blasters for face-melting point-blank DPS.

* {{Sh|Ishkur}}: Drone boat supported by hybrid turrets. Weak damage bonuses but ~~50m3~~ drone bay allowing for a full backup flight.

* {{Sh|Ishkur}}: Drone boat supported by hybrid turrets. Weak damage bonuses but 50{{m3}} drone bay allowing for a full backup flight.

* {{Sh|Wolf}}: Uses projectile turrets for high DPS. Fastest assault frigate. Only two mid slots, so commonly armor tanked.

=== Expedition Frigates ===

Expedition frigates are resource gathering ships designed to operate in more hostile environments than larger mining ships. They have bonuses to fitting cloaking devices, and generally are specialized towards one type of resource gathering.

* {{Sh|Endurance}}: The Endurance specializes in [[ice harvesting]] on a frigate scale. It has a 19,000 m³ mining hold, 15 MBit/~~Sec~~ drone bandwidth, and bonuses to cloaking device fitting and usage, although it cannot fit a covert ops cloaking device.

* {{Sh|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 harvesting|gas harvesting]] yield, but has a 12,500 m³ mining hold, making it the best ship in the game for gas harvesting.
