Assault ships (commonly called "Assault Frigates" or "AFs" to distinguish them from [[Cruiser#Heavy Assault Ships|HACs]]) | Assault ships (commonly called "Assault Frigates" or "AFs" to distinguish them from [[Cruiser#Heavy Assault Ships|HACs]]) have good tanks and usually high DPS. If you get tackled by an assault ship, you're generally not going anywhere: they're a pain to get rid of when properly fitted. Their disadvantage compared to interceptors is that they're slower, and often sacrifice their MWD and fit an afterburner instead to survive longer after tackling a target. Some assault ships make decent tacklers, and they can provide decent damage in a fleet of small ships. If the fleet has larger damage-dealing ships assault ships can lack a role, though they may still be a good defence against other small targets. | ||
In PvE assault ships can take on missions and combat sites which would normally be too difficult for a frigate-sized ship. | In PvE assault ships can take on missions and combat sites which would normally be too difficult for a frigate-sized ship. | ||
