Light Frigates are a counter to [[Cruisers]] and [[Battlecruisers]].

			Capable of firing 11 [[Laser Cannons]] at once while not being able to use either Pulse Cannons or Heavy Turrets, Light Frigates are in a unique position to take advantage of Laser Cannons to supplement the high shield damage of phasers while punching above their weight in ability to deal hull damage. Historically, few Light Frigates have been built to take advantage of this.

	'''Light Frigates''' are a subclass of [[Frigates]] which occupy a unique niche, set apart from both similarly-sized [[Corvettes]] and larger [[Frigate\|Frigates]]. They are fast platforms that are large enough to use [[Starship Weapons\|phasers]], and usually have a front bridge to most effectively utilize their [[Starship Weapons\|Plasma Cannon]] primary weapons; however, they're smaller than their [[Attack Frigate]] and [[Heavy Frigate]] cousins and can thus dodge enemy capital ship attacks. Light frigates are primarily tuned to counter large capital ships like [[Destroyer\|Destroyers]], being able to conduct hit-and-runs to whittle down slower targets~~. Unlike most ship classes, they aren't particularly good at "punching down" to eliminate targets immediately smaller than themselves~~.
