Minmatar - The Frigates

Saturday, December 9th, 2006

Minmatar ships favour shields and projectile weaponry; they also hold the fastest ships in the game. Pretty much the diametric opposite of their arch-nemsis race, the Amarr, the Minmatar have their strongest ties with the Gallente Federation. As such, some of their ships have drone bays as well. The biggest bonus for the Minmatar ships […]

Caldari - The Frigates

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

The thing to remember about the Caldari ships is that they love their missles. Their ships are also shield heavy and light on the armour. They favour keeping their opponents at range usually, so again Railguns are their prefered variant of Hybrid Weapon. The Caldari also seem to have more space set towards the utilisation […]
