The
Heavy Missile Frigate should not be underestimated as a
serious threat to any enemy of the Eastern Fringe. Firing
two heavy fusion missiles from its enormous bay, the Heavy
Missile Frigate can wipe out enemy Frigate lines and, in
sufficient numbers, take down Carriers and Destroyers.
Glimpsed
in the pre-E3 GameSpot video, this is a different variant of
the frigate hull. It has a larger "chin" structure
and a red stripe across the top of the bow. It appears to
have the same topside vertical missile launcher that the
other frigate types have.
The
IGN E3 video appeared to give a glimpse of missile trails
coming from the bow; the RelicNews E3 video now clearly
shows missiles being fired from a compartment under the bow;
the rollover appears to read "Heavy Missile
Frigate."
