"Homeworld 2 Remastered" Hiigaran Frigate Class Ships

Navigation: Homeworld 2 > Hiigarans > Frigates

Even stronger than corvettes are the Hiigaran Frigate Class vessels. Unlike Corvettes and Fighters that are built in small squadrons, Frigates are constructed one at a time. Frigates will often form the backbone of any major assault fleet as various frigates can be used to combat smaller and faster ships or threaten the powerful Capital Class ships. From the powerful Ion Beam Frigate to the Flak and Torpedo Frigates, these ships are not to be underestimated.

Frigate Facility

The Hiigaran Frigate Facility, installed on the Mothership (Center)
Source: Homeworld 2 Remastered

The Hiigaran Frigate Facility is the production subsystem required to produce frigates from the vessel with which it is attached to. Like all subsystems, it can be targeted by enemies and destroyed in order to cease production of Frigates. All frigates it produces come out as single units, as no ships of this class are formed into wings or squads. In addition, Frigates cannot re-dock to a production vessel for repairs, forcing to rely on Resource Collectors or their own damage control systems to repair any damage dealt. These facilities are also the largest type of production module that can be attached to Carriers.
