Sea of Stars Ship Reviews: Zorg Frigate

Among the many capital ships you can add to your flotilla in Sea of Stars, the Zorg Frigate is one of the more unusual options. For starters, its turret placement is geared more towards defense than other ships of a similar size. Specifically, it front turrets are positioned a considerable distance from the ship's centerline for wider coverage, while its third, smaller turret faces aft. As such, it is much more difficult to attack from behind than any other frigate. In fact, the locations of its turrets remind me of a scorpion - the front turrets act as the claws, while the rear turret acts like the sting in the scorpion's tail.

A Zorg Frigate fitted with high-end weapons and equipment - definitely a force to be reckoned with in any battle.

Like most frigates, it is heavily armored and has six equipment slots, allowing for a wide variety of customization options. However, its slow speed and turning are also typical of a frigate. The best way to use this ship is to keep it in the back of your formation, which can be beneficial when you expect to be ambushed from behind. In such situations it tends to be quite effective, but keep in mind that the aft turret cannot face forward, unlike the central front-mounted turrets found on most other frigates.

In short, the Zorg Frigate brings some much-needed variety to the frigate class, and is a formidable fighting machine in its own right. When used in combination with other ships that have better frontal weapons coverage, it can be almost unstoppable - especially when fitted with the Meson Lattice Shield so commonly used by high-ranking Zorg commanders.
