Long Range frigates are one of the 9 Ship Classes, and come exclusively from the Empire and Jericho factions. Long Range frigates are designed to target enemies at a long distance, and also happen to have the weakest hull and shields in comparison to the other Frigate classes, however they still have more base Shield and/or Hull than any Interceptor or Fighter. They are also the only ship type in existence to get 6 weapon turrets, which in some cases can make their main weapon damage surpass that of even an equivalent-tier fighter Gunship in Overdrive mode.
