Starmaster

"' Heavy artillery frigate. It has two slots for missiles and only one for the gun. Also, there are small hull guns. It is recommended to bombard targets using missiles and keep them at a distance. '"

Description
The Starmaster is a frigate class ship available from the start of the game. It has superior missile firepower to both the Predator and the Hammerhead with two missile slots, but is outclassed by the Raider's three. Because of this strength, it is often used at missile range (between 4 km & 5 km). It does, however, have a single turret slot, allowing it to defend itself while reloading missiles.

The Starmaster is best used as a support vessel at lower levels, keeping within the 4-5 km range where missiles can hit but guns cannot. It should not be used as a front line ship, as the Hammerhead outmatches it in missile-based firepower and it has no advantage against the Predator.

The Starmaster can equip one turret, two missiles, and an energy shield.
