Harrier Frigate/Builds

Overview
Congratulations on researching your first ship - the Tier 1 Harrier Frigate! As a rule of thumb, ship research should follow this order: frigate, cruiser, destroyer, battleship, then move on to the next tier.

This page will list a bunch of possible Harrier Frigate builds to give you some ideas on how to construct a ship that is both useful and efficient.

Like those of other Tier 1 ships, most builds listed here have around 300 combined defense points (health + shields) at the cost of the ship's Combat Strength, because having a repair time of 5 minutes or shorter allows you to repair the ship instantly without having to use Coins. This enables you to spam them indefinitely until you run out of Helium-3 or Antimatter and thus become unable to continue repairing, which is in most cases more valuable than being effective in combat.

It is highly recommended that you upgrade the Harrier Frigate to Mk II because the extra special slot allows you to equip thrusters, which frigates often rely on to win battles.
