Frigate

Where is the frigate from the Tutorial

from GalCiv3 Forums

I am pretty new to GalCiv3. I played GalCiv1, but this is many years ago  :)

When I played the Tutorial, I had a 100 hitpoint frigate. But now I play my first game, I cant find it.

  • Do I have to construct it myself
  • Do I have to have certain technology

... or what?

I continuously get beaten up by f.... pirates

The tutorial does give you a frigate while sandbox only gives you a medium sized survey ship. But getting one isn't that hard. Research along the engineering lines and find the line that focuses on ship size. Medium (Frigate) is usually about the third hull size (tiny which you get from the start, small for first tech then medium).

Also, if you're willing to choose Malevolent as one of your Ideology options, you can get a free Frigate that's good enough to beat up most Pirates, though not quite good enough to take out their shipyards.

Basically, you really can't go Pirate hunting until around turn 30 or so, since before then you really need to be focusing on colonization.
