The Trident Light Frigate is the smallest of the capital class vessels. They are fairly slow-moving ships with heavy armour for their size. NPC Tridents are typically found in two configurations. In Hive and Border Skirmish missions they have four "small" turrets and a forward-facing cannon, and only four standard capital ship turrets in Escort Missions. A docking bay is located at the bottom back of this ship which provides access to repair/rearming facilities and turret control.

Player Construction

Construction is a long process involving harvesting materials from bots, mining or purchasing ores, purchasing materials npc materials, and finally building components. The entire process is a long one, aside from the massive amount of raw materials needed to build the components, there are also caps on how many components you can build in one day. One material harvested from bots is Synthetic SilkSteel (4cu), of which over 75,000 is required, may take hundreds/ thousands of hours to complete. For a more detailed list, see Trident Construction
