The Assault Frigate is a colossal multifunction assault ship.
Its powerful Ion Cannons make this ship a feared attack platform for defenses and ships.
However Its bulky size makes it a slow ship and slightly maneuverable which makes this ship an easy prey for the hordes of Light fighter.

Opinion from spanish Com:
During the poll realted to this sugg, most of the players considered it has a great idea and a nice ship.

everyone would think a new ship is a very good idea.

but balancing a new ship is aweful and doesn't help at all one ship will allways be te battleship/battlecruiser so the best you use in almost every situation.

At first glance I thought this looked pretty good, but the more I looked at it, the more flaws I found unfortunately.

First of all, this ship is crazy overpowered i m o. Not in shear attack strength, but in RF. It costs less than twice as much as a destroyer, it has close to double its attack strength and it pretty much has the destroyer and bomber RF combined, plus RF against a bunch more ships. RF against heavy fighter for instance is a really bad idea since the heavy fighter basically is worthless already. To make it an even worse ship is not a good idea. I also noticed that it has no RF from rips, which is completely crazy. This thing would completely slaughter rips, especially rips behind def.

The fuel consumption isn´t really that high considering that this ship replaces the destroyer and the bomber and on top of that is nearly twice as powerful as a destroyer. Not only that, the crystal and deu cost relative to the metal cost is way way too low. People would build this ship like crazy

Ogame needs a new ship like chess needs a new gane-piece. In other words, not at all. If anything, we should try to rebalance some of the already existing ships to make the heavy fighter actually useful and worth building.

Don´t get me wrong, this is a pretty good suggestion and I can see that alot of thought went into creating it. But it is i m o insanely overpowered.
