Gladius Frigate?

[szalmalacko]

I already did the mission, and several days passed, but I still can't use the frigate. How does it unlock?

it should be in the upcoming event tab, with something like "name_of_frigate" cleansed or something like that.

Thank you.

So I have the frigate, but all it does is follow me. Would be nice to use this thing. Any idea how?

It is escort frigate after all.

I get that, but if the point of it is to split your forces and do multiple planets at once, it'd be nice to actually do that... It hasn't helped any in ship to ship combat. I mean, its nice it follows me around, but utterly useless unless there is some way to control it. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't find anything that says how to make it useful.

You need to use middle click to send the frigate to another planet. It's not exactly intuitive and the tooltip appears only once.

The toolltip only tells you about how you can send the Frigate to different planets with middle mouse button. And that is only usefull to gather Archeotech, meaning not usefull at all, becasue you will be swimming in it after some time.
To send it on a combat mission - you need to choose a planet with a mission like normal, and and press Send Frigate button at the bottom. You choose whom to send there and hope that they will win and not take too much injuries.
Do note that Frigate needs Geller Field upgrade to pass through Warp storms, or it will return after bumping onto it. It also has it's own speed, so it may not be able to reach some missions in time.
Also i wonder how it interacts with enemy ships? I have no idea. But a single escort class is no match to even a light cruiser. Escorts are usualy used in squadrons of 2-4 to begin with in a fleet formation.

Thank you. I must have missed the tool tip. I tried to find a way to send to planets and missions but all I ever saw was 'out of range' even if it was two planets away, so I had no idea if that would send it. But that is very helpful. Thank you.

Im not yet unlocked frigate, but can you tell does Baleful Edict geller field affect frigate too or does frigate have their own systems and uses servitors? Im planning little ahead how to use my few servitors.

[Harukage]

Frigate only has 1 upgrade - +20% speed. Baleful Edicts Geller field upgrade also somehow affects your Frigate, even though nothing tells you about it. That is all.

how do you upgrade the frigate? I found out how to send it on missions but don't see an upgrade option.
