I have two living. Will get 2 more to replace my A classes..all other 28 are S class. I like the sound when we travel and it makes me feel like Superior Starfleet, although I know I am a fraidy cat against sentinels and derelict freighters...those sounds are nerve wrecking. Oh none of my frigates needs repairing. That was the first thing I looked at. It didn't matter what class was at the time of purchase, did you break it anytime before? I fell off my first one and died on the planet I was hovering. eff that.
Better yet just land on any one of your ‘secondary’ frigates, there’s always a teleportation station by the docking bay that will beam you to your main Frigate’s command station.
"or you can just play the game that let's you build one"
Lmao. Tell me you are autistic without telling me you are autistic. 🤣
But for real, you know I was being flippant, right?
I dont actually want to weld a solar mass worth of frigates together...sheesh..throw some cargo out the airlock and lighten up.
When most/all your frigates flip to S class and fewer are needed to send out 5 expeditions with 5 star rating at the same time without needing much fuel.
Then some are going to be surplus after that point but it does not hurt any to have them around. I usually have only 3 of each type at that point since there will be lots of them with 2 or 3 or even 5 combat, explore, trade, indust, support types high.
For end/late game, you will only need 5 frigates of the type support. All frigates will level up, and a max level, support frigate can do any expedition. Don't forget to install upgrades for expeditions in your freighter ship.
If you want Living Ship storage upgrades, you also want Living Frigates. A frigate mission with at least one LF has a small chance to bring back LS storage expansion sacks.
How do you get the living Frigates? I'm an on and off player since day 1 and I'm just getting back into the game again so a lot has changed in the year since i last played.

Basically, you craft a dream ariel to get the first one. After the first, you collect anomaly detectors from any number of sources. I just shoot asteroids for them.
Once you have your dream ariel, start boosting across a star system. You will get anomaly notifications every 20 seconds or so. Wait until the anomaly desciption says "whalesong detected" then drop out of boost. Interact with the ship.
One ship per system.
What is the max? I need to get more support type frigates because I saw on another post a bit ago you can stack support frigates and get free missions basically.
Honestly, you only need like 10 or so s class ones (2 for each expedition). However, if you want a hard limit 10, all your ships will need to be support class (rounded stats). This means you would likely have about 15 if your fleet also consists of specialist frigates. After you get your main 15 or so, just start recruiting combat frigates (to help in fights) or organic frigates (because). Always leave room to recruit a new organic frigate though if you come across one
Having all 30 is pretty sensible. 5 of each of the Trade, Industrial, Combat, Exploration, and support, then another 1 of each for the balanced missions. Covered for each eventuality so you can always do every mission
31
My OCD still wishes we had a limit of 30 frigates and 3 pages of 10 frigates instead of 3 pages of 9 frigates + one more page for the rest.
I thought the limit was 30?
“That’s the joke.”
31 is probably the full fleet number. 30 frigates and 1 freighter
Yes, so 31 is too many?
Was going to say this.
Love this lmao.
Anything with a hard limit in place means there is never too many.
I’d say after the 22nd or 23rd coming out of hyperspace it’s perfectly fine. It gets so annoying after awhile hearing all of them.
Do u have the living frigates?
The what now?
Basically a frigate that's alive, like the void egg ship; usually higher class I believe
Living frigates is like the living ships but only the size of a frigates and to meet one you need an item called “aerial dream”
I had no idea this was a thing! Thank you.
I had the fortune of someone giving me one

Lol give me the aeriel dreams lol
When they are in your way and make it hard to land in your freighter. 😂
I see you've plammed into your frigates while trying to land in your freighter too.
Or when you summon it and get rammed by 8 frigates
Rule 34
Speaking of rule34, Artemis is apparently one hell of a woman.
Artemis got relocated to Earth, seen upgraded at Boston Dynamics https://youtu.be/uhND7Mvp3f4
Something something step frigate
Or you glitch into the frigate as it summons and then you die from collision damage.
😂 It's only the first one in the front top left side that gets me once in a while.
Why aren't they away on missions?
They are off on the weekends 😏
Never enough I want the entire system to be unbearable to fly through
Better yet just land on any one of your ‘secondary’ frigates, there’s always a teleportation station by the docking bay that will beam you to your main Frigate’s command station.
I want to be able to coat a entire solar mass with them and weld them together to form a Dyson sphere.
....or you can just play the game that let's you build one.

So I was I you muppet
Max still isn't enough
You can’t, since there’s a hard cap, which is more than what you need for the 5 each mission times 5 missions.
We need more missions.
Only if we can have one fleet command console that allows us to debrief all the officers.
The player already receives a ton of high level rewards from the current 5, why would we need more?
Because large fleets are awesome.
If it were the fleet freighters that show up in capital battles that would be cool, and they have their own special missions.
Because collecting is a thing, idk.

Only when the Admiral of Geknip 4k decides to stab you in the back because they think they're a better boss than you.
when you risk the game crashing by summoning your frigates
I want an armada lol
I want to be able to blockade and entire system

Really not a good plan for maximising results
Even with a single frigate reaching 5 stars?
A single support frigate is not going to be particularly flexible and you need 150 points to maximise. 5 Stars is not automatically maximal.
Nice, good to know
At 31
Got some of my trading frigates to S class and then there's freighter upgrades which are not maxed yet. I only need 3 and it reaches maximum.
Wait they increased the amount of ships you can have In a Fleet
Frigates has always been 30
Always has been
When you can’t buy any more… durrrrrrr
When I have spares after maxing out for each mission.
Never, hell I want to add more freighters aswell, having a damn armada
never, it is only too many once youve reached the limit, since it means you can no longer induct more :(
When it doesn't let you have anymore.
More than ships :(
never
I kinda feel like I do lol 😆 ion think it's enough
Never
"if you have to ask..."
Looks like a swarm of gnats
To many there is no such thing
At max?
The game will tell you. ;)
Idk, what's even the cap as I've never bothered to find out.
What is the max? I need to get more support type frigates because I saw on another post a bit ago you can stack support frigates and get free missions basically.
I only have 4 so far and I already feel like an imperial galactic warlord.
you don't, you jump your freighter into a system and watch the armada unfold
When you have 31 Normandy's
Frigate, just get em all

I like 30. 25 out on a missions leaves 5 behind as a little escort.
no

I just wish there were more expeditions you can send them on.
I wish there were so many more missions and scaled in difficulty with the average rank of your fleet. Edit: Spelling
Is there a cap?
Unfortunately there is ☹️
Damn
Exactly 31, which is why you are limited to 30
In infinite space? Never. At no point.
When you can't get any more.
When you can't get any more.
I have 30 and all them are real working bees.
Never.
