In the 17th century, the term "Frigate" was used for any warship built for speed and maneuverability, but generally too small to stand in the line of battle, although early line-of-battle ships were frequently referred to as frigates when they were built for speed. In the 18th century, the term referred to ships which were usually as long as a ship-of-the-line and were square-rigged on all three masts (full rigged), but were faster and with lighter armament, used for patrolling. In the definition adopted by the British Admiralty, they were rated ships with heavier armament, carrying the guns upon a single continuous deck. Frigates did not carry any guns (or have any gunports) on their lower decks, even when the lower deck was often referred to as the "gun deck" in the Royal Navy (in the US Navy, it was usually called the "berth deck").

- The SSS Frigate is specifically designed for Pirate and Naval War games, so it's SPD compatible.
- Copiable and physically modifiable.
- Sails set is automatically worn when boarding the ship (just one set is used for both static and active modes).
- It is driven by the wind (it is based on the Flying Tako scripts by Kanker Greeacre).
- Turn speed depends on the ship speed, so kedge anchors were included.
- 37 hitpoints of structure strength.
- 2 camera settings for the captain.
- 2 camera settings for the crew (up to 5).
- Round Shot and Explosive Shot
- Iron angle is 38 degrees, and 45 degrees with square sails raised.

- It shows progressive damage.
- Includes ZuCS Combat System statistics.
- Lock/Unlock function.

If ye're looking for all the looks and feel of a tall ship but unwilling to give up the speed of a smaller ship this is the ship for ye. Her healthy 18 cannons all of which can be fired without a gunner make her a force to be reckoned with while she can still keep a steady 4+ knots. As far as tall ships go I'd recommend this to any Navy-man or pirate alike.
