Monitors

Monitors are small spacecraft between the sizes of corvette and frigate. They are a sub-class of frigates, and make cheap system-defence spacecraft. With their small size offering the advantages of high acceleration and good maneuverability, and their huge weapons giving them great firepower, they can be a bane to even battlecruisers. However, they are individually very weak, being no match for even a frigate one-on-one. The penalty for being able to strike outside their class range is less armour and shielding, and a longer build time.
