Strengths:

• Heavy Hitter: The Custos-class frigate is built for a variety of roles, including punching above its own weight class. A swarm of Custos-class frigates can easily prove to be a serious threat to much larger ships, taking and giving out far more punishment than the typical frigate can.

Weaknesses:

• Slow: In line with Azure Imperium fleet tradition, the Custos-class is heavily armed and armored, but painfully slow. It can easily be outrun and outmaneuvered by smaller ships.

Description: A venerable design that has served the Azure Imperium in some capacity for thousands of years, the Custos-class has been tweaked and altered consistently to keep it up to modern standards.

Just so you know, this appears to be one rating over what's typically considered to be balanced.

I've added the link, dropped down the hyperdrive, and switched production to minor.
