Frigate health bug
Ok, I'm convinced this one really exists. If you sneak into the wing position of the frigate, you can kill it almost instantly. The pylon that the wing connects to the ship with is much like the wing of the Vulture, that is, it's highly vulnerable. Shoot it once or twice and ram it. You get a "Frigate destroyed [name]" message and the frigate explodes. You don't get the kill, but it kills you and explodes instantly.
Heh, cool. It's probably a goofed up collision damage calculation. I think it's widely held that collision damage in this game is, er, not exactly right.
New news: The docking bay is vulnerable too. Me and some others were just in there, and about 5 seconds of weapon fire destroyed the frigate. This was all with a grand total (inc all ships) of 4 gauss cannons. Does that add up to 650,000 dm? I doubt it... But leave it in. After all, getting into the docking bay or wing position will be darn near impossible once the thing moves, right?
Lets see here. SL pulls out a fuzzy math calculator.
4*1000=650000
The fuzzy math calculator has spoken!

I've also nuked the Frigate to near-death one time and right before I was about jump back to s5 to reload for my next run, I saw the Frigate blow up by itself. Cause? A nearby Fury bot accidentally issuing on to it. Funny? Yes. But a lot of money and time wasted.
