The Frigate only stops 3 dispensers from running when it moves. Further, the Scout, and the Frigate when low on fuel, can traverse a 150kt stargate safely. The Frigate and the Scout mine layer configurations are still the best general purpose ships for laying mines. They have good granularity, the Frigate has an excellent cost structure, and are multi-mission capable. Build Frigate Mine-Layers.
