The speed of your fleet in a fleet engagement is always that of your slowest ship, so difference in speed doesn't really matter.

If you're going for a frigate fleet, bring 1 or 2 carronade frigates. Put them in the part of the line that is safest, perhaps the 2nd or 3rd ship in the line (this is depending on your tactics). If you're gonna build rocket frigates as well, keep them in a separate formation from the rest of your fleet and always have your main line in between them and the enemy.

Do you have USS Constitution? Best frigate in the game by far IMO.
I bought the Special addition version from Play.com with the USS Constitution. I have registered the game and the extra unit but I can't seem to get it as it doesn't appear on the ship lists for the USA in the quick battle page - any ideas how I can get it?
