Overview
The Minotaur is a distinctly average missile frigate, and is not frequently employed. As with most Argon ships the Minotaur represents the base-line of comparison, in this case to other M7Ms.
Background
Sporting a large array of launchers, the Minotaur is a swift and powerful ship, excelling in 'hit and run' tactics.
Physical Characteristics
Combat
The Minotaur has no real weaknesses to exploit,but also no particular strengths to draw on other than being a missile frigate. Like all missile frigates, it fights by launching barrages of warheads at all targets in sensor range, keeping them from getting close enough to engage in a close-range fight that the Minotaur will likely lose.
Equipment
The Minotaur can fit the following missiles in its missile turrets:

Suggested Roles
As a M7M, the Minotaur is an effective long range artillery ship capable of destroying any opponent. Able to mount boarding pods the Minotaur can also be employed as a boarding ship. Unfortunately there is almost no reason to choose this ship over the Boron Kraken, which is significantly faster, has equivalent shielding and sports a larger cargo bay.
As any Missile frigate, the Minotaur, when fielded with a full complement of missiles, is an instant "I Win" button
