Frigate

The frigate (FF) is a small and cheap multi-purpose hull very similar in design to the scout hull. Able to pose a sizable military threat early on because of shield stacking, it is also commonly used for a myriad of other applications.

It is not uncommon to see frigates as a more beefed up chaff as well as a scout ship using maneuvering jets or overthrusters to full potential to reach a maximum battle speed so they can escape from battle without being destroyed. It is also the mine layer hull of choice of most players.
