The frigate is a small and cheap multi-purpose hull. Able to pose a sizable threat early on because of shield stacking, it is also commonly seen to a myriad of other applications.
It is not uncommon to see frigates as a more beefed up chaff as well as scout ships 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.
