|notes=*There is no tank on this fit, so beware of belt rats and prepare to warp off when they attack you. You can stay close to other mining ships with combat drones, they might help out and kill the rats. However if you really want a tank then switch the Expanded Cargohold I to Co-Processor I and fit a Small Shield Extender I and Civilian Shield Booster I into the mid slots.<br>

The Griffin is an [[EWar 101 Guide|Electronic Counter Measure]] frigate, often seen in Uni fleets offering [[EWar 101 Guide|Electronic Warfare]] support. ECM is touted as the most useful form of Electronic Warfare as it operates by breaking enemy target locks and preventing them from re-acquiring targets for 20 secs. This has the potential to greatly reduce the amount of damage being directed at your fleet, prevent enemies from using Remote Repair modules on each other or to break Warp Disruption, allowing an escape.

The Kestrel is the most commonly flown frigate in EVE, even beating the Rifter. This is due to its strong PvE capabilities with four standard launchers. It is perfect for Level 1 missions, static complexes up to DED 2 and can also complete virtually all of the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc. It can be comfortably flown with fairly low skills, primarily due to its ability to 'Range Tank'. ie; stay at sufficient range to eliminate or mitigate a great deal of incoming damage. Furthermore, missile systems make for ideal starter weapons as they do not require capacitor energy (so reducing the need for good capacitor skills) and their damage is not affected by such factors as tracking, optimal ranges and falloff. This greatly simplifies matters for a beginning pilot.

The Merlin is the most capable Caldari frigate for PvP, but still falls behind the Rifter in effectiveness. Its unique selling point is the possession of four midslots which allow Merlin tacklers to fit a Sensor Booster (with Scan Resolution script) without compromising a standard tackler setup. This is useful for quickly grabbing slippery targets such as enemy capsules.
