'''Frigates''' are the smallest and fastest ships in EVE. New pilots begin by flying frigates, and the Tech 1 frigates only cost a few hundred thousand ISK. Don't be fooled by the low cost of frigates and the fact that they're used by novice pilots, though: frigates can play an important role in battle, and in numbers or with skilled pilots even Tech 1 frigates can be deadly. | '''Frigates''' are the smallest and fastest ships in EVE.

Geared toward [[exploration]] and scanning, the 'Exploration' class of T1 Frigates all have bonuses to aid in scanning and hacking. Fitted with a Core Probe launcher, they can make a good cheap alternative to the Tech 2 [[Covert Ops]] variants. All can field a few drones, but are by no means combat worthy. | Geared toward [[exploration]] and scanning, the 'Exploration' class of T1 Frigates all have bonuses to aid in scanning and hacking.

* {{Sh|Heron|}}: Five mid slots means it can use several scan boosting modules, giving it the highest potential scanning strength. Can alternatively be hilariously effective at surprising opponents by being fit for combat. | * {{Sh|Heron|22}}: Five mid slots means it can use several scan boosting modules, giving it the highest potential scanning strength.

* {{Sh|Imicus|22}}: The slowest exploration ship, but with an extra combat drone and the best slot layout for both scanning and survival. However, its effectiveness as a scout comes at the price of its ''questionable'' visual design. | * {{Sh|Imicus|22}}: The slowest exploration ship, but with an extra combat drone and the best slot layout for both scanning and survival.
