Griffin

The Griffin is much used by the Caldari Navy as a support vessel in combat squadrons. Though designed with an impressive turret range, its defenses are rather weak, making it easy prey for traditional combat vessels.

Frigates are the smallest crewed hulls in EVE Echoes: cheap, fast and hard to hit, but thin once anything larger lands a volley. They are the standard choice for early missions, exploration and fleet tackle, where holding a target in place matters more than surviving a long fight.
