Probe Explorer

The Probe is large compared to most Minmatar Frigate Vessels and is considered a good scout ship and cargo-runner. Uncharacteristically for a Minmatar ship, its hard outer coating makes it difficult to destroy, while the limited weapon points force it to rely on drone assistance if engaged in combat. Based on capsuleer pilots' feedback, the Sebiestor Tribe optimized the ship's scanning system, greatly enhancing its overall exploration capabilities.

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.
