My favorite frigate is also very underestimated and mostly known as a kiter. The Condor.
Personally I dont like frigate kiting though so from my starts in Eve I tried to find a way to make the brawl Condor work.
Eventually I found that because everyone thinks it is a kiter, it is quite easy to get close to people in it because they try the same. :D This allows for a lot of fun when you scram them and apply an energy neutralizer when they least expect it.
