frigates should be pretty effective ships to be honest, they are small, should have a pretty small radar cross section from the front, they are reasonably well armed as well. the best thing about frigates though, they are tactically flexible, quick and inexpensive to produce, their crews will be much smaller than larger ships reducing potential casualties, remember the UNSC cannot prevail in space. the only way the UNSC can win vs. covenant in space is with super MAC platforms, or serious outnumbering, they haven't really went on any offensives so offensively orientated capital ships are pretty much pointless for what the UNSC want, rapid deployement of ground forces usually, scouting enemy fleet movements and defending the orbital defence platforms, frigates are pretty decent at all of the above, plus they carry pretty decent anti-single ship weaponary, shiva missiles and orbital drop shock troopers.
