Well it's a funny thing but the word Frigate has
meant different things thoughout history. FASA
uses it in it's ship of the line meaning to mean
a bigger than cruiser sized ship designed for battle
(actually a medium sized sailing war vessel) rather
than a 5000-7000 ton vessel between a destroyer 
and a cruiser. So, that part doesn't bother me. 
Task Force uses the second definition and even makes
them smaller than destroyers. The feds also like
to complicate things by trying to come up with 
names that don't sound hostile -- explorer, starship,
and the like.

I've got a few falcons, they're cute as buttons.
I'd buy a pile of defiants if they were available. 
I'm not sure exactly how big it SHOULD be, but
I'm guessing an inch to an inch & a half long?
Actually, if we go by that scene in First Contact
even 1 inch would be kind of big, but I wouldn't
make it much smaller.
