Additional Information

The bantam is probably one of the first "real" frigates a Caldari pilot will get to touch, and for the budding miner it offers a good set of bonuses that will let you harvest helpless veldspar asteroids. It does however suffer from an inability to really walk and chew gum; its feeble drone bay and poor midslot setup does not lend itself to either have a good tank or enough drone damage to be able to weather the field against anything more than the weakest of NPC rats. Still, for the cost it offers a good starting ledge to work from.
