Yeah, it's a pity the Frigate is such a difficult platform to master, because it's the one i think most people want to try ASAP and then possibly get all tied up. I know I felt the same way and couldn't nut out the plot.
I even part-made a FFG tutorial that introduced getting under way, launching and retrieving helos and then attacking targets with the main gun and other armament.
And for the MH-60 tut I did this AAR at SimHQ you might be interested in.
