I haven’t found many Operation Frostline sites. I’m not sure if they spawn less frequently than the Blood Raider Gauntlets sites, or if I have just been particularly unlucky.
For the Blood Raider sites I used a Zealot Heavy Assault Cruiser ( here ), which worked well in clearing the sites quickly and gave me an edge over Drone boats in beating them to the final killing shot / loot drop.
For this new event I put together a Legion version of my Zealot.

This provides 31.4K vs 18K EHP, 390 vs 184dps Tank, and 525 vs 415dps. The range of its guns is lower, but they track a little better. It felt like it cleared the sites from first shot to final shot in about 5 minutes, which the logs backed up.

The zealot was similar, although there were less ships to shoot. I’m not sure I need the Web, and I should change from AB to MWD. So far it is a fun little ship to use for this particular purpose.
Beginning to wonder if it is the first ship that damages the BC is the one that gets the can. I alpha the cruisers and BC, and haven’t won a contested one yet…
Isn’t the Can the first in best dressed – so who ever reaches it first and loots it gets the contents?
Actually, I’m not sure. If I get the kill the can is white…. if not…
From the other comments I’d guess you’re talking highsec, since in other space we don’t really care whose can it is. 🙂
The impression I get is that the sites are being run as fast as they appear in high and low. If you want to find them then I’d recommend WH space, which means a ship that carries a probe scanner. A T3D seems to work well. You can find wormholes with a half-dozen sites to run – there was a Reddit post from a WHer of some ridiculous numbers of sites.
Of course, there is always a cloaky Proteus watching you while you run the site.
I was looking for a zergling 😦
I had to look up what a zergling was. Looks likes StarCraft’s version of head lice.
