Alright, having gotten over my kestrel mania and been popped ludicruous amount of times I've come to the conclusion the next frigate size I'm flying is gonna be a SB. Just 'cuz they do what I want better than 4 standard launcher kestrel!
Having turned my eyes to more brighter ventures, training projectiles and minmatar ships has became a hobby of mine. And then my needs to shield tank (coming from caldari ancestral roots) want to meet my needs for pew pew ganking of silly npc cruisers/ratting in low/nullsec.
I just cant wrap my head around this armour tanking business, it feels so counterintuitive to not use your single naturally recharging tanking stat as anything more than a buffer!
Without further ado or explanations...

Cruising around 600 m/s, all resists in shield 50~%, defence 48, shield effective hp 18k, waaay cap stable and 440 dps. If I know the mish will be throwing lots of frigates on me, downgrading the guns to 220 or even 180 is an option.
Workable or not?

I have never seen a case when those are worth it. WouldnÆt x3 Purgers give you far more tank? Not only far more tank but far more tank at all 4 reistanceÆs? Not done the math to confirm. Same for the damage control normally one shield power relay T2 would give far more tank.

I'd worry about the signature radius increase but only for a few missions where I recall being missile-spammed and webbed. That Purger suggestion does sound better.

Alright, having done the necessary adjustments (tho it got a tad more expensive now, not sure am I comfortable at losing it!) I cranked up the defense to 80 but it did leave a huge hole in EM. Still, more tank and didnt lose any gank for it, nifty. For blob pvp I'd still change the afterburner to MWD and switch the shield relay back to damage control, its still workable assuming someone is there to tackle.
Signature is 200, granted thats more than I'd bargain for, but shouldnt prove hazardous; yet.

Well the reason I and others toss shield resist rigs on everything is because they are super cheap at 2~5 mil per rig and can really boost a shield tank plus free up a mid or two on a t1 mission or ratting ship. I love the little buggers and even have then installed on my shield tanking frigs and destroyers as they would go rigless otherwise. Hell a cheap pvp tackling frigate can use two explosive and one thermal rig to really beef up the time on target vs warriors and hobgoblins especially if you can fit a small or medium extender to it. Damn useful rig tbh.

Since we are talking silly here. I was thinking about how to shield tank a rupture and I was thinking of the 2 LSE and 1 invul. Then if u really wanna go silly you can check purger/extender even though purger is probably better. Regarding the speed to close distance decent drone skills sends drones 40km+. Which actually leads me to some more sillyness, 3 LSEs and 3 purgers:D Would it fit? No idea. Granted, this is all with artillery as getting in range would be tough.
