Hi. I am going to buy a merlin once I have frigate at level 3 and all the other skills. I am a caldari, by the way.
Anywho, I was wondering if slapping on autocannons and then the two missle launchers on the ship would be a good idea for pirateing/PvP. Someone as the minmatar race proclaimed in rookie channel that they did it with a frigate (starts with an H).
Any other tips I should know about?

your not gona kill anyone in a merlin in solo PvP and most will laugh if you try to pirate them, arguably the best tech 1 PvP frig is the Rifter (Minmatar). Also use 125mm rail guns on your Merlin as Caldari ships get bonouses to Hybrid Turrets, and 125s work particualry well.

It's quite possible to pvp, and pirate in a tech 1 frigate. I've done it in the past, sometimes even with some sucess

I beg to differ
a) haulers
b) other T1 frigs
c) PvE setup cruiser if you use blasters/rockets and can get under their guns
Just some examples

Agreed,
I do think also you need to be able to back up losses as well.No point in being able to head into low sec loose your Merlin and than it takes you a day or more to earn a new one in empire.Make your ships you fly 10% of your total net isk worth...than at least you have a chance to learn from your mistakes .

Get a gang together :)
Last night 4 3-day old noobs (ALT SQUAD???//) offered us a scrap, 2 incursus, a tristan, and a kessie...
We put up 2 Raptors, one of which they killed almost immediately, working together with NOS and scrams. After that i couldnt resist giving them some laser love...:)
We were so chuffed we gave them all their stuff back, with a promise of another t1 frig scrap.

Kind of off topic, but: How do frigates deal with drone carriers?

Mostly die... Drones are always a good counter vs frigates. If you're solo and trying to take on a Thorax in a Tech 1 Frigate. You will most likly lose. But that's where your experience and tactics comes into play.

while we're on the subject, for a Rifter, what caliber of autocannons are best?

200 if you can fit them with the rest of the gear @ your skill lvls.

Autocannons for the best damage over time (DoT). It will out damage any of the Arty weapons. However, the Arty guns do have a heavy punch with low tracking. Still decent in combat and people seem to stand by them for 1 pop volly. But if you get in range before you blow up. Autocannons shred everyone. Goes for all close range guns. More tactical to use though.
200's are a good choice. If you spend the time, get named 200 autocannons if you can't use tech2's. There not that much and very worth it.
