Can a normal Merlin be an effective PvP ship?
Having spent alot of time on the skills neccesary to get a Ferox and on various support skills, getting the neccesary skills for an elite frigate right now would take over a month of straight training.
Now I know that a T1 frig will never be close to as good as a T2, but my question is: can the T1 frigate (if equipped properly with all the needed bits like a MWD and NOSes) be effective against larger ships like Cruisers and Battleships?
I put together a couple builds in QuickFit, but even with a cheap T1 Merlin, once the equipment is all bought were looking at a multimillion ISK cost if the ship is lost (which insurance wont even scratch). So before I go and drop all this money, what do you guys think?

Merlin is a great T1 pvp ship especially since it now has 4 mid slots. It is a load of fun! and effective.

you prolly can put a merlin together which is like:
mwd + 3 scramblers/webs and 1-2 disruptors
highslots would be like 3 small nos, 1 125mm autocannon carn lead (no cap and lowest pg) and 2 nanos/caprelays or a mix of both. Orbit at 5km (will put you at 5.3 out of normal smartie range)
fits all with engineering 5 and eletronics 2.
Cost is prolly shipcost + 250k or sth and makes an okaish tackler (6 points ftw)
