Try a Magnetic Field Stabaliser II in the last slot if you can. That setup looks very solid.

Because in my experience, an opponenet can use MWD and/or AB. Scrambler is for MWD and Webifier is for AB and keeping my opponenets at range. I usually orbit at 20km and shoot down with missiles and rails.
And thanks for the idea on the Hybrid turret booster , i'll try that!

"Scrambler is for MWD"
Excuse my ignorance here (Im a complete PvP nub in EVE) but does that mean that Scramblers prevent the use of MWDs?

MWD's are microwarpdrives, anywhere you can't warp you can't use an MWD. This includes deadspace and scramblers.
So yes.

In my experience warp scrambling does not prevent MWD use, thou webbing helps a bit.

MWD's are not affected by warp scramblers. The warp scramblers are to stop the person warping away, you would use the web for both AB's and MWD's, though the MWD will still allow the person to go a bit faster... however, they will continue to have the large sig radius penalty applied as well...

So yes.
Warp scramblers don't affect MWDs in any way. Deadpsace is aother matter, and you can warp out of deadspace.

Yarrr ebil ebil..
If u want to be able to flee put warpcore stabs in ur lows (don't know if ur cpu can handel that...
AS for setup...
2*rocket launchers (so u are able to deal all types of dmg) /2*small nos (u will need the nos to keep ur cap from draining very fast..)
shield booster (SB)/webb/scram(the 7.5 mk one)/afterburner(AB)
2*warpcore stab (this is ur get out of jail pass :D)
In this setup if u come acros anything with a dmg dealing capability u will die a horrible death (as u are young and don't have the skills to tank well), but it's good for lone miners.
basic tactic... charge like a mad man at ur target (preferably not in str8 line:P) with sb and ab going, once close scramble, webb and start orbiting it while nosing and sloooowly eating him with ur rockets.
I would advise against the 2 warp core stabs as the ship is quite cheap, and so it's expandable... 1bcu (ballistic control system) and 1 nanofiber would be better IMHO

Just be prepared to lose quite a couple of ships till you learn the ropes. And be weary of who you attack. You will die very quickly and swiftly if you engage targets you can't handle.

I've been having fun with this silly, unusual, and surprisingly effective PvE setup (warning!: not for use in .4 and below.)
Hislots: 2x small blasters, 2x rocket launchers
Midslots: 1x named AB, 1x named small shield booster, 2x passive shield hardeners.
lowslots: PDUs. 1x armour rep.
At Caldari frigate level 4 and above, you will quite happily blitz through any .5 system Guristas (don't know about the other rats) as they just won't be able to do enough damage to you to get past your shields.
This is not a PvP setup, and it's utterly pathetic against anything larger than a Guristast frigate, but it's a lot of fun if you want to actually enjoy rat farming for a bit.
If you were to swap out the passive shield hardeners for a stasis webifier and a warp scrambler, you'd have a pretty decent tackler going for you, too.

If you want more survivability put a Medium Shield Extender II on the Merlin. Over 1200 shield points on a frig is very nice.

I love my Merlin. Love it, love it, love it.
I usually outfit it with 2 rocket launchers, a 150mm railgun, and a 125mm rail gun. I have 2 shield extenders, a shield booster, an afterburner, and a signal enhancer.
The idea is, lock in at a distance, fire up the afterburner, and just rush directly at whatever you're attacking. If it's weaker than you, it dies real quick-like. I usually use it to blow up rats in the fields I mine. Does wonders.

From what i remember of my setup it went something like this:
Hi:- 2 x rocket launcher 2's 2x Nicest named blasters
Meds:- shield booster, AB , web and scram
Lows:- MAPC and a 200mm rolled tuungsten plate.

2x 125mm compressed coil railgun (thorium)
2x TE-2100 missile launcher (bloodclaw)
3x shield extender II
1x best tech I shield booster (forget the name)
2x power diagnostic unit I
this set up makes for nearly 1200 hp shields and great shield/cap recharge thanks to the pdu's. the booster gets you out of a tight spot and lets you outlast one hell of a beating. orbit at around 13km and plink away to your heart's content.

or instead of 3 small extenders you could put on a medium shield extender II for over 1200 shield points and still have some mid slots left open for other things...

My setup follow:
2X 150mm Gauss Railgun with Tungsten S (26km optimal)
2X Standard Launchers with Bloodclaw Light (18km)
2 Shield Extenders I (688 shield atm)
1 named Shield Booster
1 Explosion Dampener (boost EM resists to 60%+)
1 PDS
1 Reactor Control Unit (ran out of power grid)

My setup;
2x125mm compressed coil w/AM
2x malkuth standard launchers
1x Small SB II
1x Shield boost amp
1x Cold-Gas AB
1x small extender II
and 2x PDU, or 1 PDU and a MFS (cant remember which)
This setup has an awesome tank - you dont need any hardeners imo because of the bonuses you get with caldari frig 5. I think i get about ~700 shield with shield management 4 (can't check right now so i may be wrong).

heh, I've tried that before and it doesn't work that great. You drain half your cap in under 10 seconds. Stick with a small booster or use the extenders.

I said, replace the small extenders with a medium EXTENDER, not a booster.

Use your previous setup but ditch the shield booster and fit a 400mm rolled tungsten plate in the low. For your freed up mindslot I'd probably put another scrambler.

For pvp only, how well does the Merlin work with Blasters and the optimal bonus? I wouldn't use this for npcing due to the low speed. The bonus is very small, but it might keep an edge over or equal to another blaster frig like a Tristan.
Maybe throw on a tracking disruptor.
2x Neutron Blaster
2x rocket launcher
1x 1mn MWD
1x 7.5km scram
2x Tracking disruptors
2x PDU

This is my setup for ratting.
Hi - 2x blasters, 2x rockets.
Mid - T2 afterburner, T2 small shield boost, 2x T2 shield amplifiers (with compensation skills).
Low - 2x power diagnostics.
Fast enough, plenty of cap to keep the shields up, and plenty of resistance against damage. Also keeps nice and tight to the target. Just keep your eye on the ball and monitor your shields.

My three month old character's merlin. I use this for fun, and I can kill any npc in .1 (serpentis bc's). If you like this frig, I would suggest getting a worm, because that ship rules over all!
Hi- 2 Named Ion Blasters
1 decent rocket launcher
Small nosferatu
Med- MWD
Web
Small Shield Booster II
Small extendor (decent named)
Lows-PDS
MAPC
orbit at 1500 and blast away!
1) i would strip the small NOS and replace it with another rocket launcher. that small NOS does not give you any edge over your enemies.
2) i would strip the shield extender also and replace it with a) shield hardener of some kind, or b) CAP injector
in lows will be MAPC and something other.

I guess my question is I have the following setup and I can't even use all my equipment because I run out of power.
2 125mm standard Rail Guns
2 Standard Missle launchers (1 with FoF missiles 1 with fireclaws)
1 small Shield ext
1 small shield booster
1 1Min AB
I currently have 1 rail gun offline because I am out of power, my engineering should be level III today when I log in, power grid is level 1. How can I get more power out of my Merlin to be able to support all the available slots? BTW this is my 3rd day, just got the Merlin last night after my Condor was blown out from under me then I was POD killed lol in .4 Space.

Well, I have 3 days of skills only (about 58,000 sp) and geared towards pvp, to date my record is 15 kills - 2 losses (those two losses were my first two tries), so this setup works very well.
Hi: 2 x blasters, 2 x rockets
Med: Jammer, Web, Scrambler, Cap Booster
Lo: Arm Rep, Power Diag Upgrade
The only prob is getting in range, but once there u will eat through just about all frigates, and most cruisers. You just gotta make sure u target em first and Jam immediately.
Have Fun!

You need to skill up for Micro Auxilliary Power Core, it adds 10+ power grid. Until that time, try a pair of power diagnostics in the low slots to see if that gives enough power for the guns. If that doesn't work, try Reactor Control units, but get your MAPC asap and don't use RCU if at all possible.

There has been a lot of talk about different configurations based on npc versus pvp. Different tips on tactics and limitations applied to some configurations, like don't use this in space rated below 0.4. I would like to know what is going to allow me to survive in the most dangerous space possible with what this ship can equip. The best equip that states the limitation, Page 2, Entry 36, was good all the way up to 0.1 space. Anybody have anything better or any improvements? I'm interested in NPC hunting only, pvp doesn't even matter at the moment.

Reading through this topic, ive put together a setup for my own future Merlin. This is a PVP setup designed for lone fighting or small gangs. Can anyone give me the low down on what would be wrong with this setup and equally how this setup would work in combat.
Hi: 2x 125mm rails, 2x Rocket Launchers
Med: Webber, Scrambler, S Shield Booster, Medium Shield Extender
Low: MAPC, Damage mod.
Range would be quite short, the only problem I can see with this is being able to get within range of my target. Would it be worth fitting an AB or a MWD? and if so, what should I sacrifice?
Thanks in advance

This should work for PvP, MWD to close range and double nos will help break their tank:

1x Small Shield Booster
2x PDS
The NOS don't really do anything to the target ship, but they let you orbit at 1200-1500M all day long without loosing your cap. (Don't think I went below 65% cap with everything on.) Nice tackler, but by no means a damage dealer. It's to lock down a ship for someone else to get a killmail.
Some people like named items. I like that this setup can be done for less than 400K ISK with the cost of the ship included.

I use my merlin in various configurations, I frequently change it to suit the mission but this is the setup I use for low sec angel ratting:
High: 2x125mm gauss (tungsten, uranium and antimatter and 2xmalkuth standard launchers (all types of missiles)
Med: named stasis webifier, shield extender II and named kin and explosive active hardeners.
Low: Pdu I and a Linear Flux Stabilizer (I intend to upgrade to Mag stab II)
This setup works very well, the webber is to keep ab/mwd using angels at range and works like a charm. It probably works against other pirate factions with minor modifications like swapping out the kin and explosive hardeners for hardeners against the main damage types of the faction. I've engaged angel bc's (legionaries to be exact) on several occasions but it turned into stalemate, my tank and cap easily held but unfortunaly so did theirs. Didn't discover why until I was deciding what skill to train next and saw that small hybrid turret was at lvl 2 and total sp in missiles was around 7k. I've since remedied that but haven't gone npcing since. As for pvp this setup would probably the ripped apart. But then again if someone warps into a belt and starts locking me I hit the autopilot button right away.

What about a passive shield tank merlin?
high: your prefference
Mid: 1mn MWD, 2x shield recharger t1 or t2 if you are bold, 7.5k scram
Low: 2x sheild flux coil
or perhaps a shield resistance tank
High: same as before
mid: 1mn mwd, heat disipation amp 1, magnetic scattering amp 1, shield booster
Low: damage control unit II x2
this setup, mixed with Em Shield Compensation skill at lvl 4 and caldari frigates at 5, gives you over 100 shield resistance to all damage types besides kinetic, which sits at a healthy ninty, if everything works the way I think it does. I have, however, never run a shield tanking setup, so i'm not sure how everything works. Any thoughts comments or suggestions let me know.

For pvp I would dump the shield booster, if youre getting hit its not likely to help much, for mids I'd suggest using,
MWD, web, scrambler and a ECM of some description, probably a multi.

Yarrr ebil ebil..
If u want to be able to flee put warpcore stabs in ur lows (don't know if ur cpu can handel that...
AS for setup...
2*rocket launchers (so u are able to deal all types of dmg) /2*small nos (u will need the nos to keep ur cap from draining very fast..)
shield booster (SB)/webb/scram(the 7.5 mk one)/afterburner(AB)
2*warpcore stab (this is ur get out of jail pass :D)
...
Don't listen to him :P BE EBIL!!!!!!!
I know its an old post, but my setup is almost exactly the
same, and I tell you, the best setup for PvE in my experience.
Could easily take on any L2 missions if you have close-combat
training, and if you got yourself into some trouble, just warp
away and take a few deep breaths... :)
Happy to see that somebody else found this setup useful.
Good job!

2x 125mm Carbide Railguns
2x Malkuth Missile Launchers

1x named AB
1x named Warp Scrambler
1x Webifier
1x Shield Booster
Low:

last i don't know what to fit in...
Just curious, how would you pilot a setup like this? Normally when I fly the Merlin I use 2 Neutron Blasters in place of the 125m's with everything else the same. In most cases I fly as part of a fleet so my job is to scramble and avoid getting hit, especially against cruisers and Battle Cruiser so I get in close orbit fast, web, scram and shoot.

1. Resistance stacks, 20 % res + 30% res =/= 50% res
2. Theres no damage control IIs
3. You can't fit more than one damage control

I love this ship :-) but I would go for 4 turret slots if possible :-)
high: 2x 125mm rail, 2x standard launcher
med: ab, 2x passive hard (em&thermal), small neutron sb
low: tracking enhancer, pds
ther are 3 alternatives with this ship:
1. close range, blasters, rocket l;aunchers
2. long range, 150mm rails, standard launchers
3. mixed range, 125mm rails and standard or rocket launchers
I prefer number 3, I always keep 125mm rails and change rockets for light missiles as needed.
PvP I would go ecm mid, armor tank in low

This has been an interesting thread, but I have a different view point on the high slots than most others.
I run rat missions - but I think the change to PvP would change middle and lo slots rather than the high. This is a naive opinion at the moment but it is the best I can offer.
I equip 2 missle launchers (best i can afford) and 2 blasters(best I can afford). The reason is that to be totally short range (ie rockets rather than missles) puts me at a disadvantage against a group. With missles I can stand-off and kite the group to wear it down. If I get close in a furball I may be able to get under the guns of a single target but that is little consolation if six of his cronies are orbiting us at their optimal range and ripping me a new one. Also If the situation calls for a blood-curdling charge to close range I start doing damage from 19km (with more skills then from even further out) all the way in. Unlike long rails, missles are still pretty useful down to rather short range (at least 3km maybe less).
I use lo slots for reactor controllers to bump the grid by 20%. In the mid an AB is a necessity. For now I also add a shield booster, a shield extender and a cap booster, though ECM will be something I explore as my skills allow.
BTW I also carry an armor repper and a hull repper in the hold. If I have to bounce away to repair I can pop into a station- fit the reppers, undock, repair, redock and refit the combat gear. This is not a big source of savings on a merlin but I has saved me multiple rounds of 400k repairs on my Rax.
(To avoid confusion, my Merlin is run by my Caldari character while my Gallente rides a 'Rax and a Tris - the Tris has a the same high slot configuration for the same reasons).

I just tested out 2 150mm rails along with 2 rocket launchers and this setup does good damage. This setup abuses ships from 7500 or greater.
I used a web to slow the ships down so that the 150 rails don'e have a huge problem tracking. My turret skills aren't that great.

One shield booster
One Webber
One Signal dampener
One After Burner
One Power diagnostics Unt
One Basic Damage control
Have never used in PvP (or done PvP), but what i was thinking is use the damper do draw them close, web them. and just pound. Wanna try it PvP however. So any critisms would be nice

Only issue is that you do not have a warp scrambler to keep you're target where they are... No use dampning, webbing them if they can run away at the first sign of trouble.

or instead of 3 small extenders you could put on a medium shield extender II for over 1200 shield points and still have some mid slots left open for other things...
well lets see the lowest medium shield extender takes up 28 MW, so hmm...we would have 7 MW left for weapons..hurray!

thats why you fit MAPCs which give you an extra 12.5 grid...
I dunno I always found the merlin to suck compared to other frigs... mainly because of its terrible DPS. I can pump out over 100dps in a punisher, gluck doing that in a merlin...
BTW you have 43.75grid with engineering V on a merlin.

2 x limos or malkuth rockets
1 x small nos (i use a knave)
1 x shield booster II
1 x medium sheild extender
1 x invun field
1 x warp scram (2 pts)
1 x power diag
1 x Power generator
fitting a medium extender might sound strange but once your in range its got a nice tank, the inv field gives a nice overall resist to everything and the NOS keeps your cap going. This should do well against other close range frig setups. you get over 1100 in sheilds :)

I'm not going to check to see if it fits, but try this:
2x 125mm rail
2x standard missile
1x afterburner
1x small shield booster
2x shield resistance amplifier (what kind depends on the rats you're fighting)
1x magnetic field stabilizer
1x misc (co-processor i if you're short on CPU, reactor control unit if you're short on powergrid, micro auxillary power core if you're really short on powergrid, a ballistic control unit or a second magnetic field stabilizer if you have enough CPU and grid, or a nanofiber if you have enough grid and CPU for all the other stuff, but not enough CPU for another damage mod)

I used railguns and rockets on my first Merlin, but once it was destroyed I switched to 2 x 250mm Artillery and 2 x Missle launchers in the high slots.
This was a great combo and earned me a lot of money real quick on agent missions, and hunting pirates in 0.4 and up. I am surprised no one else here has even mentioned Artillery.

Well that setup is completely useless for you have no means of doing good damage.
There is no tank on it whatsoever.
Lows are crap and add nothing to either the offensive or defensive aspects of the ships.
Simply put, its crap setup.

Gatecamping without a bubble: orbit the gate at 1km, then everything that jumps in is within range of your 20k scram, and you can lock shuttles and pods before they have time to enter warp. The lack of tank or damage output doesn't matter much, few things will have time to lock you back and do signifigant damage before the rest of your gatecamp kills them.

My merlin setup for 0.4 ratting and lvl 2 missions, this is able to tank cruisers relativley well and with some decent skills can be an excelent mission runner except for some of the harder lvl 2's.
Hi: 2x te2100 standard missle launchers 2x 125mm rail guns (replace with named if possilbe)
Med: 1x Small Shield Booster II, 1x Heat Dissipation Amplifier I, 1x Magnetic Scattering Amplifier I, 1x Small Brief Capacitor Overcharge I (cap booster 50 charges)
Low: 1x Nanomechanical CPU Enhancer I, 1x Ballistic Control System I
i find this a very efective setup for missions and low sec ratting.

Hmmm, didn't see a build like the one I use, so figure I'll post it. I don't PVP, mainly ratting/missions at this time, so I leave the more pvp based aspects out of it.
Highs
2X Malkuth's (Carry a variety of ammo's, including FOF incase I'm up against annoying jammers)
2X 75mm Scout Cannons
Mids
1X Cold-Gas Arcjet Thruster
1X V-M15 Braced Multispectral Shield Matrix
The other two get swapped depending on target. Usually pick 2 from the following
1X M51 Iterative Shield Regen
1X Anointed EM Ward Reinforcement
1X Dritrigonal Thermal Barrier
1X Non-Inertial Ballistic Screen
1X Explosive Dampening Field
If I'm up against targets with limited damage type capabilities I tend to use the Shield Regen and the specific shield hardener for their weapons. If I'm up against multi-damage types, I'll drop the shield regen and go with 2 specific shield hardeners.
Lows
2X Type-D Power Core Modification: Diagnostic systems.
With the skills set I have(for a newbie) I find I can just about permenantly run the AB and 3X shield hardeners

These are my pvp merlin setups.
Hi : 2x rockets 2x modal ion blasters
Mid : 1x MWD 1x Med shield extender 1x Warp Scram 1x small shield booster
Low : 2x MAPC
I use this in gangs. 1300+ shields. With cal frig 5 i get 25% EM resist 40(somthing)% kinetic 50(somthing)% thermal 60+(somthing)% explosive. Sometimes drop the scram for a passive EM resist if the gang has enough points.
Solo i use this.
Hi : 1x nos 2x modal neutron blasters 1x rocket
Mid : 1x Mwd 1x small shield extender 1x warp scram 1x small shield booster
Low : 1x MAPC 1x Dmg Control
Very similar to the above setup. 700+ shields. Dammage isnt as good as the original but in prolonged fights you need the nos to sustain the booster.

for PvP i would use :
2x 125mm AC (T2 if you can)
2x rocket (T2 if you can)
1x AB (named , T2 won't fit)
1x Web
1x Scram (7.5 km)
1x Medium Extender (named, T2 won't fit)
2x SPR I
this would give you about 1500 shields i think, can't check merlins shield amount at work because item database is not up to date. with 2 SPR I and shield operation at 4 that gives up 320 s recharge time and a passive regen of a bit les than 12/s wich is a small SB running constantly, without sacrificing a weapon for a nos. if you rig the ship with shield regen rigs that wouls take the recharge time down to 163.84s giving you a bit less than 24/s recharge, so 2 shield boosters running, try to manage that especially with 1 mid slot
so the primary defence is passive shield regen with the shield res from frigate skill. Now when you try to fit this you will notice you'll need engineering 5 and shield uppgrades 5 for the power grid to be enough, so those of you that don't have those maby switch the ab for an em passive hardener.
Oh and for those of you that start saying but those are AC:s, i would not fit AC:s if the ship had damage to hybrids, but liek this you only loose some range boosts wich is not such a big loss TBH, and you think you can fit 2 blasters for 6 CPU and 2 MW
now those of you that have read some of my few previous posts have maby noticed i like passive builds, there are 2 main reasons for this: 1) nos, every one uses them - well i don't, i refuce to and even if him nossing my cap ends my scram it will never break my tank 2) well you are "lag immune" that is even if you lag you'll still be regening like nothing happened, good to have also if you hapen to disconnect, or if you have slow reflexes or something
also a big rearon i fit AC:s on everything ofcourse is that i am a minmatar. but you should also know that the 125mm AC II is i'd say underpriced compared to the 150mm one that everyone uses, you can buy 5 125mm ones for the price of 1 150 mm AC II , so because of the added tracking low price, insanely low PG requirements and no big loss in DPS i tend to fit those where ever i go
with good energy skills you can run the mods quite long, ofcourse you'll need some good gunnery/missile skills to actually do any damage, but that ability is built in the Merlin really

my merlin setup currently is:
high: rockets x 2, blaster, small nos
mid: webifyer, scram, ab, small sheild booster
low: Capacitor Flux Coil x 2
im thinking of switching out my capacitor flux coils for something like PDS and something else not sure.
its designed for close range combat taking out other frigs and hopefully cruisers and battleships in pvp.
what does MAPC stand for?

MAPC stands for Micro Auxiliary Power Core, a straight +10 or so to your power grid
