I'm a caldari, and I just started playing a couple of days ago. I wanted to be more combat specific, but the only reccomendation I could get on my first ship is the condor, which most of the people on these forums seem to disagree with. Any advice? (Sorry, I'm sure there is a topic but this forum doesn't seem to have a search function)

you're probably running missions or killing belt rats..
If you are. Condors are a good place to start then move up to a merlin.

How does a Merlin compare to a Kestrel? When I moved from my Bantam, I chose the Merlin since description said it was among the best frigates out there...
Kestrel any good? :)

I'm a big kessie fan, but I'd say that it's more of a PvP ship. People might disagree with me here, though. So it depends really. Kessie is a great frig for PvP.

Honostly, I don't even know where to pvp, so I'm not terribly worried... more looking for PVE vessels.

Microwarpdrive. Comes in three sizes: 1MN, 10MN and 100MN. For frigs, cruisers and battleships respectively. It's the afterburner's big brother with a signature radius and maximum capacitor penalty due to it's massive velocity bonus.

If you're going for lvl 1 missions, i'd say Kestrel is a little better. Does really nice damage, has no problems tanking the damage in lvl 1s and it has a really nice cargo hold so you can collect all the crap rats drop :) Plus you won't have to train for both hybrids and missiles for now.

On the other hand, if I want to mine what ship should I get (Osprey has too many skills right now)?

Here's antoher way to look at it.
Kestrel- if you want to use missile skills
Merlin- if you want to bastardize and do missiles and guns, has better tanking than the kestrel
Bantam-i guess its the mining frig..I really hate the ship though
Condor- a shuttle that can fit a mwd
--------------
now this is the way a sig should be

Im not using a condor because I like it more, I'm using it because I dont have the frigate skill to use merlin or kerstel.

I'm at this same spot. Driving a Condor and liking the off distance punch of the missiles aswell as the speed. Considering Kestrel next but curious why no one mentions the Destroyer? Is it worth it or do most skip right to cruisers?
Where can I find a consolidated list of what goes into med and Lo slots? Can't find the slot assignment under show info.
Bonus question: is it possible to target multiples at same time and shoot missiles at each?
Thanks

Personally, I went for the Merlin and am glad of it. Is a great versatile ships with enough slots to allow you to play with all sorts of setups and learn slotting.
If you are interested in Assault Frigates later down the line, then Merlin good to get comfortable in ahead of that. The frigates are so cheap though, you should own all of them to learn about them and see what your preferred style is. Good luck.
