Cheaper things:
triple rep myrm is great
VNI is also really good
Taranis is nice too.
Lots of good choices but I would go with the Gila. I can already fly the Gila. and I have a myrm and Brutix both multi rep, but i'm more or less looking for cruisers and smaller to fly around in Low Sec alone/small gang.
So unless you plan to tank gate guns. A Gila would be the perfect choice for solo / small scale PvP and here is why:
1. Good DPS.
2. Reasonable buffer leading to more surivviablity.
3. Can carry an assortment of drones including lights and ecmto fend off light tackle and/or get out fo sticky situations.
4. Can equip 4 RLM launchers which it gets a bonus to kin and therm damage.
5. DPS is not strictly drone reliant.
6. High moblity. This means that you can usually make it back to gate and/or kite opponents with skill.
7. Can fit a mid cap injecttior, 2 LSE II"s, an invuln, and a WD II and MWD leading to a well rounded ship that cannot be neuted out easily.
It's a win win with the Gila. The only down side is the cost. The next ship in line would be the Ishtar, The Ishtar is also a very solid choice and it's extremely versatile. As for frigs to solo with. Look into the Worm. It's basically a smaller Gila. |

It's fast, tough, hard hitting and it has ridiculous versatility. You can mwd kite, scram kite, or blaster brawl with equal effectiveness And your enemy has to guess which one until he lands on grid. Oh and it also can field 2 flights of 3 light drones which is an additional 40-60 dps and a decent deterrent to liters. I don't fly the comet much because the slicer is such a sexy looking ship, but in terms of sheer PvP utility the comet is a demon.
Good luck taking that against a Worm. |

I was really comparing the comet to t1/navy frigs and AF's. Obviously the worm kills anything smaller than a cruiser besides a linked Garmur that laughs at drones. |

So, you like drones and you want to kill things quickly with the Vexor? Have I got a story for you...
A little while back, a pirate Cynabal decided to crash my neighborhood and popped a couple frigates and a cruiser. I reshipped into a nasty surprise for the guy, and a corpmate offered to provide bait in a Vexor he was tinkering with. It was shield tanked with blasters for maxdps.
When the Cyna took the bait, I initiated warp, and to my astonishment my Vexor bro crushed it before I could even get on grid. If you want maximum bang for your buck from a drone boat, here's my vote: https://o.smium.org/loadout/17337
I think I'm gonna try a few of these myself.... |

Quote:1) doesn't matter how fast they are if you start the engagement on top of them , which is almost always the case. 2) immediately no but over time it will. 3)no but you can only carry so many capboosters 4) with halos boost and drugs you will have a smaller Sig than a light drone, that combined with the t2 resist means the only thing you are in any real danger from are drones, which an ishkur with warrior 2s will eat. These things are a nightmare for anything cruiser sized and up that you can catch and note that I specifically said "bigger stuff"

I personally like the Rail Enyo. Ive solo'd a drake in one easily and have had much success with it in small gang warfare. Check out the fit below. Basically, you orbit outside of scram range and speed tank what you can and rep what you cant. Booster to keep everything going. Its a quick and agile ship with good DPS. I usually ran with CN Antimatter loaded with Javelin and a couple of the longer range ammo just in case. Of course, its got some weaknesses but it was definitely a fun ship to fly.

Small Ancillary Current Router I Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Note: Reason why the neut is offline is because I had implants that could allow me to fit it. Without the neut, that fit is fine without implants.
The Deimos is a good Solo ship as well if you ever want to move up to a bigger ship. A pilot in that big solo video that was posted a few weeks back was flying one. Also the Taranis is a mean ship if you can handle it. I knew a guy that had many solo kills in them, but he challenged almost everything and died quite a bit too. If you want to stick with frigs and dont mind to spend a little extra, the Daredevil is so much fun to fly and is downright deadly.
I know you said you perfer blasters and drones, so the Ishkur is probably the way to go for you, just thought I would share this as well. Good luck and fly dangerously. |

Exeq Navy issue is also a really nice rail or blaster platform.
I would ignore AF's (the suck) and instead check out the tristan if you are interested in frigate pvp What on earth can a Tristan do that a ton of AFs can't do much better? Iskhur has a better tank, better damage, better sig radius (aka harder to track) and doesn't lose a large chunk of damage if people kill off a bunch of drones. It's more expensive, but to say AFs suck and then to recommend a Tristan is a bit silly.
A Tristan beats an Ishkur any time in the "Getting a fight" category. |

beating a worm (or forcing him off field at least )in a comet is possible, so is in many other frigs, with the proper fit and excellent piloting |

In other news, I see interesting things being done with the neut Tristan.

If I have a suitable warp-in on a cruiser-sized or larger target, a dual-webbed Talos is one of my favorite choices. Warp to zero, lock, scram, web, BLAP, extract. Those Ospreys went down in two salvos each.
