Just lately i've been hunting frigate pirates, and found out that its pretty hard to take them out on your own, especially against multiple kestrels with MWD's and dampeners. 
-They have extreme speeds
-They lock on faster than you
-They have EW and/or sensor dampeners
-Missles are usually too slow to hit them
-Turrets usually can't lock onto them
-Smartbombs are out of the question at a gate in Yulai.. 
So now i'm looking for a good anti-frigate cruiser setup, i can fly all cruisers 'cept gallente.

Solution:
1) Train Gallente cruiser.
2) Fit a Thorax with all smartbombs and drones.
3) Keep away from anything near the Yulai (?) gate.
4) As soon as they get somewhat within range, launch the drones.
Should they keep out of your range, just fire up the smartbombs and keep the stalemate. As soon as one of them wanders too near, they will be easily disposed of with the drones.

That would be fine and dandy, except that smartbombs and drones dont mix well.

Which is why one waits to launch the drones till they get within range and stop smartbombing then. All fine and dandy.

or load up the thorax with 3 gaus 150mm rail guns and a pair of modal neutron blasters, this combined with heavy drones will make more of a mes than smart bombs alone  |

Blackbird with 4 sensor boosters and 2 tracking cpu's.
Throw on a couple of 250mm railguns (named or not) and some damage mods.
Throw in some m-12's with defenders in case there are multiple kestrels.
Worth a try.

... Wouldn't a Rifter with MWD, webber and autocannons (plus standard launcher with defenders for extra cover) work better?
* faster than Kestrel
* locks on faster than Kestrel
* unaffected by dampeners because operates at close range
* can outrun missiles
* can bring the Kestrel to nearly a stop with web, tear it apart with guns and chase after another with burst of MWD long before the missiles aimed at it cross the distance. o.O

Try a Thorax, and give it this:
High
4 * 150MMs with whatever you want
1 * Smartbomb
Medium
Webifier
10Mn MWD
10Mn AB
Lows
As many cap relays as you can fit
Drones
8 * Wasps (they are faster than Ogres init)
I tried this set-up with two MWDs, one on auto one on manual, but it was too fast and I overshot the target every time. With an AB you get the speed boost to catch up with the little buggers, and the webifier sorts 'em out proper. Use the smartbomb incase they get*****y with the missiles, and the use the 150MMs (with drones if you need 'em) to mince them.
Alternatively put a warp scrambler in the medium slot rather than the AB, assuming you can get withing 20/7.5Km in time with just an MWD...
