I'm a Caldari rookie, just started playing a couple days ago and still on my starting ship. What's a decent and realistic ship to go for as my next ship? I'm interested in pirate hunting and agent missions, and no mining!

normal progression for Caldari fighting rookies is -
- Condor ( around 20k ISK , should be able to get into this after finishing the tutorial ).
After that 2 popular choices ;
Kestrel - missile boat. No gun turrets. Need good missile skills to use it.
Merlin - 2 guns, 2 missiles. Heavier shields than the Kestrel and probably cheaper to run as gun/hybrid ammo is far less expensive than missiles.
Your preference I guess for either. They are both around the 200,000ISK mark give or take.

For NPC's and missions i'd go:
Condor
Merlin (All-out Missiles gets quite expensive when you're young, kestrel isn't a good choice at this stage imho)
Osprey (or wait a little bit untill you can afford a blackbird)
Moa
Har-de-fraggin'-har-har!

If you're looking for Courier Missions, go with the Kestrel...default 305 cargo space, and packs a nice punch.

Could always train a different races ship it doesnŠt take much time and changes are that you will do it sometimes anyway. Minmatar are the king of frigates at the moment but that might change when the new missile changes come in.

This is my story: The history of the growing Caldari Fighter
I started with a mining frigate (Bantam), Then I took a Merlin but this one got blown up by some NPC's in a 0.4 sector. So I decided to try another ship: the Kestrel! It's a nice, fast and powerfull ship. The missiles are expencive but you can kill strong NPC's so you earn them back in no time (love to kite NPC's). Then I bought a badger to help my corp mates and upgraded it to a badger mark II. By helping the corp and killing rats - gathered enough money to buy the Caracal (THE missile boat!), and I must admit I love it!
The Caldari race is missile based so I suggest you get a Kestrel and then a Caracal. This is what I reached in 3 weeks playing, not outstading but still good for me 
This was my story coming up more next time goodluck

no mining simple. get a kes.. 4 missile launchers train the missile skills and you can really dish out damage, you should be able to do lvl 3 agent missions with ease
id also train afterburners and navigation to lvl 4 so you can get macro warp drives, as if you take a pasting youll need the speed to get out alive.
