I think that the only way to balance the whole frigates, you should modify the frigates by role.
1- Long range attack fregate (30 - 50 km). or Reco/Cyno .
2- Brawler frigate (0 - 15km) or Heavy Takler
3- Mid range combat ( 15 -30 km)
4- Fast transport or Mining (base cargohold 500m3 and 4 low slots minimum)
It will be difficult to see if the ships are corectly balanced without that I think. |

Bombardment , I think it is not weapon type option but a style of combat:
Static or near Static, and powerful.
A bombardement frigate could perharps fit large weapons like a stealth bomber but without cloacking.
It could have a siege option like a Dreadnought... |

Before think about balancing T1 frigates, the first thing is to determine what purpose for each frigate and if we will find the same purpose in all races.
I think it would be easier to choose six base missions for each of the six different frigates in each race:
1- Long range attack fregate (30 - 50 km).
Bonus to Standard missiles, Beam lasers, Small artillery or Small railgun range or damage
Bonus to Beam lasers, Small artillery or Small railgun tracking or Bonus to Standard missiles velocity.
Kestrel / Inquisitor / Navitas / Breacher
2- Brawler frigate (0 - 15km) or Heavy Takler
Bonus to Rocket launcher, Small pulse, Small blasters or Small Autocanons damage
Bonus to Rocket launcher velocity or Bonus Small pulse, Small blasters or Small Autocanons tracking
Bonus to defence
Merlin, Punisher, Rifter, Tristan
3- Mid range combat ( 15 -30 km)
Bous to small weapon damage or range
Bonus to defence
Condor, Executioner, Slasher, Incursus
4- Fast transport or Mining or Salvage
Bonus to cargohold and 4 low slots minimum
Bonus mining laser yield
Bonus to salvage
Bantam, Tormentor, Burst, Navitas
5- Ewar support
Bonus to remote sensor booster or target painter
Bonus to remote repairer
Griffin, Crucifier, Vigil, Maulus
6- Scout /Probe
Bonus to probe strengh
Bonus to afterburner speed
Heron, Magnate, Probe, Atron
I knowI Modified some ship purpose and choose to not use Drones as weapon base option. |

The other option would to give all the races two main weapons:
Amarr: Laser+Drones (drones instead missiles to balance missiles and drones among races)
Galente: Hybrid+Drones
Caldari: Missiles+Hybrid
Minmatar: Projectiles+Missiles
With a T1 ship based on each Weapon for each size.? |
