First question is always what is your fit to be used for? Solo? Small gang? Fleet fights? Pure tackle? Combat? etc.

The Condor's biggest strength is its speed and "nah nah you can't catch me" ability. It can safely hover outside the range of most short-range small weapon systems without getting hit, and as such you'll usually see it fit with a warp disruptor rather than a scrambler for the extra range. However, it pays for it by having a very thin tank. Getting caught is usually a death sentence.

There are some brawling fits that use a scrambler but they usually are fit rather differently, with rockets and sometimes even an armor tank. If you really need the scrambler for hard tackle on something larger (to shut off mircrowarp or microjump drive) there are better tankier options than the condor.

You are using long range weapons with a short range Warp Scrambler.

Either switch to Rockets (which do slightly more damage) or equip a Warp Disruptor (so you can stay out at range).

I recommend the latter.

Well...on the bright side, it's cheap.

I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.

Ditch the cap recharger, ditch the small shield extender (smalls are useless, medium is the standard size for frigs), replace them with 2 tracking disruptors and optimal range scripts. Attack turret frigates, kite at the edge of warp disruptor range and pepper them with missiles while using your TDs to reduce their effective range.
