So I'm going to be entering a frigate bash, and these are the rules:
- T1 Frigates Only
- No Rigs
- Mods are Meta Level 0 Only

I've never had to fit out a frigate with these kinds of constraints before, and I'm leaning towards either a Rifter or some kind of ECM frigate. Any ship suggestions/fittings?

no rigs sounds dumb since they don't exactly cost much (might as well say no low slots, it's equally arbitrary) but a merlin or tristan is probably your best bet. Depends if its a FFA or knockout based.

assuming no faction frigs, implants nor faction ammo etc.

Try to overheat scram and kite at just under 9km for as long as you can. not much will be able to touch you because of the restriction on tech II guns.

If you think everyone is going to be ab fit then you can forego the scram and replace with a TD or second web, maybe invuln.

Rifter isn't actually the toughest frig, its popularity has more to do with having enough speed to get away. Conventional pvp norms don't apply. That's why you see boats like Tristian that people don't fly in the wild.

In such a tournament, you might as well try something weird, like an overtanked light missile Kestral with tp and no prop.

You will need an AB on that Merlin to even have a chance. Otherwise, you'll lose to the first Kestrel/Rifter you meet. Personally I would use a Tristan

Hobgoblin I x1

This is more or less what I use, exception is everything being tech II/complex, and with rigs obv. Have beaten nearly every tech I frig 1v1 in it. Drone makes a large difference vs kiting ships like rail incursus ( who also has a drone, but he won't be able to hit yours and you can one or two volley his ) or kestrel/rifter.
