The fun thing about T1 frigates is they're so cheap that you can try out multiple tactics, weapons, and fitting choices and not have to worry about the cost of your experiments overwhelming you.

Give them all a try. No reason not to Big smile

Whatever you do, whilst learning the basics don't go flying around in a fancy faction frigate, and only move up to T2's once you're more comfortable with what you want to do.

I have seen just about every frigate hull used to great effect recently. If you're doing it just to learn pvp, I would look at your question from a different direction: Which frigate hull fits the skill training I have already done the best?

I'd suggest T1 frigs to start because they are nice and cheap. Which you choose depends on your skills and your preferences. If i had to choose I'd go for:

Slasher - If projectiles
Breacher - If missiles
Tristan - If drones
Incursus - if hybrids
Tormentor - if lasers

I can suggest fits if you tell us which you plan to use.

Taranis...?

I don't fly it (Yet) but I hear good things. Supposedly nearly 300dps and for an interceptor that's damn good.

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

a kiting Condor is very newbie-friendly, and will let you disengage most fights if they go south.
Also, cheap and doesn't require much SP's.

Taranis is a great ship, over 300dps and carries 2 drones fit rails and a long point for kiting or blasters for up close, i like fitting an aux repper to mine

Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

I was kinda looking into the condor since I've been training missiles and it looked decent. Any fits you guys could post here? Relatively low skill wise.

Mine has 3 LMLs with an empty high

In the mods I have a warp disruptor, 2 damps or tracking disrupters, and a medium shield extender

For the lows I have a micro-auxiliary power core and a DCU

And I use scourge light missiles
