*Special Ability: 10% bonus to Kinetic (Bloodclaw) missile damage and 5% bonus to EM, Explosive, and Thermal missile damage per level.

This is a basic T1 setup for use in a PvP-BASIC Hydra gang.
 
  
−
The kestrel has quite limited powergrid, making fitting standard missiles difficult. Fitting a Micro Auxiliary Power Core solves this problem (although you need Energy Management IV to fit it). A standard missile kestrel may not have the raw damage output of the rocket variant, however it makes up for this by having exceptional range, while still dealing damage on par with other combat frigates.
 
  
−
Due to the size of PvP-BASIC fleets, this setup is usually preferred over [[T1 Hydra Kestrel|the rocket variant]]. This setup is more difficult to fit (requires a Micro Auxiliary Power Core) and deals less damage, however it has much longer range, allowing you to start dealing damage sooner.

Be advised that the Kestrel does not have capacitor to get across some larger systems, so you'll need to be paying attention ''before'' this happens so as not to get lost.

'''Please have several of the following modules in stock at class start location.''' You will have to adjust the 2 EWAR midslots as needed to balance the fleet so make sure to bring 2 of each of these electronic warfare modules with you per frigate hull that you buy. Because ewar modules are CPU intensive you may want to bring a co-processor along. You will also need to use scripts with some ewar modules (dampeners and tracking disrupters) so make sure to bring along one of each kind of script per ewar module that you buy and bring.

====Additional Notes====

You should carry with you:

* 500 units of longer-range ammo

The Kestral is quite a bit slower than the other Combat Frigates at the bare minimum skills, so we choose to fit the T1 version with a point and EWAR in order to enable the pilot to provide some effectiveness to the fleet while getting into range of the targets. You can choose to fit the Kestral with light missiles if preferred, although Rockets provide more DPS.

'''Rigs:''' These are optional, but some of these are extremely cheap to purchase in trade hubs. Next to each rig in parentheses is the number of calibration points it requires. Kestrel has 400 calibration points in total:
+
−
* Small Bay Loading Accelerator I (200) - increases rate of fire of missile launchers, increases cpu use by launchers
+
−
* Small Warhead Calefaction Catalyst I  (200) - increases damage done by missiles, increases cpu use by launchers
+
−
* Small Targeting System Subcontroller I (100) - cuts targeting speed, decreases shield amount
+
−
* Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I (50) - improves agility, decreases armor amount
+
−
* Small Auxiliary Thrusters I (100) - improves speed, decreases armor amount
+
−
Note: Using several rigs that decrease your shield or armor amount will make you more susceptible to bombs. As such the damage rigs are recommended for this setup.<br><br>

====Low Slots====

====Mid Slots====

−
* 2x EWAR modules of your choice.

Note that due to the huge CPU requirements of the standard launchers, you are likely to be unable to fit most EWAR types. Stasis Webifiers and Ship Scanners are the easiest to fit.
