Best ship/class for level 2 missions?

I have just started level 2 missions, and the first time I got a combat mission against interceptor drones I was overmatched. I am currently running a Rifter with 2 Std missile launchers and 2 250mm arties. After getting spanked I learned the Defender Missile skill, but havent used them yet.
Can a frigate be set up to successfully complete level 2 missions, or should I move up in class? I could move to a Destroyer now, but ingame chat has told me destroyers arent up to these missions either. Thanks in advance for your advice.

You can do most of level 2 missions in a kestrel. Set it up with 4 light missile launchers and orbit at 22-23km. 20km is the max flight distance for npc light missiles, so if you will stay out of that range, you will be fine; 40km is for heavy missiles.
Two missions to avoid is "Hidden Stash" and other one where you have to destroy a bordel. Hidden Stash has 3 50k+ rats that start pounding on you with heavy missiles as soon as you warp in and other one also has heavy missile spammer. Avoid those 2 and you will be fine.
Ship setup:
High - 4 light missile launchers with bloodclaws.
Med - 1 named AB, 1 Small Shield Booster and Cap Recharger
Low - 2 Ballistic Controls or 1 Ballistic Control and 1 Capacitor power relay
prety much any ship can do lvl2 missions
a well equipped frigate will do it.
at the start i would stick to one racial class of ships - go for a breacher of you want a missile ship (its a faster verion of a kestrel with 1 less missile hardpoint)
or if you want, go up to a cruiser.. its a it overkill, but it'll get the job done. I love Stabbers, they are a very cool minmatar cruiser
All depend how skilled you are. And what you like
I like to do them in a Maulus with
high: 1x 125mm, 1x 75mm. remote armor repair
medium: AB, Target Painter, remote sensor dampers.
low: signal amplifiers, armor repair
and most important : 3x hobgoblin. or 1x Hobgoblin and 1x Hammerhead (depend on mission)
This is a way it will work :
target NPC, use a target painter (NPC's will see you) attack with drones (yes you need high drone skills)
- use the damper when NPC's come to close.
- watch the status of your drones and call them back for repair when they been hit.
- control the drones , you give them the target to attack (in a deadspace mission drones attack objects)
- target paint the ship you shoot or drones fight
- use iridium (you can keep nice distance)
Hmmm...any ship as long as your careful! I lost a prophecy in a lvl 2 mish
Which FF Character Are You?
I personally use a harpy.
Hi - 4x T2 Small Guns & 1 Arb Standard launcher.
Med - T2 small SB , Alumlel wired sensor , (cant think wat else)
Low - Power diag (T2) , T2 Tracking enhancer.
T2 = Tech2
Seems to get the missions done pretty easy
Enjoy if u can use em
lvl2 missions are easy as cake with a cruiser, I used to earn a lot of sp by using a Thorax with some speed boosters and fighter mission agents with high chances on implants...
But they're more fun with kestrels...
