Tristan is a wonderful frig although I'd take the incursus over it anyday, I've done level 2 missions with incursus pretty easilly. I'd wait to get a thorax until you have 3m+ SP, including decent gunnery skills (at least 3 in the extras like trajectory analysis ad controlled bursts) and good drone skills, which is drones 5, heavy drones 3+, scout drones 3+ and drone interfacing 3. That way you can use one of the best points on the thorax; its enormous drone bay. Stick 8 heavy drones in there and watch them eat through ships without you even having to fire a shot.
If your skills are on the lower end I'd invest in a vexor, a thorax with low SP will just be frustrating and most likely cost you the ship in the end. Vexor is a good next-step cruiser, it has supplemental drone bonus that helps if you don't have that great of drone skills and decent firepower for half the cost.

Truthfully I bought it cause it was one of the few I could use, that I could afford, and that looked cool. I am only up to gallante 4 frigate. What I really want is a ship with lots of free low power slots. It seems everything uses one.
