Evening folks,
Was thinking about my ships earlier, ones I have, ones I don't and ones that I should really get rid of!
Anyway, what do you folks think are the 5 sub-cap ships everyone should have whether its due to looks, roles, abilities and so on.

From a PvPer's perspective you should have...
- a hauling ship of some kind (preferably a Blockade Runner) - a fast-tackle frigate - a brawling DPS dealer - a ranged, fast attack ship - a cloaking ship of some sort
I am intentionally vague because what classes of ships these might be depends on where you are located and what type of PvP you engage in.
For example: - in Faction Warfare space most of the ships listed above will be frigates, destroyers, and cruisers. - in high-sec wars most of these ships might be cruisers and battlecruisers. - in 0.0 space it would depend on whether you are in a large alliance with a doctrine or are trying to avoid the large alliances. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Not being super specific:
1 A well trained BS. Any race will do, but be good in the thing. 2 A well trained BC. Drake or Cane imo, because capless/selectable dmg. Very affordable and they can fight *up* or fight *down* in ship class. 3 A covert hauler, which means Industrial V of some race. 4 Tengu. T3 offer the most versatility, and Tengu is top ranked in several aspects. 5 and 5a EITHER Logi or Recon ship. One or the other will always help a fleet, and both require specific skills that make a pilot better.
My first 4 choices apply to PvP or PvE pilots. Logi or Recon is pretty PvP specific. |

There is no such thing as a must-have ship for everyone. Some people can't live without a Marauder, some without a Blockade Runner and some don't even need a ship, only doing station-trading all the time.
My own list highly depends on activity I'm doing. "The right tool for the job" comes to mind. There are some preferences based on what I like to fly (for instance, missile ships, fast skirmishers or very high dps brawlers), but other than that, don't be surprised to find me in a Buzzard one day and in a Vindicator the next. |

Depends where you live, if your in some sort of null block its probably something boring like Rokhs or Megathrons.
I myself would say out of my hangar;
1) Swishtar 2) Navy Geddon 3) Guardian 4) Coercer 5) Broteus |

I guess that what it amounts to is which ships most iconic, which ships you'd bring out to show a friend who's exposure to EVE is minimal but who's perhaps seen ads and so forth... perhaps which ships some low end browser game might steal. In terms of "what everyone should have" therefore utility should probably be ignored and we're probably looking at T1 hulls rather than specific models or skins because most non-EVE-players can't tell the difference between a Vexor and an Ishtar (for example) by sight alone. But we should consider what we're pointing people towards with our choices.
The first then has to be the Megathron; probably the most frequently seen hull outside the game. It points, of course, to the classic Blasterthron videos, Farjung and so forth (which are almost guarenteed to get people wanting to try a solo blasterthron).
The second would probably be the Rifter; it may no longer be the only T1 frigate worth flying but it is still iconic, and the idea of thousands of them swarming fleets of much larger ships is a good introduction to the idea that bigger is not better in EVE.
I'd probably have to go for the Thorax next (those who don't own a Thorax could perhaps substitute the special edition "Gallente Cruiser Model"). The space dildo monicker alone gains this its place but of course "Yes TWD... Unbeatable" is significant (Thank you Star Fraction).
Reflecting more Alliance Tournament greats we've got to include the Cyclone (It may be the Hurricane in future but the Space Train still persists, in my mind at least).
The fifth should probably be the Raven. The default PvE position for a long while may not be perfect in this situation but I can't think of any one ship which beats it for this last place. "My Raven was fit with the following..." is probably the most important factor though. |

Falcon - Just to get on everyone's nerves.
Utu - Because you want an assault frigate, and you want to have a pimped out one. Just tell yourself it's to catch those pesky interceptors and covops.
Crane - For hauling stuff. Because, well, no one attacks very ugly ships.
Kronos - Fit it with blasters and just **** face. If you can get close enough.
And a random ship. Maybe another Utu, just for fun.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all... |

Cant think of 5 that absolutely everyone should have, but:
* T1 Scanning Frigate. Nice cargo for a frigate, scans, lights cynos, cheap, etc. Quite a bit of utility for the price.
* industrial
* shuttle
* rookie ship ( most should have them xD) |
