I'm a pretty big fan of the Orca for its utility in nullsec. I once took one 47 jumps through Curse, Catch, and Tenerefis.
Not al at ONCE though! That'd be foolish!
I am also a big fan of the Proteus. I'm a blaster ship slappy at heart. Also, I keep hearing great things about the Talos...I admit, I'm curious! I'd love to try it out, but I see that 60 million dying in a fire before I get to use it remotely correctly. |

Tach Nightmare for PVE. (I live in Amarr. NM melts thru rats like butter.)
Geddon or Curse for PVP. Navy omens are fun in a gang, can squeeze almost 700dps out of them with heavy pulses. |

Because of Liang. I live in Amamake. You should drop by with your Falcon and make me cry. I'm so terrible at this game and my tears are so easy to take and you can farm kills off of me allll daaayyyy loonnnnggg..... It might even be worth staging a few falcons in Ossogur just to make sure you can quickly replace any losses from the rats (because we both know I suck too bad to actually kill you). You can use Red Frog Freight to move them in bulk. :( :( :( :( OP: Gonna go with the Basilisk and Harpy as my favorite ships. -Liang Ed: Also, Talos... dayum it must be seen to be believed.
I believe you were being mocked, Liang. How does it feel?
Also, Rifter. The Rifter is magical and seems to attract dumb people to underestimate it like no other frigate does. There are tons of other "interesting" ships to fly, and I fly a wide variety of ships of all races, but the Rifter has a special place in my heart.
Oh, also the Vagabond. Because it is a giant frigate.
Edit: Yeah, I tried to take on a shield Talos with a Harbinger in a few test fights. I lost every time. How is the Talos so friggin good. |

Oh you must be mistaken. See, the Talos has blasters and therefore it goes 800 m/s and can't hit further than 2km.......

Oh, that was a statement, not a question. Battleship blasters with tracking bonus and damage bonus, plus the massive tracking buff blasters got = amazing. It's a mini-Megathron that does more damage, and is way faster. And I am never letting myself be anywhere near it in a Vagabond.
Crucible has changed my perspective on Gallente boats quite a lot. It's not "lol, I can out-range it with regular short-range autocannon ammo" anymore. I've even started to fly Thorax, and it is quite a mean ship now. Not quite my favorite yet, but rather great, since it's still underestimated by most people. |

I actually just didn't want you to see that I was trying out Javelin S. Turns out it still has tracking issues unless I "keep at range" or manually fly (which is difficult with a 3 km optimal). |

Hahaha, yeah... well **** man, there's no way to know that aside from actually trying it out. EFT only goes so far - at some point you have to confirm your suspicions in game. :)

It's way better damage than the old way of using autocannons on the Merlin, and better than electron blasters (because lolrange). Once I finish Energy Management V for a MAPC II, I can use ions, but until then... we derailed the thread |

Haha, I saw that in the patch notes. I even briefly considered using a Falcon like a pilgrim or Blarazu, but decided it probably wasn't worth it. The DPS was too low then... I'll have to look at it again though. >:-)

Both the damage and tank were too low. Even if you have the damage, if you ever miss a single jam, you are immediately dead. I'd rather use a Griffin and not even pretend to have a tank. I almost killed a Stabber in a Griffin once, but it managed to get back to the gate in time... |

Dude, you should check a Rocket Kitsune out. Its way better than anyone gives it credit for... its just also impossible to get a fight. :(

I know it isn't "The Best" as far as a PvP ship, but for me it is "The Best" as far as fun: The Sentinel. It is my absolute favorite solo ship of all time. The DPS is pretty low and it is limited to taking on gunboats, but it is just so much fun to dance 18km away from the target, destroying cap and gun optimal, while slowly grinding him down.
Most Frigates (T1 and T2), Destroyers, some Cruisers are dead before the fight even begins. It's so much fun. : > It's not you guys who need to repair what has been broken, it's us. CCP Wrangler |

I enjoy flying Kitsune and Sentinel, but strictly as long range (30-40 km) support ships. Their low tank makes me extremely nervous. That said, I have had great fun with both of them.
The most notable moment was when my gang engaged a Dramiel+Vagabond, only to realize they were tackle for an oncoming blob. I jammed both of them, and my whole gang escaped. Before I warped out, the Dramiel and Vagabond were futilely and angrily trying to bump me. I feel bad and awesome at the same time for that. |

Am I the only one who likes the Keres and Hyena here? (Respectively, 35+km long-point/ca. 14km scram--without heating-- and 20km web, ditto).
The few times I or people I know flew them over the years, it was always amazing and delightful how big of a pest of yourself you could make in a gang (/me giggles)...
Favourites:
PvE/Industry:
Tengu--Missioning in anything else is just too much like work after this one, plus can handle much higher-end solo PvE easily. Machariel--Even missioning is almost fun with this one--just blap everything from range, motor to next gate, repeat until done 5-10min later. Vargur--Like a Mach, just less flamboyant, more "workmanlike" in its' approach. I think it looks cooler, too, in some ways. Noctis--I just love these ships, they are freakin' cool, and work so perfectly in their intended role. Mammoth: Probably the best value of all the tech I haulers. Drake--Versatility and PvE capability across a hugely broad range of applications. Will grow with you for a long time, as well. Orca--HiSec carrier. So endlessly useful in almost any situation!
PvP:
Drake, Hurricane, Harbinger--Such a delightfully perfect performance : cost ratio, such wonderful versatility, and fully insurable! Plus the Drake is so tastefully-restrained sexy/majestic looking. Haven't flown a PvP Myrm yet, but many I know also swear by it, for the same reasons (and it also looks cool). Rifter--The so adorably perfect little PvP ship. If I was ever forced to choose only one ship in which I must stay for the rest of my EVE-life, then I would choose this one, without hesitation. Jaguar--I like Rifters. I like shield-tanking. I like fast shield-tankers, and the Rifter hull--so here is the perfect evolution of the Rifter. Lovely slot-layout, soon to improve even more. Wolf, Enyo--Very pure expressions of the ganky assault frigates, and soon to be even better. A bit slow for my tastes, but whatever... Ishkur--Turn loose the Swarm!! Falcon, Rapier--I like pissing leet-sters off, and these ships do this really, really well Force-multiplier, dig it, baby! Vagabond--Giant interceptor, lots of fun to fly. Stiletto--The best gang-ceptor, bar none. Crow--Criminally under-appreciated by most, but we who like to fight at long range "get it." Hyena, Keres, Kitsune--more fun ways to **** leet-sters off and generally be a pest. Vigil--the ninja-salvager's best friend. Helios--of the 4 CovOps, it has enough powergrid to fit a MicroWarpdrive, and a small shield buffer without an MAPC. And then, you've still got 3 more mid-slots, and 3 lows to play with. Manticore--really, all 4 of the stealth bombers, but this one has the most CPU, so easiest to fit/most versatile. Widow--The coolest ship ever. Still waiting on some skills to make full use of mine. I A/F/K cloak in Jita. Does that count? |

The Hyena is too paper-thin for how much attention it draws to itself, IMO. I've been telling myself to try the Keres (I have Gallente Frigate V and EAF IV), but I never got around to training sensor dampeners. Is it really that fun? |
