I'm not looking for any specific information here. The questions is which ship do you find most versatile, not in the sense that it is good at many things with one and the same fitting, but can be outfitted in a multitude of useful ways.
Some ships cry for one specific setup and are very good when fitted accordingly. Other ships shine in many ways with different setups and these are the ones this thread is about.
Post your favorite versatile ship. PvP, PvE anything goes.

Hurricane (fast / DPS / passive shield tank), Domi, Arby and vexor. I think the drone boats do allow alot more versitility because it leaves their slots quite free.

All drone boats really. Also rupture , cane , phoon , pest.
Note that people often underestimate the flexibility of straightforward ships like the mega or hype. They are not confined to a single role like a vaga or blackbird.
Still , the domi has the most fitting options obviously. You can hardly know wether it's going to shoot you , nos you or repair your target. Could be a noobish ratter with the combat ability of a cruiser or a rigged monster fitted to counter you.

Frigate: Rifter Cruiser: Arbitrator
I know that with Rifters and Arbitrators, I almost never fit them the same way twice. Equal numbers of mid and low slots, and diverse high slot options, mean you can fit them all kinds of ways. And everybody's got a different idea for what they can do. Also, they are sexy.
In the battleship class I guess maybe a Typhoon is similarly versatile, but I've never flown one.

Yeah, this ship can do just about anything you ask it to. It doesn't top the field in any of these roles, but its competative. ---

Nightmare. Mine has 22,666 shield, resists around 80, and pushes out roughly 1200 dps - it has a heavy nos, heavy neut, ECM drones, and awesome shield boosting. It's a swiss army knife. Most importantly, it's geared up with disposable faction and t2 stuff :D

Hurricane.
Cheap, disposable, packs a good punch and is good vs a wide variety of targets, locks reasonably fast enough so it's OK for gatecamping.

Rookie ships are pretty versatile, too. But that's end-game content, really. I think it'd be the ultimate test of PVP skill, taking down something big with an Impairor, but I don't have the skills yet.

I'm suprised that nobody has mentioned carriers. Fighter/drone damage, logistics, hauling, jump capability. They are the current embodiment of a 'Swiss Army Knife' ship.
I consider the Rokh to be fairly versatile because it has far more weapon hardpoints than it has highslots so you can set one up in a huge variety of ways (rails, blasters, gun/torp splits, nos/neut/torp splits, gun/cruise splits for PvE, etc). It also tanks like a beast and has a huge engagement range. But it pays for all of this by only ever doing mediocre DPS with any setup except in the situations where you're shooting further than anyone else can (i.e. 425s/Neutrons with Spike/Null). -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne |

Dominix
I full gank mode it can put out DPS to rival the mega. In full tank mode it's a tough nut to ***** and can still put out decent damage with T2 heavies. I haven't fit an EW domi in a while, but those were hilarious. Fly in battle, jam/damp everybody, set out sentries and activate tank. |

WTB Rokh with more weapon hardpoints than high slots.
Check the market, you'll see them everywhere. 8 high slots, 8 turret hardpoints, 4 misssile hardpoints. This supports a lot of different setups, but none of them are really the best at what they do except the extreme range rail sniper. -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne |
