Yeah, but realistically, what do people actually use noobships for? Autopiloting when they need to get somewhere and don't want to buy a shuttle.
For that, can't beat the reaper. +15-25% speed? Yes please!

I'm quite certain that the Augoror is the most exquisitely-designed ship in EVE. I am certain of this because, after almost three years, I still haven't figured out what its creators intended. Surely this is a sign of their near-Da-Vinci-level ingenuity; the complexity of their design evades even formidable minds like mine.

I would have to say the Sin or the Redeemer, great ships and they work great when you use them in their intended role. However, its up to the pilots with creative minds to find that role

Edited by: BeachParty on 28/04/2010 17:19:14 The Blackbird is an all-time great. It is simply one of the most useful ships any new pilot can jump into. As your Electronic Warfare skills evolve the variety and complexity of the blackbirds roles blossoms nicely allowing the pilot to experience career-growth within the ships intended role for an extended period of time. At full skills the Blackbird fulfills 80-90% of the falcons' real-word usefulness @12MISK. allowing the pilot to fly this little EWAR machine with reckless abandon.
As for the Vegabond, it appears to be a favorite snack for the Blackbird with its low sensor strength. consider yourself jammed disrupted and webbed before you can even deploy the drones.

The Harbinger.
It is great for PvP and PvE. I use it extensively for low sec exploration. Nice damage, can field 2 flights of light drones, can buffer it or fit a decent active tank. If you bring a Harbinger to a gang, nobody will tell you to go away. Not quite as mobile as I would like, but overall I think it is a fantastic ship.

Rifter/Rupture/Cane is probably the best progression of ships in the game. You can argue each one is at the top of it's respective class for PvP and PvE. They have a variety of fitting options and since the Arty changes can fit for distance as well as close in brawlers. They are insurable, have selectable damage, and can do shield or armor tanking depending on the situation. All in all hard combinations to beat.
Honorable mentions are the Arbitrator and Vexor. The Arby is extremely versitle thanks to its EWAR and Drone bay, while the Vexor is a better fighting ship. A cruiser fleet of Ruptures, Vexors, and Arbitrators is a wonderful thing for cheap, effective small gangs.

drake, easily. Works with acitve tank, buffer tank.
can do any level of missions ( can fit assaults for lvl 1-2)
great PVP ship, can fit high damage, with a very good buffer, or do a bait-tank
INSUREABLE!

They make great cyno ships when you are hopping across systems without a station.
I hate this question the OP proposes because I think this thread could go on for years and still wouldn't have a resolution. Many people voting for ships never flew the sister ships of the other races therefore their vote is biased.
However... I'll bite anyway.
Drake = best designed ship in the game. Cheap, versatile and easy to get into.

Sleip or Drake IMO. They're both really cohesive and well put together - both in concept and in practice.

Having just been reminded of this by the thread on the fron page, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Prorator. I guess it really applies to any blockade runner, but that's the one I can fly.
Want to move a few thousand m¦ through low sec? What else are you gonna choose?

id say tengu, but depends on the subsystem you used though, must use my subsystem fit if you want to have a "pimp my ride" type of ship and for it to look really cool.
but i hafta agree some of its fiting like CPU maximixer sub (dont know what it called) really makes the tengu looks crap.
but so far my subsystem fit makes my tengu stands out from the rest of ship design
next to it would be machareal battleship from angel cartel, megathrone, ashimu of blood riaders and cruour blood raider frigate also looks cool. i also found gallentean level 3 battleship looks very cool and lastly CHIMERA looks really cool amongst all small carriers.

Abaddon would be my favourite, looks fit its function perfectly which is to dish out vast amounts of damage while taking a beating.
Zealot is another as it is purely a highly mobile ranged laser platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- you seem determined to turn it into ******* Hollyoaks for neckbeards. |

Interesting discussion, but far too broad. There are a great many ships that fit very well in their niche and are at the top of their class. You're better off asking for a specific class, niche or like all-around ship. Heck, the vexor could be considered the best all-around ship. You could do anything in it - mine, haul, pve and pvp decently well given the hull size.

The Raven of course.
What is the role of the Vaga? Hit and run well ok he does that good to a degree. But if you are scrammed/out of cap sitting somewhere orbited by an AB-Rifter with your few drones squished it is time for the eject..not really worth it's money.

It's really hard to say.
Hurricane - it's a reasonably fast and reasonably agile gankboat and also looks awesomely cool. Its usage (gank) intuitively follows from its bonuses and it performs in the role well.
Drake - tank & spank. Does exactly what its bonuses advertise, and does it very well. Con: looks like a flattened turd.
Harbinger - laser gank and buffer gankboat. Again, a well designed ship. Con: not so awesome as the two above imo.
Sleipnir - gaaaaaank. See Hurricane, just in a T2 hull. Con: The shield boost bonus is however not of great use unless you have access to drugs and/or crystals, and awesome if you do.
Machariel - fast, agile, ganky and the single most drop-dead gorgeous ship in EVE. Con: expensive and a bit of a gank magnet like all BS are.

Zealot.
Meant to be a specialised laser boat weirdly is a specialised laser boat.
No wasted slots, the bonus give it a clear role over the harb. Works with beams or pulse.
Is awesome despite friggies up close being a hard counter in a nice bit of rock / paper.

Just to inject a bit more originality into the thread, I think the HICs are working exactly as intended. Only have driving experience in the Onyx, but it does exactly what you would expect a "heavy interdictor" to do.
Locks pretty fast, can hustle when it has to, and once it has a target held down that target isn't going anywhere any time soon thanks to the massive buffer it can fit.

Hurricane You can shield tank it, you can armor tank it, or nano it. Amazing ship with 2 utility high slot is win.

at the risk of bein laughed out of EVE for my idiocy, i say its a toss up tween the ORCA or ferox..... ferox is hard to fit right but it does its job perfectly. Its job is fire support/bait an tackle ship. sure, the drake does nice tackle but its not good bait. many will run from a drake. a rifter will attcke a ferox cause everypone thinks they are failfoxes so they actually bring in more kills. they have a good active/passive tank flexability, can use anyweapon in teh game without givin up a DM bonus because their only gun bonus is range. they are not the best at anythin really but their shear verssatility is their biggest advantage. Orca is essentially a mobile station. wat more could u ask for?

The eWar cruisers. Does what it says on the tin yet has lots of viable alternative fittings without being "lol".
Second would be tier1 BS .. cheap'ish pwn without being pigeon holed into single fits.
