So basically I have 5b isk to spend on nothing but pvp. I'm in faction warfare so flying capitals is out of the question. So far I have a fully faction fitted Proteus, a Dramiel, A megaTHONG, a domi and a vindicator but the vindi isnt fitted yet, maybe I think ill just sell that, because a faction / complex fitted vindi is abit too lush to be flying around in faction warfare lol.
I dont know what else to buy. Please list some ships which are fun to fly, the must be gallente and please post some fits for them if you wish.
Slowly but surely cross training into minny so the macherial will be on that list soon too.
Also, plated ships, do I pay out for a LG / HG slave set?
Let me know your thoughts.

If you can fly a Dramial, what about the Worm? It's simple, it's fun, and it combines the joys of a drone boat with a little bit of the shield tanking/missile loving of Caldari.
Plus, if you find you like it, you can work towards Gila and Rattlesnake.
Also, why stick with PvP. I mean it sounds like you are looking for more to do. Why not spend about a billion, get 3 plexes and start an alt. Make it some sort of industrial alt that can mine, or research (tough because you need a POS in that case), run PI, start corps for fun and profit, or just try a new way of running PvP (you went Gallante, why not Min or Amarr?)

Buy normal ships, lots of them.

That, and maybe buy a separate char for FW.
FW can be more of a slugfest than other pvp. Faction/pirate ships just aren't worth the price. Except maybe dramiel.

You could enter the lotteries for the rare ships like BIG and T'Amber and probably plenty of others I can't think of at the moment. You could also gamble it away in EOH Poker.
It's better to have fun spending your money than just buying shinies =)

Confirming that it is possible to get rid of extra ISK using EOH Poker.
It is also possible to buy PLEXs to fund your educational journey which ends in finding out you a degenerate gambler, but I digress.

Find a ship producer and buy bulk.
You can get stuff much cheaper if you are willing to buy it 50-100 at a time.. producers like quick&fast (guaranteed) sales so buying bulk (as in RL tbh) helps reduce overhead costs and gets you much closer to productioncost than as an end-market consumer.
Buy ie. 50-100 battlecruisers of one type (I like hurricanes) and fly them non-stop. Experiment with them, learn with them, learn to maximise their potential. I guarantee you that once you run out of stock you will be much more adept with the chosen ship =)
It's a good way to invest your ISK into something fun AND educational, also having many on spare will cause you to be a bit more loose about losing them and will thusly put you in more trial/error situations rather than 'flight' (/fight) situations so you will better learn the limits of your ship and your flying skills than you do by over/underestimating your enemies.
Ain't no substitute for experience I say. __________________________________________________

But I can produce you 101 Faction fit pvp shuttles for just under 1.3b
Now..if you went to the market window I could nary see but maybe you'd be spending a skosh more than 2.7b for the same accoutrements... now come now my fine young gent... you can plainly see that be a fine deal for a fine chap.

Depends on how much you want to shell out. LG Slaves (including the slot 6 hardwiring) can increase your armor by 33%. HG Slaves can increase your armor by as much as 50% (I think).
Make a fully "brick" fit Proteus and laugh as enemies try to chew away at your 375k ehp (more if you have someone with armor links in system).
Better yet, get a carrier (specifically an Archon). A slave set of any grade will make it so that nothing short of a few dreds and/or supercarriers will only tickle you. _______________________

i actually have to agree with lady spank here.I had a rich corpmate( over 100 bil isk) who flew faction fitted pirate ships all the time. You die a few times in heavily faction fitted ships and it gets out and everyone starts gunning for you for a nice payday.
You would have more fun IMO flying normal t1 and t2 ships and trying out different races and fits. I am not saying dont fit faction by any means. Just i would limit it and not go overboard.
Also you will got through 5 bil fairly fast fly expensive fits.Even spending 250 mil a ship thats only 20 ships.
