Hey all. So im basicly wondering what others would do in my situation and what they would choose to fly. Im at a point where im starting to get a feel for what i'd like to spend my time in game doing, and hope to make a Evemon plan that is somehow focused and good. I normally spend alot of time reading the forums, blogs, articles you name it, but none of this gets me closer to a definite answer, so fishing for some opinions and pointers here.
I'm focusing mostly on exploration, ded's and combat sites (non missions) for income, and planning to invest much time in small gang pvp, typically 2-15 people, and sub-bs sized ships. For now i hang out mostly in low sec doing sites in quiet areas, and looking to get into the pvp scene there, perhaps some in WH's and high sec wardecs.
So if you could choose lets say two factions ships (Amarr/Caldari, Gallente/Minmatar etc), which two would you choose that fits with these goals, and what two or three weapon systems would you invest time into? (Thinking of for example Lasers/Missiles , Blasters/Projectiles here)
So far i've been leaning towards Amarr and Minmatar, training for most of the sub-bs sized ships of these two factions (AF's,Inty's,Recons,HAC's,Logistics,Stealth Bombers and so forth), and specializing in Lasers/AC's and a bit into missiles.
But am i missing something here? Would any other choices, faction combos (for pirate faction ships), weapons...etc be better for Exploring and small gang pvp?
What do you guys think? Help me make up my mind ^^

Depends how much your willing to invest really.
Tengu is a great exploration (cloaky fit especially) and small gang PvP ship, 100mn AB active tank fit. See Garmonation 8 and Endless Subversion's Drake 3.0 videos, both available on youtube now.
Apart from that, Cyclones are fun solo with Blue Pill + Crystals and ofcourse Drakes.
As far as faction ships, Cynabal and Macharial take the cake personally.
So really, Minmatar and Caldari are the way for me. Shields + missiles + projectiles synergize really well for both races.

The Tengu is beyond question the only ship you should ever look at.

There isn't a lot of room for pirate ships other than the Angel ships.

I would personally get your Tengu/Drake skills up (HML/HAM+Missile Support) and then swing on over to pick up the Amarr T2 cruiser lineup and T2 lasers. I could see someone suggesting T1 Minmatar ships instead though.

Funnily enough that's exactly how my character is at the moment and I love my lineup with Amarr and Caldari. But I am planning to go Minmatar next.

Ha - I went (on Liang) Gallente, Caldari Hybrid, Amarr, Minmatar, Caldari Missiles. IMO Caldari and Amarr have been the most rewarding.

Being as I'm Gal/Amarr and my alt's Amarr, I know of nothing more fun to fly and terrifying to encounter in a small gang than a Curse (falcons won't point you, are luck based and can be driven off easier, Curse leaves your races BCs, T3s, etc dead in the water). And the Arazu is also great if you can get it just right, so they are pointed, can't lock you, and can't mwd within 20km. |

My second oldest account went caldari hybrids(to be different) with just enough missiles kills to get by. Then hit gallente to make better use of the hybrids, changed my goal for that character and did BS-size missile skills to mission *****. Then did amarr for the sansha ships, and finally minmatar because there were never enough rapiers around, JUST as the speed/web nerf hit... That character has yet to get non-torp non-cruise missile skills past 4(except for the non-range support skills).
On that account I flew mostly gallente before the global hp buff, loved them. Still flies them a good lot of the time but its always drone boats for some reason...
This account is pure amarr. Made at the height of amarr suckage, on purpose. The khanid ship changes were welcome, if for anything, I'd have more skills to train. Completely empty missile tree at the time.

If you're deadset on one of the characters going down a Minmatar route, you could also go for a Scimitar (which also paves the way to other minmatar t2 hulls), and grab a Phantasm, Tengu or something on the other character. ---

Caldari and Amarr would be a good choice. Train missiles and lasers.
Between those two races the have a good ship for everything you might want to do in eve.

I associate exploration with scanning and cloaking.
So, force recons are for you. I'd choose Pilgrim/Curse or Arazu/Lachesis, but its me
