I hear a lot about how everybody uses Caldari because they are PVP masters and missiles kill everything.
But what race's ships get used the least? I hear minmitar complaining about split weapon systems, gallente complain about drone bugs, and amarr complain about lack of versatility. So, just out of curiosity, whose ships get used the LEAST?

The minmatar definitely have the least-used battleships, or did the last time definitive numbers were released. Both Minmatar BS together made up <10% of the total in existence. ________________________________________________

Wow, I didn't expect it to be THAT much of a difference. What about other ship types, and overall ship usage?

numbers that were in e-on #002 Armageddon: 7,370 Apocalypse: 12,976 Typhoon: 2,393 Tempest: 5,920 Scorpion: 7,5375(must be a number too much in there, wrote it as it is in the book) Raven: 14,130 Dominix: 7.666 Megathron: 10,411
These numbers are quite old, considering they're from eon #002(hmm when was that? only thing I know is winter 05/06) I can imagine Typhoon has become more popular since then with the changes they got and the changes to tanking prolly had some effect as well. Getting updated numbers would be nice.

I often see scorps in PVP. Not all that often do I see a raven.
Much more likely to see an Apoc or domi in PVP in my experiance.
As the numbers show, I seldom see minmitar Bs's in PVP. ___________________________________________ The deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts there's no more pain. ___________________________________________

Caldari are by no means PvP masters. On the contrary, many caldari pilots migrate to other races ships for PvPing. They are good for npcing though, as their missile boats are usually relatively easy to set up and have nice shield tanks. They also have the ECM card, which is very good for PvP. But meh, most of the cladari ships in the statistics are ratters, from my experience. ------------------------------------------------ -OCC- |

The reason you see a lot of Caldari BS is the whole ratting thing. I fly a Raven to earn money (tried both 'phoon and 'pest, but neither could do the job anywhere near as well as the Raven). However if I were to PvP in a BS at this time, I'd take a 'phoon over anything else with my skill levels.
The Tempest is very underated too. However a lot of this is to do with the sheer number of SP needed to make a Minmatar BS work as well as another races BS.
As for the Bellicose, I rareley see them about, but a friend of mine manufactures all minmatar cruisers, and reckons that the Bellicose is a good seller (maybe we have a few Huginn / Rapier manufacturers in the area).
The ships I think I see the least are the cargo / miner frigates (Burst, Navitas, Bantam, and whatever the Amarr have in that role).

almost every tech1 amarr cruiser, except maybe the arbi
the inquisitor anyone?
coercer?
I can only speak for amarr in the end. But if you dont think Ravens are useful in PVP, go fight Burn Eden sometime. Ive seen the typhoon and tempest do some amazing things. Right now, to me, the BS i least fear on the field is the apoc, and its one of the only 2 BS I can fly

Swing and a miss.
The Bellicose is never, ever used in combat, afaik. I've never seen one staring me down.
I shot a Serpentis rat the other day and went "wtf did I just kill?" because I've only seen one Exequror. I think that's the ship, spelling is bound to be off.
Typhoons are rare, PvP ravens are getting rarer from what I have seen, Minmatar ships in general are fairly rare (at least the T1 ones). ---------------------------- The opinions expressed by Nico do not reflect his corporation. He's just an ass.

I've only seen a bellicose in PvP once. This was right after RMR and the introduction of all the new T2 ships, so I thought it was one of them at first.
Didn't stop my gang from melting it in short order. I don't even think I got a lock. -Wrayeth

Edited by: Twilight Moon on 14/09/2006 19:12:03 I killed a Bellicose in PvP once. I got a killmail to prove it!
It was pathetically easy....the embarassing part was that he agressed me. Its just a really, really crap ship at the minute.
The Exequror isnt bad though. I use one to shift stuff about between stations occasionally

I would just like to add that the "burst" (Minmatar Mining Frigate) is not rare in the slightest, I myself have several hundred of them in my collection (not for resale) They are infact my most common ship ;p
