Currently I'm in a typhoon for ratting purposes. When I first bought it I had t2 cruise missiles skills, barely any gun skills, and nil for drone skills. (3 med drones lol.) I slowly built up my gun skills so FITTING large guns was an option. Rats began dying much quicker. Now I have heavy drones. Rats die in less then a minute. The typhoon is potentially the nastiest ship in the game, it just takes a LONG time to get all your skills where they need to be. If you fit for damage, as in 4x t2 cruise, 4x t2 large ac's, and t2 heavy or t1 sentry drones; you will put the hurt on ANY BS out there. Don't listen to whoever said minmatar Battleships were bad. They have a strong point and that is shear multi faceted firepower. And with 7 low slots you can fit a typhoon for alot of gank, or alot of tank. It's your choice.
Rupture is hands down the most violent cruiser in the game, damage bonus, decent low slots, and 40 m3 of drone space. With enough powergrid and cpu for artillery and gyro's.
A jag is blazing fast, an incredible shield tank (75/60/40/60), and if you put a med shield extender on it, and tackle in it, NO ONE short of an officer smartbomb equipped carrier will kill you before your buddies show up. EVER.
The list of ships goes on and on. In every class except industrial you can make a case for the best ship of each of the four races.
Frigate: Rifter
Cruiser: Rupture
Battle Cruiser: Hurricane
Recon: Huggin (yeah yeah, the curse is awesome.)
Assault: Jaguar
Heavy Assault: Vagabond
Command Ship: Sleipnir
Cov Ops: Cheetah
Battleship: Pick one, they all rock.
Interceptor: Claw (fastest ship in game along with vagabond.)
I have absolutely no experience with capital ships, but if you get to that point just be happy you are in a capital ship.

Train Gallente, Minmatar is not worth it especially if you have a character that started not too long ago as you will need a lot of skillpoints to be even remotely close to other races ships performance.
Minni ships are outclassed by every other race with very few exceptions, most prominent being the vaga.
Yes because playing the game on "easy" is what everyone wants to do. LAME. A minmatar pilot with their skills in the right place will have ALOT of fun. Don't listen to this blaster drone loving dolt.

the fitting requirement (low cpu and pg) and the split weapon system (you need 2x times of other ship dmg mods to keep) are a severe drawback... for example the setup with cruise missile in a gank phoon using 4 dmg mods and hail/fury will barely reach 1k dps (with quite poor range) while a mega with 3 dmg mods and void will do 1300 dps (and same poor range)
Have you tried t2 cruise with fury ammo, then ac's with gyros? That way you don't need ballistic controls. Another option is to make a domi-phoon with all that drone space. Plus the phoon is faster then a domi.
