My favorite battleship is usually the one that drops the best named loot, or in PA case, megacyte

I'd say for EW Scorp/Raven best, not a real EW'er myself. Tempest is an excellent gunboat/shield tank since you can vary ammo for shields and armour, plus dont need any real cap for firing weaps, just being lots of ammo ;)
Apoc prolly best bs for mining, though seen alot of peeps use dom prolly cause big drone cap and lower price, its great for safe space mining. It more depends on high you fit the slots. Basic roles i use 'buildouts' for are: NPC hunt, Mining, PvP art tank, PvP EW
You can prolly figure out where mods fit in each of those categories

apoc for main fleet gunship/tank, scorp for ew/ani-ew support, and mega for up-close melee assualts.

As much as I hate to be mean. IS IT THAT HARD TO CHECK THE FORUMS ON A VERY ORIGINAL TOPIC. kinda like i own xyz ship, i'm stupid how do i set it up. your is another good example. not only is it a classic, its classic you didn't say for what.
Proper syntax:
Hi my name is <yourname>,
I own <xyz ship>,
(now sound like you have some experience in what your talking about please by the time you are looking for a battleship, you do lots of research etc, if its cruiser u are given more slack)
I am wondering if <shipnamegoeshere> is good for <PURPOSE> (yes you give a purpose, like npc hunting, pirating/ew, camping(ganking (fast dmg)), PvP (in general)
Hopefully after that, you can get a more defined answer :o Thus you have not found your answer ALREADY in this wonderful forum provided by our pals @ ccp.
Now to be nice.
Your gallente, if its your first battleship, get a dominix.
When your more experienced you can upgrade to mega or trash the domi and get a different class ship.
-hybrids are getting love next patch
-shield tanks well
-lots of drones(multiple waves)
-good miner for price(also with harvs + also can fit heavies)
//
-weak shields (like armageddon, train engineering)
-weak grid (engineering skill)
-looks like a turd
-is the bonus good? i wouldn't know :s

tempest probably dishes out the most damage, it has strong shields, it's weapons are powerful and use no cap, it has a good slot layout.
it's fast, it locks fast, its signature radius is small, it's agile.
really there's not many downsides at all to the tempest aside from the fact you need to level 4 minmatar bship and level 4 in all your gunnery skills to be effective, id use atleast 1 dmg mod as well to get that ROF down on the 1400mm howitzer
overall, best ship imo (typhoon is good too for same reasons)

Im a tempest pilot the mo(i change alot, so not giving away ship type to my enemies ) and have all skills that affect this ship at lvl 4 or lvl 5.... yeah, it works real good, its a good dmg dealer.
BUT.
IMHO a shield tanked scorp is the cream of the crop, iv been testing various loadouts for the tempest against a scorp, and i just dont see how u can win, im thinking the only real way to do this, is by using smartbombs for the missiles, but are u gonna be able to drop the scorps shields??..
seems this is what u need to make urself unbeatable in the scorp=
LOW= 3 cap relays, 1 counterbalanced.
MED= 1 xl, 2 em tacs, 2 thermal tacs, 1 kinetic tac, 2 amps.
HI= 4 arbies, 2 1400mms.
In this case, the scorp is the best ship in the game, and thats not mentioning its amazing at EW.
MOI, i know, but the ability to absorb DMG, outways the ability to deal it.

Drop an amp for a heavy cap booster and dump the counterbalanced for another cap relay and the setup is even better, darth.
Or use 4 power diags

... Cap neutralizers; work especially good if your own ship doesn't use cap to fire and has superior recharge rate (scorpion with her 4 low slots and the mid slots occupied with shield gear can't do much here)
If the Scorpion cannot harden or boost her shields, she dies; simple.

Hmm, gonna have to get some large neutralizers, kit the Civilized Unrest (Typhoon class) with some close damage guns and play around. Wonder how that'll work out.
