I haven't flown many races ships but i have to say the vexor is a great all rounder for any newer players that like a cheap drone cruiser. Good bonuses, slots and the guns can be cut back on to only a few to use in getting aggro before setting drones off. Even a miner can do well with it if your not able to use a barge if you have good drone skills. Plus its affordable for all the versatility you get.
Gotta agree with this. The vexor was a great ship when I got up to Cruisers for both missioning and mining.

I'd have to agree that all the Tier 2 BC are perfectly balanced against each other.
As a life long drake user, it's been great for missions/exploration when I first started and has been very good to me for piracy which I've been doing for a year or so.
The drake is very versatile and can fill a number of roles for pvp. It can reliably perform well in both gang and solo situations and is one of the most underestimated combat ships in EVE.

Yhea see, what your all doing here is utterly failing to comprehend the concept of "balance" as the op said about the Blackbird, it has great strengths but also significant flaws. Saying that, for instance the Apoc is great for everything means that, in fact, its NOT balanced.
And this lady's and gentlemen is why whe get constant unending streams of complaining about ships, if the're not brilliant at everything u moan that it's "unbalanced " and needs buffing
Guns and ships are fine, boost players :P
To answer the OP I actually struggle to fine an better example of a well balanced ship than the blackbird, the domi, if anything is overpowered, considering its only a tier 1 battleship, with a great tank, fearsome dps, and great inherent flexibility of lots of different drones.
I think I will take the easy option and say the bb's bigger brother the Falcon is the most balanced of the recon. Used properly in the right circumstances, it can be a battlewinner but goes squish very easily if u get something wrong or have a bit of bad luck.

First define "balanced"....You can't use a ships ability to fulfil multiple roles as an indication of balance. It has to be that any clear advantage a ship has in it's design is balanced by a disadvantage. I'd argue, that with a few exceptions, the ships in EVE are pretty well balanced on the whole.
The unbalancing factor is the pilot in all cases.

The Rupture is a well balenced ship. It is neither overpowered nor underpowered - I'm assuming that is what balenced is means in this context. It is a ship they got right and it is also generally fun to fight making for even more win.
I think the Stabber is overpowered. Probably the insane agility more than the speed. But forget I said that and never think of nerfing them.

If you train all the skills to fly a Typhoon effectively, you can fly just about anything.

The mighty Typhoon. From Missile spamming to sniping to drones to logistics to mining, is there anything it can't do?
-It's a minmatar boat that's at it's best spewing torps and rocking an armor tank!
-It's got enough low slots to fit extenders that can push it up towards 2000m3 in the hold. With 4x Miner IIs and 4xTorp launchers it can mine that Arkanor AND take out a triple BS spawn.
-It's also got enough low slots to fit a decent speed tank -- the Nanophoon '08 ain't what it used to be, but it's still respectable
-It's got a 175 m3 drone bay, enough for both a full rack of Berserker IIs AND a full compliment of medium armor rep bots, or 35 Warrior II's if you're crazy like that.
And it looks like a freaking KEG.

I think the Typhoon would be a good ship for balance sake.
Whatever it can do is heavily, heavily offset by the amount of time it takes to fly it well.

The only balanced ship is the Pod in its own class if you class the pod as a ship.
There is NO balanced ship as every ship dont have the same stats or slots and so can not ever be fully balanced vs all other ships in game.
Im sorry but logic says no ship in eve is 100% balanced other than the pod and thats only in its own class.
Death is great rember where all dying to get there. |

Id say most of the t1 cruisers are pretty well balanced for their roles. Its getting into t2 and bs that you find the disparity greater. Cruisers just seem to all fill specific roles but are still mostly balanced against others in their ship class.

Another vote for the humble Arbitrator. You can tank it, nano it, cap warfare it, long-range drone warfare it -- pretty much whatever you can think up.
And it's pretty. And dirt cheap.
+1 arbi
+10
Quite frankly no ship in all of Eve can compete with the all round goodness that is the Arbitrator. Need a role filled and noone in your gang has the relevant T2 ship skills? Call in the Arbi!
