EVE General Discussion

It used to be the Hurricane. It's a shame I rarely fly one anymore.

It's very hard to choose just ONE favorite ship since there's favorites for every situation.

For high sec shenanigans it's without doubt a gank Catalyst.

For roams i really do enjoy flying logi, but the most fun fleet(s) I've ever been in was blap Oracle fleet (Yes, grr T1 Tachyons). Ruined my sec status so much in those fleets, but totally worth it.

As for my personal favorite if I were to fly solo it would actually have to be the Hookbill. Have had a secret love for the Hookbill ever since I started playing EVE. So much fun to fly, and the versatility in fittings is awesome. You can surprise and fit light missiles and kite away, or fit dual MASB's and achieve all the lols. Or go for a TD/web/scram fit and ruin that blaster boats' day. Or my personal favorite, the armor tanked ECM burst fit (despite the "wtf m8" it actually works) And it's imo one of the coolest looking ships in the game.

To add though, I've never actually flown T3's in pvp before and that's something I really wanna do. And once I do I might actually get a new favorite ship.

Blaster fit, tackling merlin, superb low sec killing machine.

Yep. Wont be surprised to see the Ishtar nerfed. Kinda will be for my uses, since Garde DPS will be lowered. But then theres gonna be faction DDAs so... might even out. I'll probably go back to Gilas after the summer patch actually... Or at least try them out for a while. They have kind of an appealing rickety look as well, like the Millenium Falcon or Serenity.



Used to look way better before they put camouflage on it.

I think the very first ship I fell in love with, way back in 2004 when I made my first character, was the Vexor. Purely based on looks. It kinda looks like a shrimp. Its cool.

Ah ****, I don't remember my PVE tengu nor Maelstrom fits.

But they were built to do lv 4s. The Mael could shield tank and could be either arty or AC fit, without changing anything else on the fit.

The tengu could warp in, sit there, get all the aggro, never lose more than 2% shields and clear every room in about 20 minutes or so. It was good isk, but very boring. It wasn't that expencive of a fit either. 1.2b for the whole thing if memory serves. It wasn't too blingy.

People used to say the hurricane was basically just a better rupture and when insurance was good it really made no sense to fly a rupture. This was all pretty much true. But lots of people would stick around to try pick up a rupture kill that wouldn't stay to fight a hurricane - at least in fw space where there were lots of figates.

But I imagine flying the hurricane was much the same as flying a rupture only you were able to take on more stuff. I've seen some players do some pretty awesome stuff with hurricanes. I never did get around to flying one when they were great. I probably should have given it a try.

I am currently in love with the Sentinel and Deimos

The crusader was the first ship I felt all comfy in. Then they went and posted speed limits in the game.
