Got it.

@erg cz @Jacob Holland @Silvetica Dian
Since C and G are better for PVE, and G will also work well for pvp + drones are easy to use, then I will go with [Algos-Vexor-Myrmidon-Dominix].

@Silvetica Dian
Surely I will do anomaly and other stuffs later...


The only problem with drones in PvP -- particularly drone ships that drop gardes (they're stationary little things that shoot a long ways) -- is that a lot of the PvP in EVE is roving 'gang' stuff, and the leaders of these groups often (though not always) want to move very quickly from waypoint to waypoint because they've gotten word of an enemy force. This renders drone-heavy ships in this style of PvP problematic due to the fact that you need to deploy and then pick up after yourself every time there's some chance of engagement... which makes it very difficult to keep up.

Again, it's not ALWAYS an issue, but it is something to think about.


But there are rails&blasters right?


Sure, but you need to always pay attention to the bonuses on individual ships. A Vexor or a Dominix are primarily intended to be drone boats; a Thorax and a Hyperion rail/blaster platforms. Almost all combat ships past frigate utilize dones, it's just that some use them as a primary weapon, and others as secondary support. So the ships that use them as support are going to be a lot more welcomed into most roving gangs than those that use them as a primary.

This is, again, generally speaking. Some gangs will roam with drone ships.

if you're a newer toon, id go:

Level 1 - destroyer/frig
Level 2 - battlecruiser
Level 3 - battlecruiser
Level 4 - battleship

The nice part about getting a battlecruiser early is you get extra fitting, tank, dps, drones, MJD (for escapes if you mess up), etc for the 2s that you will be crawling through anyway. Then as your skill points and standings get higher, you can fit it out for level 3s

Gnosis. Passive shield fitted Gnosis can blitz all L2 missions, it is a drone boat as well and the main thing - it is the most newbee friendly ship out there. All bonuses as if you have racial battlecruiser skills at 5. And it can be flown from the day 0.
In L3 missions at is still handy, though there are maybe better ships, like Prophecy or Myrm.
Not to forget it is GTFO able - medium micro jump drive will get you out of the range of the most L3 mission NPC.

Absolutely free head start for newcomers!. Just click the link and get extra 250 000 SP!

Thanks. And what does GTFO stand for?
Also, for lvl 4 missions, will vindicator be a good option?

ok here are some of my thoughts
vindicator are good for missions also u will be ignoring half its boni, i would probably choose the cheaper mega navy.
vindicator on the other hand ... ever heard of incursions?
for l4 missions i would say the ultimate goal if running them efficiently would be marauder or mach or for blitzing tengu.
For PVE missions i love mjd raven navy ultra tight fit and mostly dps tank but u r outside most of the damage, also its boring and u have to count your volleys.
Basically u can make alot of ships good mission runners. All have their downsides, Amarr line best mission boats u can get in amarr space (needs scorch). Minmatar and Caldari is the selectable damage type the pro, gallente has the best drone boats (drones still work when jammed but watch it not that they shoot the trigger).

So i hope my confusion helps abit ^^
