EVE online has many many types of ships anyone can fly with the proper skills. Many very good, many very pretty to look at.

And taking inspiration from Top Gear's The Worst Car in the History of the World special.

Without breaking the bank in modules or going beyond what the ship can do with T2 modules. What would you nominate for the worst and most useless ship in EVE?



My choice is: The Caracal/Cerberus.

I like Caldari ships alot, but i cannot think of an uglier and more useless ship than that. Not much power, not much in defenses, not much speed even MWD fit. What ever sleek design it is supposed to have is completely lost in a ship that looks like an over sized coffee stir stick. Very little improvement in its T2 variation with a rather hideous paint job.


Close second choice is: The Rorqual

For being so useless that its role can one day be replaced by a simple POS module overnight if CCP chooses to make one. Giving you a useless, very expensive ship that cannot access high sec and has not other strategic role that is not already filled by other capital or smaller ships. I do not find the ship ugly however, so it is not my number one. (New paint job would hurt, stripes of JMC Red Dwarf red anyone?P)

The Caracal is awesome, you must be doing something wrong.
My vote goes to.... hmmm... Iteron MK I? I dunno, after all the rebalancing it's hard t pick out bad ships

while (CurrentSelectedTarget.Status == ShipStatus.Alive) {

     _myShip.FireAllGuns(CurrentSelectedTarget);

}

Actually, the Caracal is one of the best cruisers right now, if not the best.

The current worst combat ship is probably one of the close range inties. Even the arguably best, Taranis, should be getting it's hull handed to it against most of the balanced frigates.

I like it best when the beats are naked.

The Bellicose, the Minmatar target painter cruiser.

The Munnin, the T2 Rupture. It's absolutely worthless now that new BCs, T3, BS tracking rigs, and countless other new additions have overshadowed its role. Ask yourself, have you ever seen a Munnin?

I forgot about the echelon, what was it designed for again? Last time I saw one was in the DUST 514 intro movie. I don't think I've seen one in EVE space in a long long time.

Ranis is still a fun ship to flyBlink

For worst ship I would go for the skiff. Its not that its a bad ship, just a pointless one.

Iteron I and perhaps Iteron II.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Hmmm.. Well Kil2 who is probably the best solo pvper I've seen would strongly disagree. Oh yeah he know's his s**t that much CCP hired him.

Watch the video from around 8mins 20. And then watch all of his other videos. You want regret it!!!

Belli is still half decent as an anti-frig platform, not that the caracal is not better at the job...but I totally agree with you on the Munnin. I have one from back in my 0.0 days when it was a mainstay sniping hac but these days there is absolutely no role for it that is no totally better suited to a diffrent ship....

I wonder if moving 1 or 2 of those Highs to Mids would help her.

Eagle is up there too.

Phantasm <- Terrible Pirate cruiser with terrible capacitor stats and a horrific shield regain. Every othe pirate cruiser will tear it a new one as well as most T2 cruisers and even T1.

Amarr Frigs with only 2 mid slots are fairly useless too but not as bad as the Phantasm.
