Ships & Modules

I would like everyone's opinion on which ship is capable of filling just about every role in eve.

Ratting, missioning, running plexes, exploration, pvp, heck even mining occasionally.

Basicly one ship that can easily be fitted to do anything you are in the mood for.

Tengu. It can do all of those (one of the offensive subs gives it 5 turret hardpoints for mining lasers). You're better off getting 2-3 different ships for different roles though.

Myrmidon.

Amen.

The Dominix, hands down. You can fit that bugger in so many different ways, its staggering. Ewar Domi, Logi Domi, Neut Domi, Damage Domi to name a few. Some fits are more viable than others but I don't think any ship is as versatile. The Myrmidon and Typhoon come close, but they are still easily behind the ol' space potato.

I was leaning toward cross training into another race, so far sounds like gallente may be a good choice. Ive had fun as caldari but I am to a point where I'm sick of missiles.


Thanks for all the responses.

Dominix.
Hell, I just made a single fit capable of ratting, missioning, running plexes, exploration, pvp and mining. All at the same time.

Ratting? Yes, of course.
Missioning? Yes, it's active tanked.
Plexes? Yes, it's active tank is huge.
Exploration? Yes. Probe launcher, salvager, analyzer and codebreaker.
PVP? Yep. MWD, omni tank and a point.
Mining? Yes. It even has mining drones.

I still recommend you specialise, though.

any drone based ship with a good mix of high, meds and lows.

arbi, domi, phoon, myrm and the like.

Drakes can't use mining lasers, please read OP.

For the BC head towards Hurricanes as you will end up PVPing in one at some point. The Myrmidon is also a good boat but I'd spend the money on a Gila if you have decent Gal Cruiser skills.

Cross training into an omnivore Battleship then you need to consider drones. The cheap Domi can do a load and is very versatile - the huge drone bay gives all kinds of options for offence, defence and support. Good drone skills are also very useful regardless of which ship you fly but drone interface IV is a must have minimum to get decent DPS.

The real question should be who are you going to shoot? Minmatar boats have very good damage selection compared to Gall and Amarr but need good skills to truly shine. As you are shield spec'd already you should find the race easier to move into but if your gun skills are weak then there is a lot of training to be had.

The Amarr race is less usefull. The Arbiter(T1) and Pilgrim(T2) can be very good drone boats (see a pattern here?) and if BS mining is your thing then the capacitors and low slots on Amarr ships are very usefull.

TL;DR: Domi with lots of drone skills that are transferable to other races.
