Algos. For some reason it reminds me of a WWII U-boat. I like using missiles but the ship itself never gets used.




Derp! Corax is of course what I meant!Smile

The Myrmidon/EOS.

I love that look more than any ship in game by a mile.

I have no use for those hulls.
When I first ran L3's the Myrmidon was solid but got the Gila now.
Maybe the EOS at some point but will probly gather dust as I fly shield fleets most of the time.

Would love to see a Gurista version of that ship.

Algos? You mean the Corax, aye? XP




I like the Gnosis, Cuz space whale=only whale, I used to fly it a lot but it's been mostly Proteus online as of now.

I love looking at the corax, but indeed, I can't really ever feel like it is useful.

can't really think of a ship that I love, but want to fly more. if I had to give an honest answer it would likely be nearly every ship

Ok here is a question, what ship do you think looks unbelievably gorgeous and would love to fly more of but that you don't get to actually fly it because it doesn't work for your play style or opportunities?

Mine is the Naga, it just looks gorgeous Nice flat side just make the kind of Turret boat I would love to fly but I have never even flown one because I have never been able to convince myself I could ever use it.

What's yours?

All things Amarr, Cruiser and up.

They are superb fleet but solo they suck. Tanky as hell but in EVE that doesn't convert to win sauce. You die slower or never at all and your enemy just goes away but you don't get bounties for repelling an enemy and you don't get mails for it either.

Not many people in factional warfare use the Omen in fleets right now. I absolutely love the new special addition one with the black/blue shiny color. I have one, set my graphics to max and flew around to take screenshots, haven't used it for anything else.

I'll second this.

I'd like to be able to use the Tornado. Love the look of it. I might just join a ganker gang just to fly in a fleet of them..

Agreed. Its one of the best looking ships in the game, Can think of no reasons to fly it over other frigs. I might pick one up and run some level 2s / 3s if I ever need to raise my standings for a new npc corp other than that meh.. its not a great ship, the only thing its good for a long range warp disrupting, yet fit a AB or MWD and you have no room for both tank and warp disrupting. I just don't get this ship I really don't I want to fly it but its I see no way for it to be viable in pvp can not compete with assault ships and interceptors or other pirate frigs.

The mordus legion ships should have been some kind of covert ops ships. The Garmur should have been some kind of pirate bomber, and the pancake a pirate battle ship should have been a pirate black ops ship. The cruiser could have been similar to a T3 cruiser that has been fitted for combat scanning and covert ops cloak.

Cruor, Ashimmu, Bhaal - and to a lesser degree the Pilgrim/Curse.

I really like the concept of ships that target enemy cap, either as a fleet comp or in a support role, but it doesn't seem to be a popular concept so it's rarely fielded. For the faction ships they are a bit overpriced so from an ISK efficiency point of view not always worth fielding, and the T2 versions seem to be unpopular. Which is a real shame as the hulls and skins are among the best in the game. It's likely due to the mechanics behind Nos/Neuting having been broken for a while, fingers crossed these might make a comeback if the tweaks are effective. A Bhaal fleet with proper support would be an absolutely monstrous thing to fight in the right hands.

Be careful in Pulsar systems, you might get Pod Flu.

Why a ganker gang? Why not just gank WTs with them?

Arty, Gyros and Sebos, they jump through the gate in their little stabbed plexing frigs and you pop them like pimples.

I knew a few guys that used to do just that when they first came out.

Well, the Nighthawk did look better before the tech 2 Drake, but its meta was great since you could do several things with it.
- It was almost as good as Tengu for plexing;
- I've used it extensively to rat in nullsec when I was in a nullsec alliance;
- I've used it to run Level 4 missions whenever I'm in highsec;
- and it could be used in PvP (one of the best PvP videos I've watched: Fon Revedhort presents The Rocket Wizardry and the sequel Rocked Wickedness part 1 and part 2);

The usability of the ship is pretty much ruined now Sad
