Maller can have a wicked buffer tank so many people will avoid it fearing of bait.

The absolute best ship you could possibly fly as a new player is the Rifter-class Minmatar frigate. It is the fastest of the "Tier 3" combat frigates ("tier" in this case referring to the level of the skill required to fly it), and is generally accepted to be "the best" of them with its only real in-class competition being an Incursus or Punisher specifically fit to counter it. Barring some sort of unrealistically enforced one-on-one frigate duel, the Rifter is going to be your best bet and the best bang for your space bucks. Beyond its mere performance specifications, the Rifter holds a special place in the hearts of many power blocs in EVE, to include but certainly not limited to Goonswarm Federation, TEST Alliance, and our allied entities.

Beyond simply being an effective ship that any character can fly within a few hours of installing the game, it is a symbol of the idea that even brand new players can join and contribute to group PVP in a way that is simply unprecedented among the MMO community. A newbie in a cheaply-fit Rifter (or any other ship for that matter) can be the guy who catches a valuable enemy ship and holds him down long enough for the "big guns" to tear him to shreds; or, that same newbie in a Rifter can be the guy who just so happens to catch a scout, a cyno alt or some other mission-critical ship out of position at just the right time to disrupt the plans of a hundred-man fleet. Other ships can do this, but the Rifter has become the icon and the symbol of this phenomenon, and you would do well to become familiar with it.

Rules for flying a Rifter:
1. No being scared of anything
2. No not believing in yourself
3. Activate all your modules
4. Reship and do it again

I am too lazy to check to see if you are a genuinely new player, but if you are then don't be afraid to venture out into space with nothing but yourself and your Rifter. Just showing up in the right space in a Rifter and asking cute questions will get you showered with space money. If you decide to stick with the game past the first couple of weeks, look up one of the big nullsec powers and apply to join; tell them you have nothing but Rifters and a will to lose them hilariously, and give the finger to anyone who tells you that you're useless. You'll find a home, and you'll have lots of fun.

Caracal can be really cheap, survival rate the same.. Blackbirds but no really solo and not Amarr so kinda outside skill tree..
I think omens are cool but you'd see an arbitrator first.. Stabbers of the fleet variety of course..

Ruptures are cool but not suggested if you wanna MOAR flying around power that Pews..

I gets cramps wens type in eng.. srry

Although Arbitrator is a really good ship, if you are working towards flying a Harbinger at some point, the Omen and to a lesser degree the Maller are the Tier 1 Cruisers that you may want to focus on.

This is simply because the way you would fly these Tier 1 Cruisers will be mimicking to an extent the way you will be piloting the Harbinger later down the track.

The Arbitrator would be a good ship to train on if you were going to fly Curse/Pilgrim.
