What would you do in Eve if you could only have one ship ever.

Discounting the T3 cruisers and exotic platforms If your char could only fly one ship what would it be and what would you do with it?

I would take a Myrm and head into lowsec scanning, ratting, plexing and hunting for lowsec PI and tower owners.

I like the Myrm because it is so versatile and affordable; With a 100mn MWD and cloak it can pull of the cloak/MWD with very good chances, you can run a passive shield tank if the rats have neuts, and there’s plenty of cargo room with a few expanders.

Drones are a very slow primary weapon, but they don’t require ammo and they are very versatile. The rail gun buff has made that option more appealing. I have run artillery and lasers because I don’t like ammo but I keep coming back to rails for some reason.

I have always wanted to set my myrm up as a miner and see how it worked that way, with a mining link.

What would you fly?

I'd probably fly a nighthawk and gatecamp lowsec.

That said, if I could only ever have one ship I'd probably play another game.

I would fly a Noobship, because there is nothing they cant do.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Why discount T3 Cruisers ? Either we can choose from the available ships or we can't.

I'll take a Tengu.

He's trying to get you to pick a ship that cant change roles like T3 can.

I think I'd use either an abso or a damnation....once they've been changed of course...

Ferox... great slot layout, versatile, turret or launcher platform, Warfare Link modules if you want them.

Edit: curious how, with one exception, everyone has mentioned T2 ships (ignoring the T3 answer). In the last two days the only non-T1 ship I've seen in the Minnie FW front was a Wolf, and I was flying it. Says something there, no?

And +1 for the noob ship suggestion. :)

I'd get a sleipnir and leave it docked while I go make the forums a better place

Also Myrmidon, but only if they rolled back the drone nerf.

No T3 rule is lame. But to stick to the rules, I choose Manticore.

Pre-nerf Hurricane for all sorts of everything (PvP and PvE) if I had to choose a BC.

Maelstrom for all sorts of everything including making toasts and coffee if I had to choose a BS.

It depends.

If I lose this ship, do I get a replacement of the same type, or am I shipless after that?

OP should have said "If you go T3, you have to pick the subs you'll use forever" instead of trying to exclude them.

I'd fly a covert combat T3. I'm favoring the Loki right now for its web bonus, but I like all of them.

I'll take a Venture. It mines roids and tears.
