Frigate Hull : Condor - 4 mids and a great base speed make it an awesome po-boy fast tackler. It costs less to fit and fly than a few rounds of faction ammo, and can ruin just about anyone's day Twisted

A close second being the Amarr Navy Slicer, for basically the same reasons as the Condor, but it can deal some pretty respectable damage as well.

Cruiser Hull : Arbitrator. A lot of ways you can go with this. Shield tanked nano/neuting ship, 1600MM plate brawler, Ewar boat, drone support, plus room for a flight of salvager drones once you win. Perhaps my favorite thing about this ship is the TD bonus. I'll fit 3 tracking disruptors to it and make those gunboats sitting ducks while still contributing drone DPS. And keeping with my cheapness, it's almost as annoying with a cheapo t1 fit as it is with a shiny T2/rigged fit.

Battleship Hull : Abaddon. Hands down. The looks, the bonuses, and the stats just scream "Battleship." When one of these things come around, everyone gets a little jumpy. Because you know it has some insane EHP (arguably the best non faction subcap ship), and a rack of bonused Mega Pulse IIs looking to send you home in a pod. And for PVE, it can shoot far enough for any mission, and tank whole rooms should you accidentally shoot that trigger spawn.

Vexor, then subsequently the Ishtar. Really enjoy flying both of those around.

Big fan of the Wolf/Jaguar myself. Got my first solo kill in a Wolf (a Navy Omen supported by a Stabber). The Jaguar took a little bit longer to get used to, but it was my go-to ship when running around in Faction Warfare.

Still, probably my favorite ship is the Tempest. There's just something about seeing the Tempest right itself as it makes a turn that just make me think "S**ts about to get real..", and the man your guns theme song from Pirates of the Carribean (sp?) starts going off in my head.

Machariel.

4km/s gank battleship with cruiser maneuverability and BC scanres. The flying experience is hard to describe, something you have to experience.

The Orca. Before the Noctis, I used to bring it in missions and salvage them as I went. It closes wormholes. Its great PvP bait. Its my favorite ship to steal. It hauls ships and stuff. The skin is sexy.

I even had a dream that I stole an Orca IRL with my brother once. The guy called the cops on us but the cops let us go. Because its totally legal to take an Orca.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

The Maelstrom was the first ship I saw that actually looks like a battleship.

I love the Hookbill and Kestrel for their looks. I'm still too new to EVE to know what ships are good in performance but currently I'd have to say the Kestrel is my favorite ship. I know it's stupid, but Caldari exhaust trails blow every other race out of the water.

This is a good thread.

And a difficult one to answer.

The Huginn is probably my favourite overall, the best gang ship to have around, great kiting ability and damn hard to tackle.

The Loki is an amazing solo boat or armour support ship, I love it, and it looks so sexy with that autocannon sub.

And finally, the antisupport nano Zealot, because nothing fucks frigates more than 50k scorch with 450 DPS.
