Ships & Modules

1x logi, either scimi or oneiros. preferably one of each, and fitted for solo work. with logi trained to atleast IV.
1x arazu faction longpoint or curse.
1x HIC, your choice of race.
1x Armageddon neutfit with the lows full of tank.
1x combat probing ship.

1) Dictor.
Honestly the only ship one ever need fly to make yourself useful to any null sec alliance. You need only really train the Dictor skill itself minimally, as the skill doesn't affect the ship's primary function- the bubble (where HIC skill influences the size of the bubble). Regardless of what my alliance/coalition undocks (except maybe Blops fleets) I know I have a place in that fleet by flying a Dictor. They are also dirt cheap and quite often, free from the corp/alliance.
Dictors are also a riot to fly. Fast, delicate, and manual piloting them is where doing more than hitting the Orbit really pays off. It offers the chance to play a specific and critical role in a fleet, and is much more interesting than being a 'ship of the line' being fleet warped about and spamming F1 as your contribution. Dictors often act as scouts, operating ahead or behind the main body, requiring the pilot to be able to act independent of FC commands.

2) Ceptors.
With the bubble immunity, they are just entirely too useful now to not be the SUV of ships. From moving small high value items, to chasing down pretty much anything on grid (or escaping it), these ships are indispensable for far more than PvP. They also allow for people to reship and rejoin fights much easier, since you will most likely survive the solo trip back from your clone station in a Ceptor. Especially nice for Dictor/EWAR pilots that tend to get blapped off the field quickly. Sucks to spend so long getting somewhere only to be out of the fight in 20 seconds, at least with a Ceptor you can wake up 15 jumps away and still make it back to fight some more.
Ceptors are cheap to fly and replace, reward manual piloting, and offer a specific role that often must act independent of the main fleet.

3) T1 Logi.
Buffs to logi have made it critical to any decent fleet. Like the Dictor, T1 logi ships are excellent 'bang for the buck' to train for since you will rarely be turned away from a fleet. As the logi skills themselves are only 2x, they are very fast to get to V. Since most pilots will be taking at least one racial cruiser to V fairly early on anyway, moving to T2 logi is pretty much one skillbook away.
Advanced logi is in high demand for some types of PvE such as Incursions, providing a logi 'job' other than just PvP. Compared to say, dedicated EWAR, which is much less common in PvE.

4) Money-Maker.
Whatever ship you bring home the bacon in. I keep mine comically cheap and spend my isk on PvP ships. Other people pimp their PvE rides. But everyone needs one.

5) Trophy Boat.
It's only a game, and if you want a Scorpion for no other reason than it actually resembles a giant space scorpion...then it should be in your hangar. Any ship you just have fun with. I've never had a fight in an AF that I didn't love, although I almost always end up webbed, scrammed, and on fire.

You're now suited for pretty much any content you wish to play AND can travel fast with that leopard.

Orca. Always Orca.

Good for Mining.

Hauling for traders.

Moving and hauling for mission runners.

Everything else is far less important.



Noctis.

It's a money maker.

Mission runners move less often.
Slow your missioning down so you don't deny too many in too short of time.

Builders get materials.
Good to start industrial career as you get more to work with per hour than miners if you clean for others.



Miner of choice. (( Mackinaw is my top pick ))

Mission runner of choice. (( Rattle snake is my top pick ))

T2 hauler of choice. (( Impel is my top pick ))


That combo ensures that a player is ready to make money and help in any group.

Basic Logi and EW ships deserve honorible mentions.
