8 Virtues

So I'm looking to start a new char to get into PvP. I have 3 industry chars with lots of income to rely on and wish to expand into other areas of game play. I have a grasp on the core skills and what I need to train but I'm not quite sure what I'd like to focus on. I've done the Caldari shield/missile thing on this char so I was leaning towards guns and armor though I am partial to shields.

Amarr with face melting lasers sounds fun but is being locked into one damage type a handicap? Minmatar seem good as well and you get to choose damage types. I am looking to focus around Battlecruisers and possibly battle ships after that. I know the choice is mine but any stories on what they like and why would be helpful.

What ship and weapon type do you have the most fun with?

Can also be fit with arties etc, its truly diverse.

Beyond that the rest of the minmatar line up is solid PVP, ruptures, stabbers, Stabber Fleets are my favourite cruiser, they shred frigates.

For me, fun pvp is pvp that involves lots of maneuvering and speed rather than just sitting there pressing F1 etc. If you're similar, then Minmatar is the way to go. And I'd agree with Danny that the Hurricane is the one to specialise in as you will be able to increase your fun by switching loadouts to try out different tactics. BC V, medium autocannon specialisation IV will be very worthwhile. Medium artillery hurricane loadouts are great fun too, to apply damage instantly to targets at any lockable range.
