So, you are new to EVE and want to know more about ship types or you have played for a while and want to know what I think? Maybe you disagree and want to discuss. Great - the more informative the better!
FRIGATES
I love frigates, especially for PVP and roaming around. There are so many types of frigates out there and they all serve a purpose. Yes there are some that people generally don´t fly, and for good reason, but others are great and if you pick your targets, you can take out much larger ships with a well fit frigate and some decent tactics.
I am not a great player, but by the use of available information, decent tactics and preparations one can be successful. One of the main strengths of the frigate is that it is fast, much faster than any other ship type in EVE. That gives you advantages, and the main one is that you can pick and chose your battles. Even low SP players can wreck havoc on the battlefield. The Minmatar Rifter is a powerful frigate. It is fast, agile, demands only low SP to work properly and most importantly, it is cheap so you can train your PVP skills by going out in them. Here is a nice starter fit :)
There are other standard frigates that are effective, but for the purpose, this is my favorite.
Moving forward you will get into Destroyers! Destroyers are in my opinion some of the funnest ships to fly. They have high DPS, good speed and some of them can even hit from afar. A Destroyer is a very capable PVP ship and it is inexpensive. My favorite standard Destroyer is the Trasher and my favorite advanced Destroyer is the Corax. You should read up on these and chose based on your weapon skills. A well trained Corax can hit with high damage light missiles from in the area of 100km but be just as efficient when closing the distance on your target! I tend to use a Destroyer when I leave 0.0 and head into low sec to lock for easy targets.
Here is a description of different Destroyers as described by the devblog;
Please share your favorite Frigates!
