Another great ship is the **Atron!**  
Great speed, awesome Align Time, tough nut to crack!  
Perfect for making bookmarks!

If New Eden was real, the Atron would be my ship of choice.

I can only imagine what happened here.

I’m guessing alt flag bombing.

It should be considered an exploit.

From time to time? Seems you lose it a bit more than “from time to time”. but..you play how you like. If you’re enjoying yourself, that’s what matters. Maybe I’ll run into you one time when you’re in your proteus. We can have some epic fun. 😋

They already took out the captain’s quarters. I think the whole WIS idea is pretty much toast. Besides, we need people to undock and be out engaging in the game, IMO.

Came across this today. I agree with some of the choices and disagree with others, but its an interesting comparison of various ‘best’ ships…

Does not take away from the fact that my epithal’s far out preform for isk. No risk, no gain. Play as you please but don’t try and tell me in any way manor matter or form what is the best ship in the game when all you do is mine.

I didn’t try and tell you. I was just posting in a thread you didn’t create, which is still lawful last time I checked.

I feel bad for the game if the only ships that players want are ships you can just chill with or dps with.

I miss my cloaking Orca, my battle Noctis. Am I the only one who flies a Noctis _into_ battle? 🤣

There. Is. No. Best. Ship.

The hard part is staying with the game long enough to fly them all. You can cc in. but that’s just a good way to lose them without experience from what I’ve seen.

Best of luck to all new players! Find what you like to do and chose the ship for it.
