You’ll need a REAL pvp ship - most likely a covetor, unless you can afford a hulk

I would suggest flying a Procurer as many gankers are scared to pvp you in one of those.

Last time I got ransomed, I tried to explain to them that buying the ship at the price I named would net them 100,000m more than the amount they wanted me to pay them.

Silly dicks shot me instead of taking the offer and got iron scraps.

Im starting to think shooting folks is more in demand than money.

Common folk who appear nowhere…

Sounds like this silent majority I keep hearing about

Anyway, back to the question.

50 ships, what hull?

Navy Hookbill. Good range of engagements, lots of practice with range control, speed, tackling. Gives you a little leeway by how good it is in average engagements, but lots of room to excel in it.

Catalyst.

Best ship in the game.

Aerodynamic, turns on a dime.

Top speed exceeding 2000 times the speed of light.

I would second the hookbill. A ton of different  
ways to configure it to deal with different targets for brawling and nano stuff. Can eat destroyers as well.

You could do well with a comet and to a lesser extent a firetail. I wouldn’t go straight t1 frig, they generally aren’t quite capable enough to deal with anything other than other t1 frigs

T1 frigs require careful matchups, good piloting, and good positioning, and when done this way they can punch up and kill faction and T2 frigates.
