Astero it’s high quality white trash and it’s an excellent exploring ship and killer it also has a decent skin collection ---

T1 non-pirate: Tristan - I quickly realised how useful drones were in PVE T1 pirate: Astero - cloaky drone carrier, great for exploration. The frigate I usually fly: Scalpel ---

Three for me: 1. Astero - great for exploring, hacking, having a general ‘look-round’ outside of hi-sec, etc. 2. Tristan - good drone ship for hi-sec combat sites (also SOE Arc). 3. Incursus - brilliant for lo-sec ratting - get in fast, orbit at 500, laugh maniacally while you massacre an npc battleship ! ---

Damavik. Unreal performance for a frigate that can fit two neuts and doesn’t need a damage mod to hurt. ---

Heron on my Jita thief alt. 🎣 😈 As an exploration frigate it has nice cargo space for stolen loot in opposition with other frigate types and as such can also be fit for combat (or regular) scanning; can fit enough salvagers and has bonus to them (may also include a tractor beam to grab blue loot); has five mid slots for shield extenders, scrams, sensor boosters and a prop mod in the required combination as needed; the low can be fitted for extra tank / with signal amplifier / cargo extension / agility as needed also; and it can field three light drones as well. 👍 ---

Vengeance, the thing is a little brawling brute. I solo’d a hookbill, hound and wolf all at once in a dual rep fit one, best solo fight ive had in eve. would pick it over any other frigate for pvp (other than an alliance tournament frig, those things are mental) ---

Tristan. I brought the kitey Tristan fleet to a number of groups both as a member and an enemy. Some notables are BNI ran them for a bit after I took renters in them to their space for a few weeks. Wingspan, euni, rabble (naturally). Marmite in occasion. Why is it my favourite? Because it used to be super fast shield fit and turned well. Things fast enough to catch it rarely could handle 5 light drones ---

T1 - Incursus, that rep bonus lends itself greatly to face tanking. Couple that with blasters and you truly have a beautiful thing. Faction/empire - Fed navy comet even nastier than little bro incursus, minus the rep bonus though. Pirate - Garmur, who doesn’t love pointing something at the edge of targeting range and orbiting at 5k/s while you chip away at your helpless victim. T2 - wolf absolutely shreds ratting vnis and even ishtars (much tougher). You want to fix afk ratting? Hand out the wolf. The ones fighting sansha rats anyway. ---

I’m going to be weird and say Anathema. Throughout my “eve career” it’s the ship I’ve flown the most in fleets and when I was in an alliance. As an “eyes and ears” scout it may not be the best one but as an overall package to me it is, besides it looks funky. ---
