Logistics Cruisers. There were no viable T1 variants at the time so T2 was the only way to do it.

Prowler as I was doing a lot of hauling in and out of low sec at the time.
I remember now. It was interceptors of all things. Everyone was so worried about being top damage, but the targets were starting to get away. You cant kill what you cant catch!

Bomber was my first t2 ship trained.
My first T2 ship I trained to use was the Cheetah Covert Ops Frigate for exploration. I used that for a little while but really needed an exploration ship that could still cloak and do combat as well. So I then trained Rapier Force Recon Cruiser and used that for quite a long time as my exploration ship.
Black Ops battleship for me until I realised I needed a blops cyno alt, sigh, sometimes you just cannot train stupid. Second ship was a blockade runner (Prowler) a ship I could use lmao.

Flycatcher, because I wanted a light missile destroyer and the Corax didnât exist yet. Still my favorite ship.
Guess it was the Stiletto.

I was dithering and researching on whether to use a Mackinaw or Skiff, but while I was pondering it and not paying the best attention to my screen⌠I lost my Retreiver.

the first tier 2 probably paladin
i trained for batleships first
amarr t2 kinda suck
in the old times more
Zealot was impressive in the old times .
Guardian was the only RR armor choice.
Absolution had a monster of a tank (with the old 5% resist bonus) and pumped very good DPS.
As for battleships Abaddon , Apoc and Geddon ( was a laser platform with RoF bonus ) were an impressive force , specially the old Geddon.
All of these type of fleets were very common.
zealot had 0 drones
now is kinda better
yes
as i said i trained battleship first
those are all t1
the old invincible amarr apoca doctrine 
From a fleet perspective it wasnât an impediment .
dont want to antagonize you, rly
but
anything that have good range and a bunch of idiots can use is not a impediment for fleet use 
Which is why I take the nano ONI over Zealot any day, for any kind of solo / small gang endeavour . Zealot just doesnât fit that role well , it still lacks the speed and fitting room.
My first T2 ship class i could fly with were expedition frigates, but i havent flown them for gas huffing because ITs risky and prospect itself cost a little too much to lose IT frequently. I AM sure many Hunters would hunt me almost always using this so i stick to venture which is not that expensive. Same goes for mining in endurance.
I also achieved covert ops skills soon after, but i AM not using them at the moment because i AM affraid on losing them doing sites. I prefer magnate which is much cheaper. I must train hard escaping site traps and wormhole camps evading more to decrease chances of death in wh, although no one so far Has caught me in any trap there, but most likely because i was using cheap ship, they must have been waiting for something better to hunt and possibly change their ship names - ,Trauma 3" name on Astero turns on Red alarm in even most courageous playersâ minds. Of course, i strongly suggest cancelling hacking attempts whenever you see any ship in your wh.

I love them for the LS Ice mining. Nice sized Hold. Can simply cloak if a neutral shows up. Very nice.
For me, the main problem is covert ops decloaking. If it was mainly about running away from ships warping to me in order to catch me, I would definitely use it as my new primary ship. But these ships can not only sneakily come close but also bump preventing from align. I havenât experienced it myself, but I can easily picture it in my mind.
