Eve Online - Why These TEN Ships are SO Popular with Players! Plus Honorable Mentions!

Eve Online has hundreds of ships to choose from, but over 12 years I still see ships liek the Vexor, Gila, Astero, Punisher, and Tristan show up over and over, so here is why these ships keep showing up!

The trick is to login once put all skills in training and log back in in five years

I know it's not a combat ship but the Orca's ability to make you nomadic is one of the reasons it's my favorite. Had the same one for about 13 years. Lived in High, Null, and WH space. Prop mode, cloak, and a couple scouts you can go almost anywhere.

The Algos might be my favorite looking ship. It's like a mix between a Lancaster and B-24 Liberator bomber. The pontoons doubling as drone bays is appealing.

have been playing eve for 10 years. feels good to see a video on the most loved ships :)

[marakuyovimalesh]

dude! Mute the warning sounds on the video! I'm playing while watching, and thought I had left a ship sitting at a gate, or something

I don't understand eve online but I like spaceships and I thank you for justifying my love for them

Osprey Navy Issue is a cruiser that can deploy 5 light drones. Also when I started using it to run the lower abyssals it cut my ammo costs in half due to the missile damage bonuses it gets.

I used to play EVE quite a bit and have trained new players for PVE and one ship that was very popular was the Moa with a passive shield tank fitting. It's a relatively affordable cruiser and a passive tank lets you concentrate on positioning and guns without worrying about cap.
It's not the fastest killer, but you can tank level 3 or 4 missions while you pick away at enemies. Once you've spent a few days training shield skills, it can tank battleship damage while slowly picking away at them with it's tiny weapons.
You need to screw up pretty bad to lose one of those ships.

T3 cruisers are my daily. Especially Tengu and Loki. If I could go back and redo it, I’d race straight for a T3 cruiser. Cloaky, fast, and 900 DPS unheated.

thanks for the reminder of how much I used love this game👍

Hurricane will always have the top spot in my heart. Fell in love at first sight and been smitten ever since.

I will not stand for this Gallente Propaganda!
Trust in the Rust!

Drake was the ship I wanted to fly when I started in 2011. I still love the look of this razorblade.

Personally I've always adored the design of the Gallente Catalyst. I've always been a big fan of asymmetric designs for ships in Sci Fi. The Catalyst often reminds of a supersized B-Wing from Star Wars with its S-Foils down.

[michaelwilliams]

The catalyst makes a super efficient salvager, 4 salvagers and 3 tractor beams make short work of combat sites combined with an MTU.

Real pirates fly Minmatar !
bonus info: Punisher was actually the best pvp frig in alpha/beta back in.. 2003 or smth. Cant recall the year, its been so long, it was fitted with guns for better cap/tank ;)

The Republic Fleet Firetail was such fun to fly against a(ny) enemy 😊 and nothing like hero tanking a gallente BC for battle !

[TheCynysterMind]

Well done! all great examples! I have only been playing for 2 years.
I have flown the Ishtar, Gila, Myrmidon for ratting in Nulsec... Ishtar so far has been the best. to be able to fly 5 heavy drones.
While the Gila is faster... it is way more expensive to lose if you get surprised with a roaming Dreadnaught.

How do you view other people's fits for ship, like at 7:21 ?
