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

Hey yall I know some are bummed certain ships did not get mentioned but there are literally hundreds of great ships in this game! Also help to keep this channel alive with a superthanks above (donate any amount you feel comfortable with) or support the channel at patreon.com/resurrected

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.

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

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.

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

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 ;)

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

i love my vargurs. its a flying beacon of death.

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

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.

glad you got your channel back!

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.

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.

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

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

I love this game. Thank you so much for covering it. You make the best content.

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.

find it weird you didn't mention any E-war ships at all. something like the curse are one of the most feared ships in the game, and can turn even the most expensive battleships into useless space junk without breaking a sweat, so for cruiser fights the ships I by far the most use are the curses and pilgrims. if you watch the alliance tournaments e war ships are always being used, and in general its the team that uses them the best that wins the fight i also really enjoy the t3 cruisers you didn't mention in the vid lol, meaning the legion and the proteus. the proteus are somewhat underestimated by many people, but it can push 1100 dps and 70k ehp tank with blasters. another ship that's extremely popular, especially in null sec that you didn't mention are the exequror navy issue that are fairly cheap, easy to get into, and can push 8-900 DPS with somewhat all-right tank for a t1 cruiser. the ship i have most pvp kills with tho are the pacifier, and theres no better ships out there to kill explorers. i have a fit that gives it 350-400 dps, and it tears an Astero apart in 2-3 volleys, but the price of the ship and fit i use are roughly 360-400 mill so aint exactly cheap

If you want to turn some engagement for EvE, exploring the factions, lore and methodology of ship use/fitting would be a good idea. There are a lot of people who might be interested in EvE but aren't players that could benefit from knowing a but more about the underlying story of the game.

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 ran an Ishtar forever back in the day. It was the first ship I "raced" to when building my character up.

I used to fly a Tristan with an almost identical fit 7 years ago.

Orca is a fantastic ship and I have had mine for about the same. I love how you can use it as a garage for the Hulks/Mackies for your scouts and then swap when you get where you are going. When they added compression I love how you can play with different fits instead of just making it as large and slow as possible! Excited to see how these new Upwell ships change things.

Great video, good selection for top 10

I love the Drake hull if anything looks like a drake I love it including alligator, nighthawk, Drake Navy.

Great video! I am thinking about starting to play Eve and it looks like a ton of fun! Pro tip: for voice overs, I use a dog trainer clicker to mark my retakes. Shows a very distinct spike on your audio track to make it easy to find your good takes!

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

The Gallente ships are so beautiful. If I ever got back into Eve and into it in a big huge way I’d want to eventually get a Gallente Carrier. Of course every other time I’ve played only ever got up to the Myrmidon

The 'retake' section was a great addition :)

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

excellent and looking forward to more videos

"myrmidon is a versatile..." I believe you mean V E R T I C A L

Alternate title: "why gallente are op....drones" ah nostalgia... I got a soft spot for the rattlesnake as that was such a fun ship to pve in and combined my favorite ship playstyles. I flew most of these ships back in the day other than the sisters of eve ships, with gallente being my starting faction and caldari being my 2nd adopted faction. If I had time for it, I'd come back also, the absolute best ship was left out.....PVP fitted procurer

You kinda touched on ganking but in large PVP ships were left out. Tengu and Loki of course but this was basically a PVE best in class list. Go to zkill and look up statics on loss mails ect. I would say alot of frigs are popular in LS pvp. Dictors in NS and WH but my most flow ship in WH space is a Roller and the best Roller of them all is a megathrone only for its speed back to hole. Anyway good video nice edits and clean speech keep it up.

Grrr at that Discord voice notification. Had to double check that I wasn't in a voice call when that went off.

Biggest shortcoming of the stratios is the incapacity to fit an interdiction nullifier, which puts it at great risk of getting tackled in a nullsec gatecamp to people in interceptors that know the delicate art of decloaking them while they're stuck in a bubble. Asteros, being that they als cannot nullify, are also at great risk of getting decloaked and scrammed while trying to get out of a bubble.

I played Eve for years, lot of fond memories watching this vid!

I roll to cast Drakes.

well my fave ship is the enforcer.. because.. it can do about anything really. fit it with the weapons and tank you like.. it can do abyssal mission running, pvp no real big downsides.. but its a tad pricey too.

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

The ships I see the most is propably Isthar, Sabre/Flycatcher, Gila, Loki/Tengu, Caracal, Rattlesnake, Paladin/Vargur, Kiki

Well just comes to show that Eve are very diverse game. In my part of NullSec the most commons ships are Retributions, Stilettos, Sabres/Flycatchers, Vexors/Ishtars, Bombers and T3 Cruisers

I've always liked the Hurricane, it can be fitted to be faster than some frigates and has the battlecruiser damage potential. I would take it into WH space with a fleet of frigates, take it in to rush larger ships especially battleships so that I can speed tank them and allow the frigates DPS for me.

Binge watching eve video beforre going down the rabbit hole! Cheers!

I love my Tristan as well as the Algos, Vexor, Navy Vexor on this new alt...Started out in 2006 as a droneboat capt'n and still love em. I had to come back and respond to "the Caldari strategic cruiser used to be number 1 pvp ship" ish. I strongly disagree with that. It was the Proteus, both as THE solo pvp ship AND as a member of smaller, roaming gang ship setup with scram with range and blasters, dealing just a skoash less DPS than an Astarte but with a tank of 4 or 5 and much quicker and agile. The Tengu offered me any reason to fear it in that its tank was in the mid slots were, back then at least is where MWD, web scram, injector belong. Could NOT kill for that reason :P 😜

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

Regarding the Drake, the T2 variant; Nighthawk and still brand-spanking-new Gurrista variant; the Alligator are really really nice. I own one of each and they can be used as anti-triglavian platforms, ratting ships and precision DPS ships. Also a note: how about custom renders/ 3-d models of EVE ships on your Patreon? I prefer those to Star Trek designs.

my paladin is my moneymaker....doesnt has ammo costs, big cargo bay and can breeze through all L4 combat Missions

Fun stuff :) i love the vexor

great vid I played Eve for years but finally burned out on it last year unfortunately ps love your content💯👍

I like missle ships like the worm and mamba >< accessible to alpha. And drone ships like algos and vexor. If I wanna go a bit bigger cyclones are fun, both being missle and drones

Used to run with a corp that specialized in running deep raids. We ran dual prop Ishtars with sentry drones. Absolutely devastating at that time, really fun but required some skill to apply. Oh, and for my money the Sabre is the best interdictor; speed, damage, and survivabity. Speed is life.

As someone who is really into industrial side of EVE I almost exlusively fly a Noctis because salvaging is my favorite activity, if I need to move stuff though there's always my trusty Providence, reason why I like it over other hauling ships is that it deadass looks like enlarged GR-75

Pacifier - fastest ship in game after the Leopard shuttle. Beats blockade runners twice and is 1/3rd faster than Dramiel.

Shiiiiet, I'm really feeling the needs to get back into eve online 😅😍

I like the gallente faction and ships, the Tristan is my fav ship. And it looks like a mech.

You dissing the drake, punk? They're a little low on DPS (especially if you don't use kinetic), but they're tanky as hell and can make decent use of passive shield regeneration. Drakes will take a licking and keep on ticking. The Navy Drake, with better damage, no damage lock, and beefier drones, is capable of delivering (and taking) a pounding. Unlike the Heavy Assault Cruisers (which cost about the same ISK), if someone or something glues you in place with webifiers, a Navy Drake really doesn't lose much in the way of survivability. That said, I've become fond of the Amarr boats recently, and spend a lot of time in Ammatar space hunting Sansha's Nation escalations. Armor boats really work better against lasers

I like dominix, it may not be the best ship in its category, but it was what boosted my account in the beginning (10 years ago), and every time I play again it's because of the memory of those good days.

Rifter, high damage, good speed and good slots.

Praxis and Gnossis

I'll have to correct you on the covert cyno, the only ships that can jump directly to it are Black Ops Battleships, but they can bridge other Covert Ops ships to it. IIrc a Black Ops Battleship can bridge up to 30 Stealth Bombers which while fragile can pump out ridiculous amounts of damage. Black Ops Battleships being the smallest ships that have a proper jump drive.

Sounded like drone weapon systems are OP. I agree! Buff the holy fire to eradicate these vermin in aoe :) ps: you forgot a top ratting and mission running ship ;)

This list is biased towards Gallente, drones and ships that require Gallente skills (Guristas). If you make such a list from perspective of someone who started with one of the other empires, you'd see a different list. Nothing wrong with that, but you may not see the bias. Your points on the strength of these ships are on point. Some things to add. Gila is one of the most versatile ships for running abyssals. Ishtars litter nullsec, used for 'ratting' activities, often with low/no attention required fits. The new navy cruisers are very useful. Almost every one has a niche role where it excels. Vexor Navy Issue is up there with Stratios when it comes to running sites. My bias is towards Guristas, SOE, Caldari, Gallente as well. Though I have trained for all four empires, I still come back to my drone or drone/missile based ships.

10 mins in and its entirely drone boats except the gallente gun destroyer, bias?, sabre is my favorite

All hail the Gallente Master race! ☝️😌

Fun fact about the Catalyst, it isn't a "flying wing". It's the same general hull as the Myrmidon. They just turned it on its side to make it visually different. Yes, the Eve devs have been massive hacks about their models lol. If you don't believe me, here's some trivia questions. Which ship model is a repurposed hair dryer model? Which is a repurposed submarine model? And which entire class is based on a vacuum cleaner model? For bonus points, what ships are actually space ship models - that have been reversed and had their cockpits stuck on their rear ends? lol.

No Amarr ships on the tier. Most used ship for Abyss: Retribution Most used ship for FW: Coercer Navy Most used capital: Apostol

Which ship have the highest base velocity?

Thanks ill try some of those ships out-retake or refill🥃?😉

You dont understand covert ops cyno. Lets say one tengu lights up a covert cyno. By itself, another tengu in fleet cant just jump on it. To do so you need a specific clacc of ships - black ops and its jump portal generator, btw Widow (example of BO) can jump on lighted cyno from get go. Just dont mess the buttons and jump alone on a Widow))) "Can i bring my drake" is a famous russian alliance now, not just a meme)

Flew the Vexor, Ghila, and Astero back when I played. Loved the game,. but dont have the time to sink into EVE anymore.

No ceptor love? My fave used to be the Crow but later on it became the Taranis.

Best Ship is the USS Excelsior of course.

Drake, man i loved that ship xD

Do you remember, when Gila holds Geckos....?

Gallente fan boi over here

Where's my Tempest?

Cynabal… like the one I used to blow up your Vexor a long time ago!

You were talking about supporting you so much, I got tired hitting the right arrow and just left.

I like the Stratios because it reminds me of a Vulcan ship. ;-) It's a shame you're unable to build the ISS Conquer a carrier class starship stolen by the "USS Dauntless" surviving crew, with the aid of the mirror universe, "Romulan Free States" and "Klingon Defense Fleet", escaping into the prime universe, days before the "Conspiracy" (STTNG / S1, Ep 25) was resolved? ;-)

my favourite ship to fly is the Guardian

definately Love my Rattlesnake

eve content eve content!

No mention of the Thorax?

Dragoon... even a little Amarr love...

SOE exploration ships are the smexxiest ships in the universe. Especially the Astero and the Strat

you forgot the best ship: friendship :3

tengu for epic arcs and such way over kill and the golem for lvl 4 missions thats about all i do

Tengu ftw ❤
