Please fill out the following form:
"Hey, I fly <insert race here> and I think they're <excellent / terrible if Amarr, add whine> so I would recommend you fly <insert race here / "any other race" if Amarr, add whine>."
Oh, Amarr isn't that bad. But they like to whine.

Matar, closely followed by Gallente.

Minmatar by far, then Gallente. Autocannons and Blasters are very fun.
Amarr and Caldari are boring, Caldari esp. because of the slow ROF of most launches, it's much more fun to fire a piece of ammo every two seconds with an AC or blaster than 5-6 on a launcher.

Call me crazy, but Amarr ships are generally them most fun for me, followed very closely by Minnie ships.

Anything with launcher points. Lasers are nice though, but their sound is dull compared to heavy missiles hitting targets, while having a high volume and bass active :-P

Gallente.
Do or die. Everyone else can basically run away if **** matches coordinates with the ventilation fan. Minmatar use speed, Amarr experience*, and Caldari use their naturally cowardly combat style.
* The window between getting scrambled and when you can attack is small, takes lot of experience to see if you have a chance or need to warp away.
That said, Minmatar tend to be fun because they are fast and can attack numbers without resorting to Caldari "tactics".
Oh, and what ever you do, don't fly Caldari. Bloody boring! In case you didn't notice, from all of my above, that is. - EVE is sick. |

Assuming fun equals versatility; Minmatar is king. But because of their versatility, you will have to pump a lot of skill points into a lot of areas which may have you feeling a bit weak early game. One ship you may be armor tanking, another you may be shield tanking, another you may be using guns, another you may be using a mix of stuff, so you end up having to be good at a lot of skills.
Next would be Gallente, you have decent snipers, good close range blaster boats, and wacko drone ships. They mostly armor tank, but a few ships have been known to shield tank.
With the other races you tend to see less variety, but itĘs still there to some regard. Sometimes you just like to throw a wall of missiles at a guy (Caldari) or cleanse him with the holy fire of your lasers (Amaar). And if that doesnĘt work, you throw a bigger wall of missiles at the guy or crank up the holy fire.

I would say caldari are the least fun to play, as missiles get really dull. if you go a rail caldari it's ok though ;P

I've had a lot of fun in the following ships: Crusader (Amarr Interceptor) Arbitrator (Amarr Cruiser) Rupture (Minmatar Cruiser) Tempest (Minmatar Battleship) Ferox (Caldari Battlecruiser)
I will tell you right now the most entertaining ship out of all the ships I've flown (I fly all four races, gallente is only up to cruiser...minmatar cruiser 5 and amarr frig 5) is the Crusader. I highly suggest if you want to have fun - go for interceptors of ANY race. Interceptors are extremely good ships for their cost. ---

I've flown a Condor, Caracel, Ferox, Drake and Rifter. What was the most fun? By far the Rifter was the most fun. In the way that the Raven is a lvl4 missions *****, the Drake is a lvl3 mission *****. But when it comes to having fun, I loved my Rifter.

currently rediscovering the Catalyst (Gal. Desty) all over again, insanely fun ship now I have the skills, implants and gear to max out these little ships. ALL firepower, no tank, pure seat of the pants must-kill-before-being-killed flying, it's like playing EVE in time trial mode.
[Destroyers get a bad rep because newbs think they're the logical upgrade to frigates (which they certainly arent) and dont have the skills to fit them out fully, but they're scary little boats in the right hands].
the catalyst with it's insane tracking bonuses is just majorly RAWR as well, it just never misses, ever.

Actually, Amarr have been some of the funnest ships I've flown. Particually the specialist ships that don't rely on the problematic lazer/tank balance.
My favs
Harbinger: raw armour rather than a rps tank and ship bonus that makes the lazers rather effective, fast and manuverable for a BC.
Arbitrator: it's a ew ship, and it's a beaut. Fast, manuverable, and adaptable to almost any situation. And much sleeker than that other drone carrier. Can't wait to get into a recon version one day.
Malediction: Fun. =) I picked one up with the intention of hunting down some scallywags that ganked my ship. Now anywhere in the galaxy that doesn't require gobs of firepower, I get there in it. Excellent for exploring hostile space with a cloak fitted. Sure a cov ops is too, but this is sturdy and agile enough to fight as well.
It's great being Amarr, ain't it?

Hands down minmatar wins the prize for most fun followed by gallente then amar and last wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy last is caldari.
Minmatar = speed and sweet autocannons and if u wanna snipe set up the artillery and watch the alpha strikes. Fly these ships for ultimate fun:
-rifter -stabber -Rupture cuz it unexpectedly survives things it shouldnt. -typhoon (nano set up ofc) -tempest honestly ANY set up is fun on this ship.
Gallente = drones (which are kinda boring) but on the upside he blasters are sweet. Try these for fun:
-skip frigs i think gallente frigs r sad -thorax -megathron -hyperion
Amar = lazers and then some more lazers, highly inflexible but pew pew is very fun.
-punisher cuz it can pwnz things it should pwn -arbi is cool just not exiting move along amar cruisers r sad atm. -geddon -abbadon
Caldari = sitting far back in a lonely cold place shooting missiles hoping ur friends dont finish off the target before the missiles hit. thogh they did get a nice BS recently but all opf their rail platforms need to be looked at, their kinda sad xcep for the rohk ofc.
-kestrel is perhaps the only truly fun missily ship to play with. -rohk
Didnt mention any t2 ships cuz those change the playing field as well though i think the vaga would own all other t2 ships in fun factor.

Depends on what you think is fun
Gallente - Ride by the edges of your pants. Blasters and drones, hit em hard and hit em fast, tank your ship just so it survives the encounter
Minmatar - Although barbarian might be the traditional idea for minmatar, you need to be a ****ing genius to do well in these ships, and when you do well you do REAALLLYYY WELL. Get the perfect range with your fast speed and you become untouchable and at the same time just destroy them! Of course if your not at the right range your a bit boned. Risky when your an idiot but when your clever, flying minmatar ships rock.
Caldari - Fun if you like fleet combat, solid tank, sniping and...the slower more certain side of fighting.
Amarr - never played them but i do know players in amarr ceptors and cruisers that rock the joint...but never played them so dont know. I do know they have solid tanks though!

This is going to sound nuts to a lot of people because people think it is such a lousy ship but i found the Omen to be one of the most fun ships to fly in both pve and pvp as long as you don't concern yourself too much with a tank and just go for gank.
Caldari are fun too. It seems like the biggest complaints I hear are "Omg!..the ships sucks in fleets because I never get a killmail" or "OMG!..I am forced to train Hybrids too??"
However, I agree with the majority who say Minmater are probably the most fun overall. Every race has their problems and short comings but Mater has a nice round stable of ships. Like others said, it will take awhile to train up for them though.

Yep... but that's true for other races too..
If you want to be effective with Minmatar, you focus on Projectiles.. but you really do *need* good Missile skills as well. Drones on the side, too.
If you want to be effective with Gallante, you gotta focus on Drones and Hybrids...
Amarr? Well... I don't know... all I hear from Amarr is whining so I can't really tell.

Edited by: Wrayeth on 26/12/2006 11:25:02 I'd say Minmatar are the most fun, followed by Gallente. The Minmatar speed advantage lends itself well to fast-paced conflict. While Minamtar ships' DPS can generally be described as "lol", you can't beat the fun factor.
Gallente ships, on the other hand, aren't as fast, but they're powerhouses. Blasterboats with insane DPS and decent speed, drone ships with ridiculous amounts of drones, nos, and insane tanks, etc.
In short: Minmatar: Primarily fun ships to fly, though not as good at winning in many instances. Gallente: Primarily winning ships, and not *quite* as fun as Minmatar.
EDIT: My sig regards to the (in)ability of Minmatar ships to win fights against ships of the same class from other races (primarily applies to the larger ships; the smaller Minmatar ships are pure sex). -Wrayeth "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!"
