Hi there everyone, I was wondering what in terms of DPS, tank, and speed is really the best ship in all of eve? and if so what's the fit? what can it handle? I hope people from all over the cluster reply so I can get different views from different people. |

DPS & Tank: Titan
Speed: Leopard (warp speed), Lots of fast frigates at sub-warp speed
If that seems like a flippant answer, well it's factual. Maybe not what you were really after, but it's an impossible question to answer based on that question.

Friendship is the only true answer.
But the beauty of EVE is that there is no "best ship", only right tools for certain jobs. |

There isnt one. Ships have roles. Some are good at some things some are good at others. The best ship in eve is the one that suits your playstyle.

The best ship is hands down the Thrasher. Or at least, it will be once this new redesign gets done and implemented.

Actually, if you really want to consider all 3 - DPS, tank and speed - then I would look at it this way:
DPS - Needs to be able to kill the smallest ships while also provide significant hits for higher EHP's. This sort of limits our choice in the BC and Bship range since they can fit neuts + drones to deal with smaller stuff while being able to apply full DPS on bigger targets.
Tank - Following up on above, Bships win over BC.
Speed - Bship's higher EHP means their fits can be tweaked for more tank or speed, depending on the need. There is a video on YouTube where someone gets some dank kills using a warp-speed rigged Geddon, pretty neat.
Now, considering all of the above, which battleship then? Well, from my experience, most of them suffer from tracking issues except the ones using drones. Also, drones allow more neut power without sacrificing DPS. The obvious choice seems to be the Geddon - but it isn't. Geddon screams "I have neuts, come at me", whereas the Dominix can sport better tank and "play dumb" such as warping-in using autopilot.
So to answer your question, which basically asks to meld together 3 attributes often opposite from each other, you get the king of flexibility, the Dominix.
You won't find a fit for it though, since there is one for almost every situation. You have the solo Domi, the fleet Domi, the armor Domi, the shield Domi, the RR Domi, the neut Domi, the DPS Domi and everything in between. Don't forget the combat scanner Domi but I wouldn't get into it right now. |

Some ship with drones.
Although I hate it by now, my most flown ship and probably best ship and the ship that I've 'done' the most in and what not is probably one of the 27 Ishtars I had at one point. |

As you can see, lots of people have lots of different answers. There's a reason for that.
There is no 'best ship', there is only the one that suits you and your playstyle the best, for whatever task you intend it to do.
Personally, I pvp a lot so I find myself preferring to be as versatile as possible. I need to be able to counter on the fly and I like being unpredictable. To accomplish that, I've cross-trained into all races and can fly a vast array of ships, depending on what I need at any given time for any given purpose.
But in this game, there is no such thing as any one ship that does everything better than anything else. Everything has a counter, and no, bigger =/= better.

Just like more people said already, there is no such thing as a 'best ship'. I do think however that the Vexor is a good ship to get some experience with before trying your own fits. Once you know the pittfalls, you can build from that point on.

I love the Thrasher, and I love the redesign art I've seen. The new model for it really reminds me of a true military unit-- form meeting function, not unlike the contemporary littoral combat ships. The old Thrasher was just fine, however-- not sure how redesigning it was high on anyone's list. *cough cough Rupture cough*
