Hi, being quite new to eve I've spent a lot of time trying all kinds of jobs and just learning how it works, it's been fun and at the moment I'm mostly a trader
But I'm getting bored at looking at my Stabber and it's time for a upgrade, so does anyone have any suggestions for a 10-40mil budget while tranquility is offline? :)
I trade, salvage and sometimes PvE and I'd like something thats a bit of jack-of-all-trades and master of none, if it exists.
(so I can be lazy and don't have to keep switching ships)
I was planning on a Hurricane from the start, but now looking for something with a slightly larger cargo space |

Hi, I have your jack-of-all-trades PVE ship right here:
[Hurricane, Jack]
Miner II
Salvager II
Salvager II
Medium EMP Smartbomb II
Light Neutron Blaster II, Null S
Heavy Missile Launcher I, Hellhound F.O.F. Heavy Missile I
250mm Railgun I, Tungsten Charge M
Dual 180mm Carbine Repeating Cannon I, Titanium Sabot M
Y-T8 Overcharged Hydrocarbon I Microwarpdrive
Small Shield Booster II
1MN Afterburner I
Small Hull Repairer I
Expanded Cargohold II
Expanded Cargohold II
Small Armor Repairer I
800mm Reinforced Steel Plates II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Medium Auxiliary Thrusters I

Light Armor Maintenance Bot II x1
169dps
18.6k ehp
20.7hp/s shield tank
33.6hp/s armour tank
1.1hp/s hull tank
Mining? Check.
Trading? Check. The 2 cargo expanders should fix your limited cargo problem!
PVE? Check. Smartbomb for low level drone missions, blaster for frigates in missions which escape your smartbomb, railgun for sniping and autocannon for med-range engagements. FOF missile for ECM heavy rats.
Drones of all damage types, so you're ready for any enemy faction. Logistics armour drone keeps your drones repped, so you don't need to dock for repairs.
Hull repper so you don't need to waste repair fees on your ship, and if you're damaged, you can just keep flying without stopping.
Armor repper for the same reason.
Shield booster for a similar reason. You don't need to dock for your shields to quickly recharge.

Battle cruiser probably fits with the price tag. Good for more PvE than the cruiser and will generally have a little more cargo space, for Minmatar you get the choice of the Hurricane or Cyclone. I think the Cyclone is more forgiving for newer players with it's shield tank bonus.
Jumping up to a Typhoon will give you more bang, and more space, but ultimately ships tend to specialise and anything with more cargo hold than a battleship is going to be a specialist industrial or freighter.
Edit: Also in case you're not aware the post above is trolling you, that is what counts as a terrible fit. |

OP asked for jack of all trades master of none. This would be a master comedy killmail. The jack of all trades is your hangar really. Get an indus, fit it so it can hold your combat ship (10k m3 for a cruiser, 15k m3 for a BC). Don't rig your combat ship. And voilą, large cargo, combat / exploration / light mining ability, all movable in 1 trip. |

The best way to do multipurpose ship is to fly what you like and have an orca/station/POS hold all the equipment and allow you to interchange fits as needed.
None of the combat ships larger than frigates make good haulers and none of the haulers make good combat ships, so if you want to transport goods place to place, get an industrial or use a frigate for small cargo. |

heh you're welcome... I guess? :) Well I went ahead and blew all my cash on a hurricane and fittings for PVP... Completely against what I had planned, just one of the impulse buys... But thank you everyone for the posts, I guess there really are no 'bigger than frig multipurpose' type ships.. I don't see how having a multipurpose ship is THAT big of a deal though if your spending most of your time in high sec. But the industrial ship was a good idea, however I had already thought of that and was concerned about it making me a big (in both meanings :)) target if I'm carrying around my life savings in one ship with no guns on it? I guess thats what the huge armor HP is there for though, I just wasn't sure... Anyway, too late, spending all my money to specialize in things I may never do now   |

It's very simple really - a jack of all trades ship, is master of none.
If you are master of none, it doesn't matter what you do to optimize your combat performance, everyone you face will be better at it than you.
Which means you lose, every fight you go into. |

Yep, that is what I was asking about.. Or just wondering if it existed in the game. There nothing wrong with not putting all your eggs in one basket if you want to make ISK and explore EVE I think. If you don't like moving around from A to B all the time to make ISK and feel like staying at 'A' for a while, not including L4 missions or PvP, I thought there might be a ship for this other than hauling stuff around in a industrial Just wanted to go about what I'm already doing but in a bit more style If I was a vet you could say "Carebear ---> Cigar smoking carebear in a rolls royce" if you like. (minus the monocle) Not that thats how I plan to play in the near future at all, but at this stage in the game it might be useful, or something to ask about if these ships don't already exist, and I guess they don't, which is fine of course. I got my cane now anyways |

It does exist, the Myrmidon is a very versatile ship and should fit the bill of what you are looking for.
You may however not have the skills needed to fly either well so think if it is what you like - both Domi and Myrm *can* be used in just about all situations and perform fairly well, though usually there is a ship which will perform better in a specific situation very few if any are as versatile.
Mission running? Check
Exploration? Check
Plexing? (high and low sec anyhow) Check
Ratting? Check
WH exploration? Check (but you really need to know your ship and your foes)
Gas mining? Check (not that I would recommend this!)
PVP - Check (it will not fill all roles, and usually there are better ships out there for any given task but it can pull a few tricks and it can sport a surprising tank)
Have fun - each one of the above is likely to use a different fit, skillset etc but it can do it all.
Later you can graduate to the Dominix - That is universally recognized as the jack of all trades ship. |

Ferox No, really. This ship masters nothing, but is vastly under rated. Up to 5 launchers or 6 turrets means you can use any of the 4 major weapons systems although not optimaly. The five launchers should not be discounted because of the excellent damage projection of heavy missiles, and it's worth noting that this was the FOTM sub battleship PVE monster before the Drake was born. The high slot layout also means that you can stay in one ship while you train what ever FOTM weapon system you want although the drone bay is small. It has the same resists bonus of a Drake and the second highest CPU output of all T1 battlecruisers which makes it easier to fit those cpu hogs you may want to add. If you want to mine, mission, transport or pvp this ship can do it all. Although there is always a better ship for what ever you use it for, no other ship (bar a T3) can fill as many roles as the OX. Mine: check PVE: check PVP: check Missile Spam: check Turrets: check Ewar potential: check Haul: check Bait ship: check Active Tank: check Passive Tank: check Buffer Tank: check Cheap: check If this ship could armor tank it would be OP  HTH |

Hmm.. a jack of all trades ship yet a master of none? A capable ship, yet fitting no specific role? Only one ship springs forth in my mind: The Ferox. [Ferox, Jack of all trades] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Damage Control II Codebreaker I Analyzer I Large Shield Extender II Invulnerability Field II Invulnerability Field II Core Probe Launcher I, Sisters Core Scanner Probe I Salvager I Heavy Missile Launcher II, Widowmaker Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Widowmaker Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Widowmaker Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Widowmaker Fury Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Widowmaker Fury Heavy Missile Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Medium Core Defence Field Extender I Medium Core Defence Field Extender I Warrior II x5 I call this an Explorationox. It can take on every high sec scan site and even a few in low sec, if you're bold. Sporting 310 dps, a 72% plus omni-tank and 128 omni-dps tanked it's a more then capable ship for whatever job you need done. You can swap the extender for an afterburner if you'd like. more then enough grid. It also fits your price range. |

Huh? That is what I asked in the first place. Anyways this is not WoW or some other cookie-cutter game where you only fit what is universally accepted as a good fit, it is a proper RPG where you can do what you like. The comedy of the fit is directly proportional to your own perceived elitist-ness |

Bumbo - here is a thought for you:
Just because someone wants a ship that can do all sorts of stuff does not mean that it has to do everything simultaneously (!). Seems people like the Ferox as a jack-of-all trades (I still vouch for the Myrmidon) but I would never try to fit to do everything at once - you fit for the mission at hand. |

I guess by the rest of the thread you have been able to tell that having to switch ships now and then is a much smaller problem for a lazy person than wanting to do everything with a single ship :) |
