That means that whatever your answer to this bounty is, it needs to be ridiculous. So tell us which ship you'd pick for solo PvP combat and tell us how you'd make the most of its unique abilities.

The Iteron Mark V developed and manufactured by Gallente Federation. Ideally it kitted out with 5 Expanded Cargohold modules in the low slots to really maximise the amount of scrap metal you can throw at your opponent.

Surprisingly, the ship does actually come with a turret hardpoint, but really making use of that would just get in the way of thed salvagers you'd need to fit to clean up after all your wanton destruction.

It is important that you focus on a specifc target though, which is why the ship limits you to a maximum of two locked targets at any one time. The raw HP of just 2,160 keeps the while thing in balance though, to ensure things stay interesting.

The best ship for PvP is the Nereus. Basically, why wouldn't it be? It's the only cargo ship in the game that can use drones. Here's how it works:

You'll go out looking for smaller ships and intimidate them with your powerful drones. If they don't agree to give you their ISK, you'll use your ship to teach them a lesson and kill them. Once their remains are floating in space, you'll scoop them up into your enormous cargo hold (2700 m3) and continue looking for new victims until you've filled it completely. Then, you sell what you've obtained because you need ISK for more Nereus, and the cycle repeats.

Warning: Excessive piracy may lead to hair loss, an obsession with Triglavians, and death at the hands of CONCORD.

Obviously the fitted Retriever CCP sells in the New Player offer! How could anything you pay money for ever lose in combat?! The bundle even unlocks an EXPERT system that makes you a MASTER of flying that ship. You're basically unstoppable, and at the same time can mine rocks to gain even more riches!

hold my beer, let me go dust of the venture! We don't want to kill them quickly... we want to mine them to death! :D

PVP isn't just about the DPS & kills, sometimes you just want to be in the same room as the party. The Monitor is the best PVP solo ship for "getting into" the action, even if you're living vicariously.
