My EVE Online Solo PvP Ship Tier List

This reward is about creating an image, but just dropping hot takes without justification felt wrong - so I went all in.

I put together a detailed breakdown of 28 ships, explaining exactly why each one landed in its tier. Full deep dive over here!

But if you just want a quick glance, here’s the tier list image.

Thanks Sturmer - I gather you've run into some Twitter-embed issues. I've just tried an embed myself and it worked. What happens for you? I'll get it reported

After a research turns out - issue on X side. Seems the Eve PVP ships topic is too mature. The post was flagged as adult and non-embedable. Tried to repost 3 times, but nothing helped, picture contains too much nudity haha

The Forbidden Ones

Two are a lie the other one scares me beside the Polaris Enigma Frigate.
But thats my friends is another story.

Kite + Speed

If you don´t know what happens, you decide the rules.
Inside or outside the ESS you will shine. Only the Brave ones will not touch the ESS.
Hey but there is a Sabre... everybody fears the fleet behind a dictor... thatsd why its a A-Tier Ship.

One Job

Astero is superb in hunting explo Frigates and doing explo aswell.
The Hecate with upto 1k DPS is always an supprise for everybody.
MTUs hate this trick.
ENis are the big Sister of Hecates...
But you can only be good in one maybe two task which limits you therefore you are a B-Tier.

You trapped with me

For this price tag you can expect to fight multiple... if they don´t counter you.
PNI,Vargur will fight for the point.
For the Redeemer you would need some Cyno Beacons which are available in Nullsec.
Barg,Nightmare are the fancy kite section and without links not that fast as you thought.
The TIFI Cruise or RHLM with a Hulltank of +200k EHP... people may choosed the wrong stuff the chew on.
Price and the Destiny needs to touch you kind off.

Against all odds

I mean if you don´t fit Remote Reps... you could fit Guns... what a shame if your ship dies to a battle Logi?
No, not you Zirn... you are out.

I disagree with the reward conditions a little. I think it's pointless to include "unsuitable" ships for solo PvP for several reasons. First, there are few unsuitable solo PvP ships given the right circumstances. Secondly that overly complicates the list, since there is no space for long explanations. So I organized my list in a different way. All the ships on my list are good at Solo PvP - for different reasons. I would feel confident taking any of these out to hunt my fellow players, but my goals would be different depending on the ship I was flying.

And then I ranked them each within each tier as well.

I thought what I did was a tier list, but I often miss the obvious, so for my tier list I have kept it strictly new player-friendly on frigates and what levels IMo I consider them to be useful for PvP.

Hey FirestormGamingTeam - I like the style of adding the text in the graphic itself - that's great. But I'll have to point you back to the instructions for this one:

"We're looking for tier lists, not top five lists, so be sure to include multiple ships in your tiers."

Alex Sinclair Greetings, I created a work, but unable to add it, says its closed, despite message

Deadline at 2:00am, 26th May, 2025.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Hey Limal, I'm not sure what's happened here, but I think the most likely explanation is that I've accidentally hit the 'close' button too early; I'll investigate. Thanks for pointing it out. Please could you submit your entry as a reply to this thread? I'll ensure that any winnings are manually sent to your wallet.

Alex Sinclair thanks!

For S-tier, I put Loki and Cynabal. Good slot layout, capless weapons with solid range, and great speed and agility. Loki is typically fitted with HAMLs, but AC builds work too depending on what you’re aiming for.

For A-tier, I really like how Plaxis and Gnosis perform. Both have plenty of fitting flexibility, solid HP, even resists, and agility. Cane Fleet Issue is also a great pic, excellent for deleting small, lone targets and even brawling with a few lower-tier ships.

B-tier is a bit broader: Drake Navy, Vargur, Vindi, Orthrus, and Exequror Navy. They’re quite different, but in general, when you undock in one of these, you can expect fair results. Bonus: flying a Drake often makes groups hesitate, it screams “bait,” which works in your favor.

C-tier includes Paladin and Armageddon. Great capacitor for energy warfare, especially on the Geddon. But the Paladin can struggle. If a kiter catches you, even a grapple won’t help land mid-range shots.

And finally, D-tier, my personal pain: Proteus. I wanted to master it at some point, but blasters are too close, and rails have terrible tracking. It just never felt right.

I didn’t include smaller ships... they die in my hands so fast I can’t even tell what’s going on XD.

No apology needed and it is still fine :) I've organised the winnings to be manually sent to your Just wallet (they should hopefully arrive tomorrow, but I'll check back in once they've gone through). Same for you, Limal.

P.S. I found out what went wrong. There was a reward of the same name in Just Elite Dangerous, and this one was closed in its place.

Hope you and your family have a good long weekend!

Limal and Luka Zaharin - those manual payments should now have gone through. Do let me know if you haven't received them
