:[[Rupture|RUPTURE]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Minmatar}} - {{co|#768d31|Projectile Turrets}}. With four projectile turrets and room for a full flight of drones, this ship uses artillery and drones to destroy enemies from range. It can use armor or shields with equal facility, making it a popular ship for PvE.

:[[Vexor|VEXOR]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Gallente}} - {{co|#768d31|Drones}}. One of the most popular ships for PVE, the Vexor can carry five flights of light drones, or a mix of light and medium drones. It has enough bandwidth to fly a mix of light, medium and heavy drones, which can be useful in some Level 3 missions. The Vexor has a bonus for hybrid turrets, but the damage from these is small compared to its drones, and other types of weapons and devices are not unusual. It is most often armor tanked.

==A Note On Battlecruisers and More Advanced Ships==
Level III missions and the more advanced combat sites generally require a Battlecruiser or an equivalent ship ... of which there are many. By this time, many players will be using T2 fits. Some will be flying T2 ships, and a few may even be flying T3 ships. Because of this, the choice of ships and fittings is open to discussion. A player with this much experience should enjoy the challenge of finding and fitting a ship that matches his or her skills.
Many guides that help with choosing ships for higher level missions and combat sites can be found in this wiki:

===Progressions===
If you have a favored weapons type and want to plan ahead, here are a few commonly followed tracks for PvE: {{co|#bfbb7d|frigate --> cruiser --> battlecruiser --> battleship}}
:{{co|#bfbb7d|Missiles: Kestrel --> Caracal --> Drake --> Raven}} Train Caldari ships and missile weaponry together. The Raven may be the single most popular Level IV mission battleship.
:{{co|#bfbb7d|Drones: Tristan --> Vexor --> Myrmidon --> Dominix}} Train Gallente ships and drone weaponry together. The Dominix is also a very widely used Level IV mission ship.
:{{co|#bfbb7d|PvP}} If you want to train for PvP along with PvE, you will be most interested in T1 cruisers and T3 destroyers. There are a lot of choices to made on the PvP path, and it is worth reading our [[Solo PvP]] page as you start out.

Armor tanked ships usually lose their shields fairly quickly. Shield tanked ships should never lose their shields ... if they do, it's time to warp out. There are other ways of tanking, but these are the two most widely used.
