Generally, the more tasks you want a fit to do the worse it performs at each particular task. Some ships have very specific uses: a Bantam (the Caldari mining frigate) is not very helpful in either pve or pvp combat. But even a combat ship will almost certainly need different fits for pve and pvp, because, for example, in pvp you usually receive a lot more damage in a much more limited time than in pve, and enemy players, unlike npcs, need to be [[Tackling 101 Guide|prevented from warping away]]. Even within pvp the same ship can have one fit for close-range brawling in a small gang and a completely different fit for fighting at longer ranges in a large fleet.

Of course, there are dangers in over-specialisation too, especially when you're not working with other players. If you're going to exploit a low-class wormhole while solo you want your ship to deal and tank damage, launch probes, and maybe cloak so that you can hide if you see a gang of enemies on your [[Directional Scanner|directional scanner]].
