===Notable PvP Droneboats===

'''Gallente'''

* Ishkur: AF with potential 50m<sup>3</sup> dronebay; one of the best AFs, good DPS ship or sticky tackler; good solo

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ishkur Ishkur]: AF with potential 50m<sup>3</sup> dronebay; one of the best AFs, good DPS ship or sticky tackler; good solo

* Vexor: tough, flexible secondary tackle/DPS ship; shield-tank and fit blasters for more DPS than a Thorax!; good solo

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Vexor Vexor]: tough, flexible secondary tackle/DPS ship; shield-tank and fit blasters for more DPS than a Thorax!; good solo

* Ishtar: lots of DPS and drone space in a small package; like other HACs can lose its role in a large mixed fleet; unlike some turret-based HACs, doesn't really work as a sniper

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ishtar Ishtar]: lots of DPS and drone space in a small package; like other HACs can lose its role in a large mixed fleet; unlike some turret-based HACs, doesn't really work as a sniper

* Myrmidon: tolerable DPS; sometimes fitted with autocannon or lasers; active armor tanked Myrmidon can be good small gang bait

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Myrmidon Myrmidon]: tolerable DPS; sometimes fitted with autocannon or lasers; active armor tanked Myrmidon can be good small gang bait

* Dominix: cheap and powerful Swiss Army Knife of a ship; high DPS w/ blasters and large drones; or RR or capacitor warfare platform

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Dominix Dominix]: cheap and powerful Swiss Army Knife of a ship; high DPS w/ blasters and large drones; or RR or capacitor warfare platform

* Sin: despite its drone bonuses, its primary function is to create covert cyno bridges, not to use drones; not noticeably better ''as a droneboat'' than the Dominix, but massively more expensive

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sin Sin]: despite its drone bonuses, its primary function is to create covert cyno bridges, not to use drones; not noticeably better ''as a droneboat'' than the Dominix, but massively more expensive

'''Amarr'''

* Sentinel: ewar, capacitor warfare and drones in one frigate hull; superb 1v1 ship, decent small gang support

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sentinel Sentinel]: ewar, capacitor warfare and drones in one frigate hull; superb 1v1 ship, decent small gang support

* Arbitrator: flexible combination of ewar and DPS; shield or armor tank; good solo or gang support ship

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Arbitrator Arbitrator]: flexible combination of ewar and DPS; shield or armor tank; good solo or gang support ship

* Curse: lethal mix of ewar and capacitor warfare, with drones for DPS; great gang ship; would be good solo if everyone didn't dock up when it appeared on scan

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Curse Curse]: lethal mix of ewar and capacitor warfare, with drones for DPS; great gang ship; would be good solo if everyone didn't dock up when it appeared on scan

* Pilgrim: cloaky Curse, with a shorter range; good surprise solo/small gang ship; can be a heavy scout/initial tackler

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Pilgrim Pilgrim]: cloaky Curse, with a shorter range; good surprise solo/small gang ship; can be a heavy scout/initial tackler

'''Gurista'''

* Worm: similar to the Ishkur; held back by rockets' weakness but can mount a superb shield tank (for a frigate)

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Worm Worm]: similar to the Ishkur; held back by rockets' weakness but can mount a superb shield tank (for a frigate)

* Gila: similar to the Ishtar, with missiles instead of hybdrid turrets, and a bigger dronebay

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Gila Gila]: similar to the Ishtar, with missiles instead of hybdrid turrets, and a bigger dronebay

(~~The~~ Rattlesnake doesn't offer a great deal more than the Dominix for PvP, given its expense.)
