I have a range of ships available from the big to the little
And strangely I get the best Elite time from all of them
Why, well the Anaconda is set up as a mining ship, sure it can defend itself, and be able to do a Sothis run (4 million in rares outbound, 20 million in rather smelly stuff inbound), but thats whats its for, so I can kick back and relax while flying
The python..... heavily armored and with decent guns.... lets go pop some pirates in a Haz-res..... or take on a massacre mission (if someone had'nt bugged them the other day [rolleyes])
The viper (also known as the Dakka dakka special due to 4 multicannons) is great when you just want to mess about with friends(and cheap to rebuy when piloting it into a station while fooling about with friends)
But the best ship for me is the AspX 76 tons of naughty cargos delivered 30 ly in a single jump and flown at 460 into a station... slot (not been caught since Nov last yr [cool] )

Honourable mention... the sui-sidewinder
