For me it would be the Phantom.
You?
You?
If I could only fly one ship, it would be the . . .

Courier
Really? what can you do with a Courier? It's basically useless. Sure it's fun the fly but so is the Eagle.
If you wanna impress the women, get a vette.
My daughter says she would pick the Dolphin over any other ship. Hers is called parfum de rêve and she flies it enthusiastically and with great skill, shaking off interdictions like una bella would shake off unwanted attention.

Ask about your choice, then trash it. Nice
Made me laughThis week it would be my DBS, bounty hunting shieldless with two imperial hammer is really fun to me. Next week it will be another one for sure. If I had to choose one forever I would probably build a new one able to do a lot of thing. So... A python I guess ?
Useless? Hardly. It's very fast (third fastest ship in the game), even armed and shielded it can be exceptionally fast and has three medium hardpoints which makes it potent, certainly against NPC's and for its size it has great shields. Mine can comfortably defeat Elite pirate lords in their Corvettes. (I have seven of them.)
It's also big enough to be able to be fitted with an SRV, so can be used for planetary surface stuff, and most of mine have jump ranges of over 30 Ly. Only downside is they tend to warm up quick when scooping.
imperial cutter... great battle miner,it lacks mining fighter but its fine,deploy srf keep mining and pirates will be always busy.

thought the same
i ... think it can sort of work as comedy?oooh, you stir up fond old memories! i still must have that thing parked somewhere, will check next time i log on.
I thought you would have said Dolphin, your VW of space
Courier is far superior for combat.
Impressing women with vidya choices. Sure thing champ.
Krait 2. Does everything and parks anywhere.
Greetings,
Being a traditionalist the Cobra Mk III...providing that is the only ship any player can fly in the game. But with so many play styles in Elite Dangerous one ship just won't do. We would all probably get bored thus quit playing years ago.
Still covering all the bases in ED an Imperial Cutter with awesome shielding, engineered firepower, mass locks all smaller ships, high volume cargo and passenger runs and still provides 36.5LY jump for getting around would be my pick. But I'd never land at an outpost or a lot of difficulty on planets with rough terrain (Guardian, Thargoids, material gathering etc). Others dedicated to just one play style might choose another.
I have three engineered Pythons. I've tweaked all three over the years.
1. Mining Tritium on a Fleet Carrier in the black.
2. Cargo runs with systems in Boom states.
3. Passenger runs especially in Robigo. Well armed I often hunt PvPers with it.
Only one ship in ED? It won't work for me.
Then again...With the Asp Explorer if the Frontier Devs would replace one of the class 3 internal slots with a class 4 there are many opportunities.

For me probably the Keelback.
I take it you haven't bothered to get to know the ship well at all. The courier is a silly versatile ship that can do soooo many things. From racing/hooning to heavy CZ combat and murdering Thargs
