Hi,
today im gone to 0.0 with my corp but my only ship that works in 0.0 that I have is the Manticore. I have a Drake too and this ship will be transported there too. But what ships are really good for ratting, plexing and pvp?
I think no Caldari :(
greets

The drake is used heavily in 0.0 at the moment for all three roles you have listed. I have seen fleets of 20+ drakes roaming at times, and not many people take them on without bringing exceptional DPS. 1v1 PVP is even possible with a drake, but I wouldn't reccomend it.
The manticore is reasonably good for most fleet things in 0.0, but do not use it as a scout ship - Use the buzzard instead. The buzzard is more nimble and less likely to become the target in a chase when you go through a gate camp.
Stick to your merlins or kestrels to get used to solo PVP in 0.0, advance to the caracal or moa when you feel up to the extra expense, then move into HACs like the cerberus and eagle when you are overloaded with ISK. Once you are using HACs for PVP, you should be able to use them well in ratting and plexing too.
All this advice goes well for Minmatar, Gallente and Amarr ships, too - just use the ships you are familiar with.

Heavy Assault Ships are in general very good for all 3 but Battlecruisers can also do all three jobs.
Falcons are often used in small and medium fleet engagements but are a bit too specialised for solo ratting or plexing in 0.0.
Logistics Ships are also currently very popular in small and medium fleets and by association Command Ships too. I have no experience with the Caldari version though so can't advise on its effectiveness or particular uses.
