Best in class 2012: A year ago in October, I wrote a little post in which I listed what I thought were the "best in class" ships in each ship class. With Retribution coming up and a lot of ship changes in store for us at the T1 frigate and cruiser level, I thought it would be fun to update that post for the new year. This isn't anything I'll be doing often, but "once a year" feels about right for this kind of post.
Last year, I excluded faction ships of all kinds from the list. This year, I'm going to include them in their own categories. But I'll still be excluding tournament ships this year. Without further ado...
