Minmatar ships have a distinctive haphazard or "junky" design that has divided the EVE community - while many people revile the crude appearance of Minmatar ships next to the more solid structures of the other races, a lot of other players adore the more ramshackle, utilitarian design of Minmatar vessels. Because of this, a common running gag in the EVE Online community is the comparison of Minmatar ships to junkyards or duct tape.
In terms of combat philosophy, they are geared towards hit-and-run combat and are typically the fastest ships in the game. Their long-range weapon system, the artillery projectile, has relatively low damage over time but an extremely powerful single strike, making it ideal for fast strikes. Their short range weapon system is the autocannon and has a lower single strike damage but a higher rate of fire, giving it a higher overall damage and making it suitable for prolonged combat. Minmatar ships are geared towards both shield and armor tanking, depending on attributes of each ship.
Minmatar ships are viewed by some as skill-intensive due to some ships being geared for fitting both turrets and missile bays.
