No such thing as a 'Best' race in PvP as they can all learn to fly any ship and use any wepon/module.
Ship wise it depends on your PvP style.
Caldari are pretty poor at PvP exept the Rokh battleship which is a very good sniper. Or the scorpion which is a decent ECM ship.
Mimitar Are good at PvP there ships are fast and have a long range with a good Alpha strike.
Amarr They too are good but sadly tho it takes a while right now to get the skills needed to be good.
Gallent overall very good with ships capable of good speed and decent damage with there blasters they also ahve the best drones thanks to there drone based ship bonuses.
So chose a race you like the look of and the lore you like then chose which racial ship type to fly then train yur skills there.
minmater have the fastest ships, gallente have the slowest generally....if you look at the fastest frigates, from fasetst to slowest it goes minmater, amarr, caldari, and gallente....
transversal is pretty important to avoid getting smacked down, so its best to have the fastest possible ship in PVP, and having the fastest possible base speed is also important, why minmater are probably the better pvp'ers.......
if your not really trained in minmater ships, you can limp along with the other ships, but minmater do have the fastest frigates, and there is a reason why alot of pirates like speed.....

The game is dead not, this game is good we make it and Romania Tv give it 5 goat heads, this is good rating for game.
id say gallente overall. give u an example of my experiences. I have a T2 armor tank DOmi with 3 large NOS and 800mm railguns only 2 of them but i can hold up to roughly 14 or so large drones of wasp II's or Ogre II's (wasps tend to be good for ratting and orge for pvp) i already had several people sneak up on while im ratting a 1.5 million isk BS or just hovering around and needless to say they got a nasty surprise when they try to bite into me thinking they can take me. ended up with tells "wtf u got on your ship!'
lets just say the end results involved some renewed income in my bank lol. i find gallente excel in solo pvp but also do very well when involved in large group pvp. it all really depends on what ship you use, and use it properly in a conflict. oh yeah, strategy, and communication is key, i cant stress this enough! people who communicate and use tactics fast and effectively are the ones that tend to be the winners.

they really should of scanned your ship ahead of time, and looked at you as a player to see how many years you been playing....
If they are asking what your ship had after the fact, its not surprising they are dead......
fast ships still help alot with PVP....
Another thing that does help is range, it is nice to stay outside of things like NOS, so you don't power the other person's tanking....
I'm sure you know of equal skill/equal ships that aren't dominions that you'd have problems with if not completely lose to.......1 vs 1

This reminds me of a saying I was thinking about putting on my char here, it came from UO in regards to their publish 26..
They nerf us now so they can sell us tommorow what we had yesterday....

Oh yeah, I remember publish 26 very well; I think Ronald McDonald (a well known UO community member) said it best in his videos:
"It is what leveled noobs with the skilled players".
When it comes to actual ships, I'd say Gallente were the best (but not hugely better) than other races. Their slot layouts are better for PvP and usually allow to fit you either gank/tank in the low slots and warp scramblers/webs in the mid slots. Other races lack this nice slot layout like Amarr who lack the midslots to solo PvP on some of their ships, and Caldari whose midslots are taken up by a shield tank restricting room for PvP mods.
The most important note to take down when training towards PvP in my opinion is to specialise. Pick a race and stick to it; don't waste skill points cross training for multiple races otherwise you'll find you can fly all races ships but none of them well.
Also, blaster domi > nos domi.

Log into test server and take a look
I was on yesterday and they hadn't implemented the changes.

That makes two of us, from my corp was saying earlier today NOS were effected by target sig radius (simular to guns and missiles).
I'd like the last option to be honest. Sig radius nerf means heavy nos (which are the most overpowered) will still work at full effect against battleships.
