'''Capital ships''' are the largest player-piloted ships in EVE. True capitals can only operate outside of [[high-sec]] space. While they can use stargates to travel (except to high-sec), they can also jump between star systems using built-in [[jump drives]]. | '''Capital ships''' are the largest player-piloted ships in EVE.

'''Lancer Dreadnoughts''' ("Lancers") are Tech 2 dreadnoughts. They can fit the special disruptive lance, which is a miniature version of the titan lance. Lancers deal less damage than Tech 1 or faction dreadnoughts but have better tank thanks to the Tech 2 resist profile. | |||

'''Carriers''' are capital ships with the ability to control Light and Support Fighters (frigate-sized [[drones]]). They also can store 1,000,000 m3 of '''assembled''' ships in their ship maintenance bay so pilots who lose their ships can quickly pick up a new one. Other ships from the carrier pilot's corporation (or fleet, depending on the carrier's settings) can also use it to refit in space. | '''Carriers''' are capital ships with the ability to control Light and Support Fighters (frigate-sized [[drones]]).

The Capital micro jump field generator works much the same way as the sub-capital one except that the jumping carrier can take up to 5 capital ships with it in addition to the subcapital ships. | ||
Carriers also can [[conduit jump]], taking 5 sub-capital ships with them during an intersystem jump. The skill {{Sk|Capital Jump Portal Generation}} can increase this limit by 5 ships per skill level. | |||

It has a maintenance bay, corporate hangar, a huge mining hold, and the ability to fit bonused mining leadership links. The Rorqual can fit capital tractor beams and clone vat bays. In addition, the Rorqual has a jump drive and the ability to compress ore. The Rorqual does have a 50%/level range bonus to capital shield transfers and a 20%/level drone damage bonus, so while it's not intended as a PVP ship, some people have been known to use it for that. The Rorqual has a non-capital little sister, the Orca, that can be seen supporting many highsec mining fleets. | ||

The [[Orca]] sits on the border between capital and subcapital, as while it can only equip battleship-sized modules and does not require capital skills, it is larger, slower, and more durable than any battleship.
