'''Battleships''' ('''BSs''', rarely '''BBs''' from US Navy terminology) are the biggest, heaviest sub-capital combat ships in EVE Online. They are correspondingly expensive, with even the cheapest battleship hulls selling for hundreds of millions of ISK. Tech 1 battleships are standard tools in higher-level PvE combat, are used in some large fleet [[Doctrines|doctrines]] in PvP combat, and are sometimes also used for solo or small gang PvP. | '''Battleships''' ('''BSs''', rarely '''BBs''' from US Navy terminology) are the biggest, heaviest sub-capital combat ships in EVE Online.

There are two classes of Tech 2 battleships: '''Marauders''', which are specialized for mission-running, and '''Black Ops''' battleships, which can either transport fleets of stealthy ships across long distances using covert cynosural fields or open the door for friendly capital ships to join a fight. | There are two classes of Tech 2 battleships: '''[[Marauders]]''', which are specialized for mission-running, and '''[[Black Ops]]''' battleships, which can either transport fleets of stealthy ships across long distances using covert cynosural fields or open the door for friendly capital ships to join a fight. | ||

Battleships use large weapons that are poor against small targets like frigates. All battleships (except [[Marshal]]) have a drone bay, allowing them to use [[drone]]s to engage and kill enemies that they cannot hit with ship weapons. | Battleships use large weapons that are poor against small targets like frigates.

Black Ops battleships (also "BLOPs") are designed for covert operations behind enemy lines. For that they have the ability to [[jump]], [[Jump drives#Bridging|bridge]], and conduit jump to any [[cyno]] especially [[Jump_drives#Covert_Cynosural_Fields|covert cynos]]. Black Ops gameplay usually means: jump in, kill the target, get safe, jump out. | Black Ops battleships (also "BLOPs") are designed for covert operations behind enemy lines.

It, however, has a longer align time than most frigates, and it is ill-advised to push a Venture in a battleship. | ||
If a frigate is inside the bay when the pilot ejects from the battleship, either the battleship is destroyed or a manual ejection is committed, the pilot will be ejected ''in the frigate'' instead of their capsule. | If a frigate is inside the bay when the pilot ejects from the battleship, either the battleship is destroyed or a manual ejection is committed, the pilot will be ejected ''in the frigate'' instead of their capsule. | ||
