Each empire has one battlecruiser capable of mounting battleship-sized (i.e. large) weapons (as opposed to the medium-sized weapons normally mounted by battlecruisers). These ships can therefore deal almost as much damage as a battleship, but with a much weaker tank, and are often referred to as "tier 3" battlecruisers (not to be confused with [[Strategic Cruiser|Tech 3 Strategic Cruisers]]; the "tier" nomenclature is a relic of the way ships were designed before the [[EVE Lexicon#Tiericide|tiericide]]). | Each empire has one battlecruiser capable of mounting battleship-sized (i.e. large) weapons (as opposed to the medium-sized weapons normally mounted by battlecruisers).

* {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Oracle]]: | * {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Oracle]]: Battleship-sized laser platform. Commonly used as either a sniper, or a structure bashing ship. Slower than other attack BCs, but ironically also the best in nanogang combat. | ||
* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Naga]]: | * {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Naga]]: Ultra-long-range railgun platform. Generally sacrifices all conventional defenses to potentially reach 300km range. Easiest battlecruiser to fit for sniper combat. | ||
* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Talos]]: | * {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Talos]]: Battleship-grade blasters on cruiser-grade armor. Risky to use in close range, but extremely high damage. | ||
* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Tornado]]: | * {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Tornado]]: Despite its bonuses implying it be an autocannon platform, almost exclusively used with 1400mm artillery. Extremely popular suicide ganking ship due to extremely high alpha damage. | ||
