[[File:Battlecruiser-Mass.svg|400px|thumb|right|Mass of battlecruisers. The mass ranges from 11.8 to 15.5. The Gnosis (10) and Drekavac (10.7) are lighter outliers. It's notable that the attack battlecruisers are on the heavier side which partially makes up for their higher base velocity.]]

[[File:Battlecruiser-Signature_Radius.svg|400px|thumb|right|Signature radius of battlecruisers. Typical values range from 240 to 305. The Ferox has an extra big sig with 325 while the attack battlecruisers all have an extra small sig.]]

[[File:Battlecruiser-Targeting_Range.svg|400px|thumb|right|Targeting Range of battlecruisers. Typical are values between 50 and 75. The Nighthawk and Vulture have a higher targeting range with 80 and 95 respectively. The T2 variants generally tend to have better range.]]

[[File:Battlecruiser-Scan_Resolution.svg|400px|thumb|right|Scan resolution of battlecruisers. T1 and faction hulls have values between 195 and 230. T2 hulls between 234 and 264. The Gnosis is a big outlier with 300.]]

'''Battlecruisers''' are larger, slower and have more slots than [[Cruiser|cruisers]], but they're smaller than [[Battleship|battleships]] and fit the same medium-sized weapons that cruisers use. They occupy a position between cruisers and battleships analogous to [[Destroyer|destroyers]]' position between [[Frigate|frigates]] and [[Cruiser|cruisers]], although battlecruisers are much more versatile and widely-used than destroyers. Most battlecruisers can mount [[Command Bursts]], modules capable of giving significant bonuses to nearby allied ships. Tech 1 battlecruisers are the least character-skill-intensive and most accessible hull with this ability.
