* {{Sh|Drekavac}}: Heavily armored, and if given time can ramp up to exceed battleships in DPS. Three utility high slots for neutralizers, nosferatus, [[smartbombs]], or even remote armor repairers.

* {{sh|Gnosis}}: A "Limited Edition" Jovian / SOCT ship, given for free to pilots on every year's anniversary of the game's launch. Requires no skills to fly, has bonuses to all forms of weapons, aligns quickly, fields a very large cargo bay, and can be equally well Shielded or Armored. Very much a jack of all trades. However, it has fewer turrets and shorter range than other battlecruisers, and does not benefit from any ship skill training, meaning that while it is an excellent ship for newer pilots, it will be out-performed by other ships with better training.

* {{Sh|Khizriel}}: ~~The speed~~ and ~~formidable firepower of the Khizriel is enhanced by top-of-the-line shield and armor systems protecting an unusually~~ agile ~~battlecruiser. The Khizriel's ability to strike from surprise, destroy its targets~~, and ~~rapidly evade reprisals may be unmatched among pirate vessels, and is clearly intended~~ to be a ~~serious thorn in the side of empire border patrols~~ and ~~CONCORD security forces~~.

* {{Sh|Khizriel}}: Unusually fast and agile, and very good DPS with projectile turrets (due to a bonus to both damage ''and'' fire rate). Can work well either armor or shield tanked.

* {{Sh|Alligator}}: ~~With~~ the ~~ability to field a full rack of launchers, a flight of upgraded medium combat~~ drones, and ~~formidable defensive shields, the Alligator meets the Guristas need for an assault ship capable of taking on empire patrols and supporting raids against more targets across New Eden~~.

* {{Sh|Alligator}}: Almost a direct (if expensive) upgrade from the Caldari [[Drake]]. Much higher DPS with its massively bonused drones, and similar tank.
