Cruisers are Eve's medium-sized ships, larger than [[Frigate|frigates]] and [[Destroyer|destroyers]] but still much smaller, faster and nimbler than [[Battlecruiser|battlecruisers]] and [[Battleships|battleships]]. Cruisers mount medium-sized weapons and modules. Tech 1 cruiser hulls cost a few million ISK and tend to be the first major financial step up from frigates for new pilots.

There are four classes of Tech 2 cruisers, which are more powerful, more focused on a particular role and much more expensive than their Tech 1 equivalents: Recons (advanced force-multiplying electronic warfare platforms), Heavy Assault Ships (powerful damage-dealers), Heavy Interdictors (nullsec super-tacklers) and Logistics cruisers (remote repair platforms). Cruisers are also the only ship class that currently has a Tech 3 version, the [[Strategic Cruiser|strategic cruisers]].
