'''Battleships''' ("BSs", sometimes "BBs" from US Navy terminology) are the biggest, heaviest sub-capital combat ships in the game. They are correspondingly expensive, with even the cheapest battleship hulls selling for hundreds of millions of ISK. Tech 1 battleships are standard tools in PvP and PvE combat. 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''' ("BSs", sometimes "BBs" from US Navy terminology) are the biggest, heaviest sub-capital combat ships in the game.

Battleships are the only ship class that is planned to have the Frigate Escape Bay, a recently announced feature that will let Battleships store a fitted T1 [[Frigate]], [[Assault Frigate]], [[Electronic Attack Ship]], or [[Logistics Frigate]] that a capsuleer can be ejected into upon the destruction of their battleship.<ref>[https://www.eveonline.com/article/q6087d/frigate-escape-bay-is-coming Frigate Escape Bay is Coming! - EVE Online]</ref> | |||

Marauders are predominantly used as solo-PvE ships, able to survive wave after wave of NPC forces, shrug off the damage, batter them down with their large weapons, and micro-jump frequently to dictate range. However, their high price point, limited defenses when not in Bastion, and immobility, neutralizer vulnerability, and forced reliance on local repairs when in Bastion, limit their effectiveness in PVP. On the rare occasion when they are used in PVP, Marauders are most commonly flown either as solo juggernauts in small fights, or in very rare and specific fleet support applications. | Marauders are predominantly used as solo-PvE ships, able to survive wave after wave of NPC forces, shrug off the damage, batter them down with their large weapons, and micro-jump frequently to dictate range.
