=== Command Ships ===

Command ships are battlecruisers with exceptional tank, stronger DPS, and a significant bonus to the effectiveness of [[Command Bursts|Command Burst]] modules. They are very SP-intensive ships, requiring Fleet Support skills, but are functionally very simple ships, mostly acting as direct upgrades to their tech I variants. Their durability and simplicity lends them to being flown by the fleet commanders of small fleets. They can operate 2 Command Burst modules simultaneously, can be rigged to operate up to 4 bursts, and provide the most powerful command bursts of any ships. Each command ship's strength bonus applies to two, racially determined, burst types.

==== Attack Command Ships ====

Attack command ships are specialized towards high damage and strong command bursts. They lose the innate 50% command burst range bonus from T1 Battlecruisers, but in exchange feature a 4%/level strength bonus. They also have two ship bonuses that improve DPS.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Absolution]]: Very high DPS, and omni-resistant armor. Armor and Information Command.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Nighthawk]]: Powerful kinetic heavy and heavy assault missiles, and also very durable thanks to a shield resistance bonus. Shield and Information.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Astarte]]: A Brutix but with actual armor. Superior blaster damage, and can survive on the front lines. Armor and Skirmish.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Sleipnir]]: The final word in medium artillery platforms. High speed, omni-resistant shields, and high alpha. Shield and Skirmish.

==== Fleet Command Ships ====

Fleet command ships are specialized towards survivability and powerful long range bursts. They feature a 100% command burst range bonus, and 3%/level strength bonus. They all have a resistance bonus that improves survivability, and the Damnnation and Vulture further have a bonus that increases their armor and shield HP, respectively.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Damnation]]: The most durable subcapital ship in the game, however still suffers from low damage. Armor and Information.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Nighthawk]]: The most durable shield-tanked subcapital. Shield and Information.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Vulture]]: Ideal command ship for railgun-based battles due to range and natural resistance, and the most durable shield subcapital. Shield and Information.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Vulture]]: Ideal command ship for railgun-based battles due to range and natural resistance~~. Shield and Information.~~

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Eos]]: Sentry drone carrier. Commonly used as an FC ship in PVE fleets. Armor and Skirmish.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Astarte]]: A Brutix but with actual armor. Superior blaster damage, and ~~can survive on~~ the ~~front lines~~. ~~Armor~~ and ~~Skirmish~~.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Claymore]]: Less durable than the Vulture, but useful in missile fleets or where Skirmish links are needed. Extremely high rate-of-fire. Shield and Skirmish.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Eos]]: ~~Heavy~~ drone carrier. Commonly used as an FC ship in PVE fleets. Armor and Skirmish.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Claymore]]: Less durable than the ~~Nighthawk~~, but useful in missile fleets where Skirmish links are needed. Extremely high rate-of-fire~~. Shield and Skirmish.~~

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Sleipnir]]: The final word in medium artillery platforms. Fastest command ship, omni-resistant shields, and high alpha. Shield and Skirmish.
