Combat battlecruisers also have the ability to fit a single [[Command Bursts|Command Burst]], which can give extra bonuses to your fleet.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Harbinger]]: High DPS, solid armor. Can be fast when it isn't loaded down with armor plates. Very cap-dependant, since it uses lasers.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Prophecy]]: Can tank better than some battleships. Usually bait. Low DPS.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Harbinger]]: High DPS, can tank well. Can be fast when it isn't loaded down with armor plates. Very cap-dependant, since it uses lasers.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Ferox]]: Hybrid turret gunboat. Very long range with railguns, but somewhat limited damage. Popular for larger fleets because it is very durable for its price, can switch between targets quickly, and can out-range most other ships.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Ferox]]: Hybrid turret gunboat. Very long range with railguns. Popular for larger fleets because it ~~offers a lot of DPS and Tank~~ for its price.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Drake]]: Amazing passive shield tank for PvE combat, however low DPS with Heavy missiles. Alternatively, good close-range DPS and still solid tank when fitted with Heavy Assault Missiles. Often bait.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Drake]]: Amazing passive shield tank for PvE combat, however low DPS with Heavy missiles. Alternatively, good ~~PvP~~ DPS when fitted with Heavy Assault Missiles. Often bait ~~in PvP~~.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Brutix]]: Blaster gunboat, high point-blank DPS, very commonly ''Hull'' tanked and used as bait. Sometimes alternatively fit with a shield buffer tank, railguns, and Nanofibers, for speed and skirmishing.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Brutix]]: Blaster gunboat, high point-blank DPS, ~~usually not well~~ tanked. Sometimes ~~mounts~~ a ~~PvP~~ shield buffer tank for speed and ~~to clear lowslots for damage mods~~.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Myrmidon]]: Versatile drone boat. Usually mounts an active armor tank. Can also mount a passive shield tank.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Cyclone]]: Respectable missile DPS, bonuses for active shield tanking.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Cyclone]]: Respectable missile DPS, bonuses for active shield tanking, but somewhat fragile.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Hurricane]]: High projectile DPS and high speed. Viable with autocannons, popular with artillery. Can mount an active armor tank, buffer armor or shield tanks, or even a passive shield tank.

* {{icon|isis triglavian|22}}[[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 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.

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.
