In PvP, Tech 1 battleships can mount great buffer tanks and can deal very high DPS when fitted for short ranges. When mounting long-range "sniper" fits, battleships can fight at the very longest ranges possible in Eve's engine (as far as 300km), while still dealing effective DPS. Such sniper-fit battleships—commonly the Apocalypse, Megathron, Maelstrom, Tempest and Rokh—have at times been the backbone of fleets used to fight for territory in nullsec. One battleship is something of an exception: the Caldari Scorpion, with its bonuses for ECM, is the only Tech 1 [[Electronic warfare|electronic warfare]] battleship. | In PvP, Tech 1 battleships can mount great buffer tanks and can deal very high DPS when fitted for short ranges.

*[[Leshak]]: Very high DPS after spool-up and good base stats give it performance (and price tag) similar to pirate battleships. Utility high slots make for powerful smartbomb and neutralizer support.

* {{icon|isis serpentis|22|Serpentis}}[[Vindicator]]: The ultimate Megathron, and the be-all end-all of non-Triglavian subcapital DPS. Very popular for [[Incursions]] and [[Invasion]]s.
