In PvP Tech 1 battlecruisers represent a good balance between DPS, tanking, agility, speed and cost (they cost much less to lose than a battleship). Battlecruisers can be fitted for long or short range pvp combat. In large-scale alliance battles in nullsec they are often part of each side's 'support fleet', defending the main battleship fleet from attack.

In PvE Tech 1 battlecruisers are the standard tool for completing Level 3 combat missions. Several battlecruisers can mount [[Shield tanking#Shield Tanking Styles|passive shield tanks]] ideal for pve combat; the Caldari Drake can mount an absolutely exceptional passive shield tank. Battlecruisers are also suitable salvage ships for the large amount of loot produced by Level 4 missions.

Battlecruisers also have the ability to fit a single warfare link, which can give extra bonuses to your gang. Warfare links will be described in more detail in the section below on command ships.
