They are so large that Supercarriers and Titans (collectively known as "supercapitals") can't even dock at stations. They use their own [[Jump_Drives_and_Cynosural_Fields#Jump_Drives|jump drives]] to travel between star systems. In order to do this, they require fuel (racial isotopes: Helium for Amarr, Oxygen for Gallente and the Rorqual, Nitrogen for Caldari and Hydrogen for Minmatar) and a cynosural field (created by another ship) to jump to. | ||
Capital ships can only be built outside of [[high-sec]], and supercapitals can only be built in a nullsec system where your alliance has [[sovereignty]]. Since cynosural fields ("cynos") cannot be lit in highsec, capitals can never travel to there. Smaller capital ships (Dreadnoughts, Carriers, and Rorquals) can travel through [[Wormhole Information|wormholes]] (provided they are sufficiently large), whereas supercapitals cannot use wormholes or be built in [[Wormhole Space|wormhole space]]. | Capital ships can only be built outside of [[high-sec]], and supercapitals can only be built in a nullsec system where your alliance has [[sovereignty]].

{{expansion past|It was once possible to build capital ships in highsec, so there are still a few that never jumped out of the system they were built in. If they ever do jump out, they will never be able to return, and while they're in highsec they are not allowed to be used for anything that gives the owner any kind of advantage compared to someone that does not own a high sec capital ship; during wars, they're not even allowed to undock. If the pilot breaks these rules, he or she will receive a temporary ban, and the capital ship will be moved to a station in a nearby low sec system.}} | {{expansion past|It was once possible to build capital ships in highsec, so there are still a few that never jumped out of the system they were built in.
