A '''ship''' or '''spaceship''' in EVE Online is an entity used to traverse space, battle enemy forces, ferry materials and products, provide logistical services along with many other uses. A ship may be piloted by a capsuleer(players) or non-player characters such as [[CONCORD]], faction militaries, civilian industrialists, outlawed paramilitary and pirate forces. | |||

Being able to fly a ship, and being able to fly a ship well, are two very different things. While the command skill may let you get into a ship and undock it from a station, this is only the first step in using a ship properly. In addition to the skills you will need to fit all of the guns and mods you want to use, there is an entire suite of [[Support Skills]] you should read about as well. | Being able to fly a ship, and being able to fly a ship well, are two very different things.

Ships are merely empty hulls just waiting to be equipped with all of the guns and modules that enable them to do a job. The process of equipping a ship is known as "fitting" the ship, and it's an expansive topic. The [[Fitting Guidelines]] is an excellent place to start learning about fitting a ship. | Ships are merely empty hulls just waiting to be equipped with all of the guns and modules that enable them to do a job.

Almost 14 kilometers in length, it is over 200 times longer than the Punisher, an Amarrian frigate.]]As ships increase in size they gain more hitpoints, theoretical damage and module slots. They sacrifice mobility and damage application against smaller targets. Remember: Bigger isn't always better in EVE.
