== Faction Battleships ==

~~Faction variants of Battleships usually cost several hundred million ISK and~~ are ~~now available on~~ the ~~market as well as through contracts~~.

Various NPC factions offer special battleships through their LP stores. They are more powerful than the T1 battleships, but can be prohibitively expensive.

=== Empire Faction Battleships ===

The 'Navy Issue' or 'Fleet Issue' battleships are, with the exception of the Scorpion Navy Issue, souped-up versions of the normal BS, with extra slots, more hitpoints &c.

* {{icon|amarr2|22}}[[Apocalypse Navy Issue]]: Range bonus for lasers plus the huge capacitor makes for a popular mission runner.

* {{icon|amarr2|22}}[[Armageddon Navy Issue]]: Interesting combination of lasers and a huge drone bay. Weak capacitor though.

* {{icon|caldari2|22}}[[Raven Navy Issue]]: Popular for blitzing missions as fast or faster than a Golem (but not as good for salvaging).

* {{icon|caldari2|22}}[[Scorpion Navy Issue]]: Not an ECM boat like the Scorpion. Like a Raven with a tougher tank but less range.

* {{icon|gallente2|22}}[[Dominix Navy Issue]]

* {{icon|gallente2|22}}[[Megathron Navy Issue]]

* {{icon|minmatar2|22}}[[Tempest Fleet Issue]]

* {{icon|minmatar2|22}}[[Typhoon Fleet Issue]]

=== Other Faction Battleships ===

The pirate faction battleships are more unique, requiring two races' BS piloting skills and bringing unusual tactical combinations to the table.

* ~~[[Apocalypse Navy Issue]] -- Range bonus for lasers plus the huge capacitor makes for a popular mission runner.~~

* {{icon|mordu|22|Mordu's Legion}}[[Barghest]]

* [[Armageddon Navy Issue]] -- Interesting combination of lasers and a huge drone bay. Weak capacitor though.

* {{icon|blood raiders|22|Blood Raiders}}[[Bhaalgorn]]: Tough and powerful capacitor warfare platform. Not much use in PvE. Significantly less popular now the [[Armageddon]] has similar bonuses for a fraction of the price.

* [[Barghest]]

* {{icon|angels|22|Angel Cartel}}[[Machariel]]: Incredibly fast and agile (for a BS), and capable of dealing lots of damage. Popular for PvP, and for PvE, where it rivals the Vargur's mission completion speed.

* [[Bhaalgorn]] -- Tough and powerful capacitor warfare platform. Not much use in PvE. Significantly less popular now the [[Armageddon]] has similar bonuses for a fraction of the price.

* {{icon|sisters|22|Sisters of Eve}}[[Nestor]]: A curious ship with bonuses to hacking, exploration, and logistics.

* [[Machariel]] -- Incredibly fast and agile (for a BS), and capable of dealing lots of damage. Popular for PvP, and for PvE, where it rivals the Vargur's mission completion speed.

* {{icon|sansha|22|Sansha's Nation}}[[Nightmare]]: Good laser platform. Can combine shield-tanking with lasers. Arguably a better mission runner for EM weak factions, compared to the Machariel.

* ~~[[Megathron Navy Issue]]~~

* {{icon|guristas|22|Guristas}}[[Rattlesnake]]: Caldari-style shield-tanking, Gallente-style drone bonuses. The only BS that can mount a really effective passive shield tank for PvE.

* [[Nestor]]

* {{icon|serpentis|22|Serpentis}}[[Vindicator]]: Popular blaster platform, as the webbing bonus helps it force its targets into blaster range.

* [[Nightmare]] -- Good laser platform. Can combine shield-tanking with lasers. Arguably a better mission runner for EM weak factions, compared to the Machariel.

* [[Rattlesnake]] -- Caldari-style shield-tanking, Gallente-style drone bonuses. The only BS that can mount a really effective passive shield tank for PvE.

* ~~[[Raven Navy Issue]] -- Popular for blitzing missions as fast or faster than a Golem (but not as good for salvaging).~~

* [[Scorpion Navy Issue]] -- Not an ECM boat like the Scorpion. Like a Raven with a tougher tank but less range.

* [[Tempest Fleet Issue]]
