Battlecruisers also have the ability to fit a single [[Warfare Link|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. | Battlecruisers also have the ability to fit a single [[Warfare Link|warfare link]], which can give extra bonuses to your gang.

* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Prophecy]]: Can tank better than some battleships. Usually bait. Low dps. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Harbinger]]: High DPS, can tank well. Can be fast when it isn't loaded down with armor plates. Very cap-dependant, since it uses lasers. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Ferox]]: Hybrid turret gunboat. Not very popular. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Drake]]: Amazing passive shield tank for PvE combat (with low dps). Alternatively, good PvP dps when fitted with Heavy Assault Missiles. Drakes are often bait in PvP. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Brutix]]: Blaster gunboat, high point-blank dps, usually not well tanked. Sometimes mounts a PvP shield buffer tank for speed and to clear lowslots for damage mods. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Myrmidon]]: Versatile drone boat. Usually mounts an active armor tank. Can also mount a passive shield tank. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Cyclone]]: Respectable dps, bonuses for active shield tanking. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Hurricane]]: High dps and high speed. Can mount an active armor tank, buffer armor or shield tanks, or even a passive shield tank. | ||

One battlecruiser from each of the four factions is capable of mounting battleship-sized (i.e. large) weapons (as opposed to the medium-sized weapons normally mounted by battlecruisers). These ships can therefore deal almost as much damage as a battleship, but with a much weaker tank, and are often referred to as "tier 3" battlecruisers (not to be confused with [[Strategic Cruiser|Tech 3 Strategic Cruisers]]; the "tier" nomenclature is a relic of the way ships were designed before the [[:Category:Eve_Lexicon#Tiericide|tiericide]]). | One battlecruiser from each of the four factions is capable of mounting battleship-sized (i.e. large) weapons (as opposed to the medium-sized weapons normally mounted by battlecruisers).

* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis amarr|22px}}[[Oracle]]: Able to fit Battleship-sized lasers. Most often used as snipers fit for amazing alpha. A bit slower compared to the other Tier 3's. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis caldari|22px}}[[Naga]]: Battleship-sized hybrid turret platform, favoring railguns, forgoing the normally impressive tank of its brethren. Easiest battlecruiser to fit for sniper combat. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis gallente|22px}}[[Talos]]: Blasterboat toting Battleship-grade guns. Next to no tank, making it very risky to fly into close quarters combat that blasters normally favor. | ||
* {{icon| | * {{icon|isis minmatar|22px}}[[Tornado]]: Minmatar's Battleship gun toter. Fastest of the Tier 3's, usually fit with high alpha artillery racks. | ||
