Roles

Battlecruisers are powerful vessels larger than cruisers, but optimised for cruiser class weapons. They can use seven, or eight weapons at once. This means they can efficiently attack cruiser class targets as well as larger vessels.

Battllecruisers also have the special ability to fit gang assist modules. Their tech 2 variants, command ships, also share this ability. Gang assist modules afford a bonus to other vessels in a gang or fleet. This means that a battlecruiser can make all the vessels in a gang or fleet more powerful.

The battlecruisers skill is non-racial, meaning that it enables all races battlecruisers, but the vessels them selves also require racial cruiser skills – although not to a high level.

In addition to their intended roles, battlecruisers can make excellent (but expensive) salvage vessels due to their many high slots, good cargo and adequate speed.
