A type of [[spacecraft|spaceships]] from the [[EVE Online]].
Large, durable but slow vessels designed for heavy duty engagement.

Battleships (BSs, rarely BBs from US [[Navy]] terminology) are the biggest, heaviest sub-capital [[combat ship (EVE Online)|]]s in EVE Online. They are correspondingly expensive, with even the cheapest battleship hulls selling for hundreds of millions of ISK. Tech 1 battleships are standard tools in higher-level PvE combat, are used in some large [[fleet]] doctrines in PvP combat, and are sometimes also used for solo or small gang PvP.
There are two classes of [[Tech 2 ship (EVE Online)|Tech 2]] battleships: [[Marauder (EVE Online)|]]s, which are specialized for mission-running, and Black Ops battleships, which can either transport fleets of stealthy ships across long distances using covert cynosural fields or open the door for friendly [[capital ship (EVE Online)|]]s to join a fight.
All battleships also come equipped with a [[Frigate (EVE Online)|]] Escape Bay, enabling battleship pilots to stay in a fight after their battleship explodes.
All battleships (except Praxis) have a role bonus known as the "battleship role bonus": 100% bonus to Shield Extender hitpoints, 50% bonus to Armor Plate hitpoints, 5% Additional bonus to Reinforced Bulkhead hitpoints.
Battleships use large weapons that are poor against small targets like frigates. All battleships (except Marshal) have a drone bay, allowing them to use [[combat drone (EVE Online)|drones]] to engage and kill enemies that they cannot hit with ship weapons.
