A type of [[spacecraft|spaceships]] from the [[EVE Online]].
Flexible fitting vessels that bridge the gap between [[cruiser (EVE Online)|]]s and [[battleship (EVE Online)|]]s.

Battlecruisers are larger, slower and have more slots than cruisers, but they're smaller than battleships and fit the same medium-sized weapons that cruisers use. They occupy a position between cruisers and battleships analogous to [[destroyer (EVE Online)|]]s' position between [[frigate (EVE Online)|]]s and cruisers, although battlecruisers are much more versatile and widely-used than destroyers. Most battlecruisers can mount Command Bursts, modules capable of giving significant bonuses to nearby allied ships. Tech 1 battlecruisers are the least character-skill-intensive and most accessible hull with this ability.
One group of [[Tech 2 ship (EVE Online)|]]s, Command Ships, are based on battlecruiser hulls. Command Ships are more durable and dangerous versions of their Tech 1 base hulls, with space for more Command Bursts and bonuses to either the strength or the range of their bursts.
