[edit] Shuttles

Shuttles are cheap transports allowing you to move considerably faster than you would in a Pod. They also have very small cargoholds (10m³) and can fit no modules.

Frigates are the smallest normal ship class in eve. Their speed and disposability make them useful for tackling. There are also frigates made to mine and haul. Every newbie should start here. See also EW Frigates, as these are a very important component of our new fleet makeup. Effective combat frigates have been marked with an asterisk (*), try to use only these in combat to avoid wasting time and looking rather silly.

Faction Frigates are mostly a curiosity and a bragging right; they cost far too much to be used in normal combat by normal pilots; they are mostly used by eccentric Isk-Billionaires.

Faction frigates are recieved as Loyalty Point Offers from Missions, and rarely Blueprint Copy drops from NPC Pirates.

If you're new and want to know what the basic PvP loadouts are for your shiny new frigates, see the Newbie Frigate Setups guide.

[edit] Assault Ships

Assault Frigates are heavier, stronger, and deadlier versions of Frigates. They are able to mount more guns and have stronger resistances, however they are much heavier and slower than normal frigates. Assault frigates are good at taking out other frigates at short - medium ranges. They can also NPC well and work as heavy Tacklers. Generally used in small-gang combat where their increased defenses over a standard frigate shine. Assault Frigates are generally too slow to work as fleet tacklers when compared to the far nimbler Interceptors class. These ships are terrible at everything, never fly one

Caldari	Harpy	Hawk
Gallente	Enyo	Ishkur
Minmatar	Wolf	Jaguar

[edit] Covert Ops

There are two types of covert ops ships. the Anathema, Buzzard, Cheetah, and Helios are able to use covert ops cloaking devices to warp while cloaked. They are useful for scouting enemy fleets and setting warp-in points on them. They also have a bonus to Scan Probes launchers, allowing them to scan out enemy safespots. Information on flying covert ops ships effectively is available on the Scouting page.

The remaining frigates, the Hound, Manticore, Nemesis, and Purifier, are classified as stealth bombers. These frigates have a bonus to using the battleship-sized torpedo missile launchers, allowing them to fit them and having a bonus to be able to hit smaller ships with them. They can fit covert ops cloaks, so they can warp while cloaked. Stealth bombers are the only ship capable of using Bombs, which are expensive one-shot smartbombs that are designed to kill fighters and break up gatecamps. As of Apocrypha, these ships are no longer gimmicky trash. Now they are just gimmicky.

	Covert Ops	Stealth Bomber
Amarr	Anathema	Purifier
Caldari	Buzzard	Manticore
Gallente	Helios	Nemesis
Minmatar	Cheetah	Hound

[edit] Interceptors

Interceptors are a Tech 2 frigate specialised in being extremely fast, manuverable and hard to pin down. They are used primarily in a tackler role, closing the gap between opposing fleets in the blink of an eye to lock down priority targets or provide a fleet warpin right on top of the enemy. Flying Interceptors is a topic unto itself.

Amarr	Malediction	Crusader
Caldari	Raptor	Crow
Gallente	Ares	Taranis
Minmatar	Stiletto	Claw

[edit] Electronic Attack Ships

Electronic Attack Ships are a new type of Tech 2 frigates introduced with the Trinity expansion in December 2007. Basically, they are frigate sized versions of the Combat Recon ships and fill much of the same support role in small and medium gangs. However, their solo capabilities are severely limited and in fact bordering on nonexistent; while they have excellent electronic warfare capabilities for their size, their damage output is low even by frigate standards.

Amarr	Sentinel
Caldari	Kitsune
Gallente	Keres
Minmatar	Hyena

[edit] Destroyers

Destroyers are a ship class that uses many frigate-sized guns. They work well against other T1 frigates, small ships, and fighter drones, and are excellent for doing level 1 and 2 missions.

Amarr	Coercer
Caldari	Cormorant
Gallente	Catalyst
Minmatar	Thrasher

[edit] Interdictors

Interdictors are advanced destroyers, used to deploy a warp bubble to trap enemy ships.

Amarr	Heretic
Caldari	Flycatcher
Gallente	Eris
Minmatar	Sabre

[edit] Cruisers

Cruisers are the 'middle class' version of ships in Eve, and perhaps the most varied and versatile. There are cruisers built for PvP, PvE, mining, hauling, support, and various other tasks.

	Support	E. War	Light Combat	Heavy Combat
Amarr	Augoror (Navy Issue)	Arbitrator	Omen (Navy Issue)	Maller
Caldari	Osprey (Navy Issue)	Blackbird	Caracal (Navy Issue)	Moa
Gallente	Exequror (Navy Issue)	Celestis	Vexor (Navy Issue)	Thorax
Minmatar	Scythe (Fleet Issue)	Bellicose	Stabber (Fleet Issue)	Rupture

Faction	Racial skills	Pirate Cruiser
Angel	MG	Cynabal
Blood Raider	AM	Ashimmu
Gurista	CG	Gila
Sansha	AC	Phantasm
Serpentis	GM	Vigilant

[edit] Heavy Assault Ships

Heavy Assault Cruisers are upgraded cruisers that have massive resistances and improved firepower. With the right setup, these ships can go toe-to-toe with a battleship. These ships are also excellent in PvE and running Complexes.

Amarr	Zealot	Sacrilege
Caldari	Cerberus	Eagle
Gallente	Ishtar	Deimos
Minmatar	Vagabond	Muninn

[edit] Recon Ships

Advanced cruisers designed towards scouting and Electronic Warfare of various kinds. See Recon Ships.

	Force Recon	Combat Recon
Amarr	Pilgrim	Curse
Caldari	Falcon	Rook
Gallente	Arazu	Lachesis
Minmatar	Rapier	Huginn

[edit] Logistics Ships

Support cruisers, also called Logistics, are T2 cruisers that are used to support other ships in battle by restoring shield, armor, energy, and boosting their weapons.

Amarr	Guardian
Caldari	Basilisk
Gallente	Oneiros
Minmatar	Scimitar

[edit] Heavy Interdictors

Heavy interdictors are cruiser-sized interdictors with HAC resists. These are the only ships capable of using a Warp Disruption Field Generator, which is used either to prevent warping within a certain radius, or to focus as an "infinipoint" that prevents the target from warping, no matter its warp core strength.

Amarr	Devoter
Caldari	Onyx
Gallente	Phobos
Minmatar	Broadsword

[edit] Strategic Cruisers

Super cruisers for losing lots of your time and money blah blah

Amarr	Legion
Caldari	Tengu
Gallente	Proteus
Minmatar	Loki

[edit] Battlecruisers

These ships use cruiser-sized weapons and mods, but can fit more of them and have stronger defenses. These ships are excellent for level 3 missions and can kill many battleship spawns in Scalding Pass with the right setups. The ships cost around 20-30 mil for the Tier 1 ships, and 40-50 mil for the Tier 2 ships. Training for a battlecruiser is an excellent choice for those whose skills are too low for battleships but want to fight the bigger stuff.

Amarr	Prophecy	Harbinger
Caldari	Ferox	Drake
Gallente	Brutix	Myrmidon
Minmatar	Cyclone	Hurricane

[edit] Command Ships

Command Ships are the advanced version of Battlecruisers. They have awesome resistances, dizzying arrays of firepower, and bonuses to using gang support modules.

	Field Command	Fleet Command
Amarr	Absolution	Damnation
Caldari	Nighthawk	Vulture
Gallente	Astarte	Eos
Minmatar	Sleipnir	Claymore

[edit] Battleships

These are the mainstay ships of the line in player-vs-player fleet battles, and are useful for doing most high-end PvE content. They tend to be slow-moving, with heavy weapons, and are very easy to lose if a player does not have the requisite support skills to fly them

	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3
Amarr	Armageddon	Apocalypse (Navy Issue) (Imperial Issue)	Abaddon
Caldari	Scorpion	Raven (Navy Issue) (State Issue)	Rokh
Gallente	Dominix (Navy Issue)	Megathron (Navy Issue) (Federate Issue)	Hyperion
Minmatar	Typhoon	Tempest (Fleet Issue) (Tribal Issue)	Maelstrom

Faction	Racial skills	Pirate Battleship
Angel	MG	Machariel
Blood Raider	AM	Bhaalgorn
Gurista	CG	Rattlesnake
Sansha	AC	Nightmare
Serpentis	GM	Vindicator

[edit] Black Ops Battleships

Black Ops battleships are the Tech 2 counterparts to regular battleships. They are over sized stealth bombers which can jump bridge certain ships through a Cynosural field. They are expensive and rarely travel alone because of this.

Amarr	Redeemer
Caldari	Widow
Gallente	Sin
Minmatar	Panther

[edit] Marauders

Marauders are elite Tier 2 Battleships. They come with more firepower, bigger cargo/tractor beam bonuses for hoarding loot, and bigger shields. Overall, they cost a ton but are good multipurpose highest-damage subcapitals. They lack significant sensor strength, so their default hulls are extremely susceptible to EWAR.

Amarr	Paladin
Caldari	Golem
Gallente	Kronos
Minmatar	Vargur

[edit] Capital Ships

Capital ships require Racial Battleship V and several other long and expensive skills. Instead of using stargates, they must travel between systems by targeting their jump drive on a friendly Cynosural Field.

[edit] Dreadnoughts

Dreadnoughts are huge Capital Ships that are used to destroy Player Owned Stations and engage opposing enemy capital ships. They mount massive weapons and use a Siege Module to afford them the strongest ship defenses attainable in eve, at the cost of becoming immobile for a significant amount of time. Dreadnoughts are essential for territorial warfare, deciding which side controls systems through judicious use of their firepower.

Amarr	Revelation
Caldari	Phoenix
Gallente	Moros
Minmatar	Naglfar

[edit] Carriers

Carriers and their larger variants, Motherships, are Capital Ships designed to hold and deploy powerful fighter drones. They also have the ability to fit Warfare Link modules, in addition to certain logistic abilities, allowing friendly ships refit and to be carried within them. Carriers and Motherships can be deployed both as a heavy assault force delivering massive firepower in combat, or in a fleet support role by providing fighter cover and gang ability bonuses from afar. Costwise, carriers are entry level capital ships with a pricetag of under a billion ISK. Motherships provide their substantially improved abilities at far higher cost, starting at 15bn for a basic hull and several billion more to fit it out properly.

	Carrier	Mothership
Amarr	Archon	Aeon
Caldari	Chimera	Wyvern
Gallente	Thanatos	Nyx
Minmatar	Nidhoggur	Hel

[edit] Titans

Titans are the ultimate end-game vessel, deployed as a powerful fleet flagship. They provide an automatic attribute bonus to all gang members and can fit a copious amount of Warfare Link modules, massively boosting the abilities of the friendly fleet. They also have a Clone Vat Bay, which allows members to set their clone to the Titan and continue fighting in the event of death. A Titan's Jump Bridge Array allows it to fill in as a makeshift stargate, transporting friendly forces through a Cynosural Field to bypass chokepoints and save traveling time. Finally, the Doomsday Weapon is the ultimate tool in fleet combat. This creates a massive and indiscriminate explosion around the Titan, easily capable of destroying unprepared vessels before they can escape.

Amarr	Avatar
Caldari	Leviathan
Gallente	Erebus
Minmatar	Ragnarok

[edit] Industrial Ships

Industrial ships are slow, massive hulks made for one purpose: Hauling mass quantities of stuff.

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5
Amarr	Sigil	Bestower
Caldari	Badger		Badger Mark II
Gallente	Iteron	Iteron Mark II	Iteron Mark III	Iteron Mark IV	Iteron Mark V
Minmatar	Wreathe	Hoarder		Mammoth

[edit] Transport Ships

Transport ships improve on the industrial concepts. Each race has two variants: A faster blockade runner which boasts extra speed and can use a covops cloak, and deep space transports with elephantine holds, massive resistances, and a warp core strength bonus.

	Deep Space	Blockade Runner
Amarr	Impel	Prorator
Caldari	Bustard	Crane
Gallente	Occator	Viator
Minmatar	Mastodon	Prowler

[edit] Freighters

Very large ships, able to transport a world and a half and then some. Also the slowest, bulkiest ships in the damn game - takes forever to align, speed up and warp out. Due to NO defensive capabilities, if you're not in a convoy when flying one in 0.0, you'll die eleven times out of ten.

Freighters are not capital ships.

Amarr	Providence
Caldari	Charon
Gallente	Obelisk
Minmatar	Fenrir

[edit] Jump Freighters

Jump Freighters are Freighters with a built in jump drive, much like full Capital Ships. They have a significantly smaller cargohold than the standard freighters, but they can jump up to 5 LY - the same distance as a Dreadnought. They're also a fair bit tougher than standard freighters.

In Trinity 1.1, all Jump Freighters' speed bonus will be replaced with an agility bonus, the HP bonus will be extended to shields and armour (not just hull), and they will recieve an additional 25% cargo space by default.

[edit] Pirate Ships

Pirate Ships are ships constructed by a particular pirate faction. They typically draw bonuses from two different racial shiptypes, but with high levels in both they become extremely effective. Since they're only acquired by mission offers and the occasional BPC drop by faction rats/complexes, they also tend to be remarkably expensive.

Faction	Racial Skills	Bonus	Frigate	Cruiser	Battleship
Angel	Minmatar + Gallente	Projectile	Dramiel	Cynabal	Machariel
Blood Raider	Amarr + Minmatar	Lasers + Nos	Cruor	Ashimmu	Bhaalgorn
Gurista	Caldari + Gallente	Hybrid + Missiles	Worm	Gila	Rattlesnake
Sansha	Amarr + Caldari	Lasers	Succubus	Phantasm	Nightmare
Serpentis	Gallente + Minmatar	Hybrid + MWD	Daredevil	Vigilant	Vindicator

[edit] Rare Ships

Rare ships are nearly-unique hulls usually given out by CCP at tournaments and roleplaying events. The number of them in the game is finite or nearly so, especially as CPP seems to give out less as time goes on.
