EVE Ships
Main article: Spaceships of Eve Online
Ships in the Eve universe are organized into classes, varying from frigates to titans thousands of times larger. Each of these ship classes has its own advantages and disadvantages. One should not assume that the bigger a ship is the better it is. For instance a frigate is small compared to a battleship, but players may outfit smaller ships with equipment that impairs the abilities of the battleship. This leaves the battleship vulnerable to attack from other ships. However, some of the weapons available to the battleship can potentially destroy the frigate with a few shots. Ships are also balanced with the so-called signature radius. The smaller an object is the harder it is to target or damage, especially with the larger cruiser and battleship-sized weaponry.
