The galaxy can be a dangerous place. Many captains wish to travel in a well-armed vehicle, and for them Tartakov Industries has perfected the Battleship. It's got a healthy shielding capacity, superb energy generation rate, and the deadly carbonite pulse rifle range weapon.
Other than the ISC the battleship is the only ship with a long range offensive secondary weapon(dealing 125 damage per hit). This allows the player to select a strong short or mid-range primary weapon such as the grav beam and maintain the long range tactical advantage.
Although very powerful, the battleship has limited uses. With 12000 shields the ship isn't able to stand up to a barrage of nukes from an ISC or Sethdar. Therefore it is seldom used on long bangs and permas once the galaxies are well established. With such poor fuel consumption is isn't a great starter ship. It is most commonly used at the beginning of galaxies with many NPC's, parked vets in rebangs who are starting in the final days with lots of fuel, and by beginner players.
