cruiser (eve online)

A type of spaceships from the EVE Online.
Craft with balanced offensive, defensive and mobility capabilities making them quite versatile.

Cruisers are EVE's medium-sized ships, larger than frigates and destroyers but still much smaller, faster, and nimbler than battlecruisers and battleships. Cruisers mount medium-sized weapons and modules. Tech 1 cruiser hulls cost around 10 million ISK and tend to be the first major financial step up from frigates for new pilots.
There are four classes of Tech 2 cruisers, which are more powerful, more focused on a particular role, and much more expensive than their Tech 1 equivalents:

Cruisers and destroyers are the only ship classes that currently have a Tech 3 version, the Strategic Cruisers and Tactical Destroyers.
