Main Factions
Each of the main factions has a main cruiser hull type. These main hull types of each faction offer three different configurations of the same base hull. The differing configurations consist of a trainer hull, a standard hull, and a military issue variant. In addition to the mainstay hull configurations, each faction also has a secondary hull type that offers a trainer version. Beyond the main hull types of each faction, all three factions also offer two other more specialized hull types to fit various battle tactics.
In addition to the normal cruiser offerings of the main factions, each of them also offers seven highly specialized cruisers each designed for very specific roles in combat, recon, interdiction, and covert operations.

Force Recon Cruisers
Force Recon Cruisers are designed to use covert ops cloaking devices. These cruisers are typically found in small to medium PVP gangs taking the role of scout. Force recon cruisers are not often found in solo PVP situations unless they were unwise enough to uncloak in a dangerous situation. The damage potential of Force Recon Cruisers is mediocre and therefore they most often operate as part of a larger fleet.

Combat Recon Cruisers
Combat Recon Cruisers can often be the gem of a small fleet using their electronic warfare abilities to slow, tackle, and energy neutralize enemies and allow fleet members to simply pick off the helpless victim. Although this class of ship is a great addition to fleet operations, these vessels also have decent damage output and can usually face smaller targets solo with little difficulty. These ships are quite popular due to their versatility.

Heavy Assault Cruisers
Heavy Assault Cruisers are the big guns of cruiser warfare. These cruisers are very well defended as well as very well-armed. HACs also have the unique ability to fit special fleet defense modules that can easily turn the tide in any skirmish. The bonuses HACs receive to damage output, as well as bonuses to defensive capabilities, make these cruisers a force to be reckoned with no matter if one on one or in fleet engagements.

Interdictor Cruisers
Interdictor Cruisers sport enhancements to stasis web fibers modules as well as improved damage output and defensive capabilities. These cruisers are often used in one on one cruiser engagements or as DPS and E-War support for fleets.

Heavy Interdictor Cruisers
Heavy Interdictor Cruisers have the unique ability to fire warp disruption bombs from a distance. This ability combined with boosts in range to stasis webifier modules and typical warp disruptors allows these cruisers to lock down a target from a distance. These powerful vessels also have significant bonuses to damage output giving them the ability to tackle a target and destroy it usually without allowing the target to get within an effective combat range.
