EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers arrived with the Fractured Skies expansion on 10 November 2026. The four new hulls are the Caldari Naga Navy Issue, Minmatar Tornado Fleet Issue, Amarr Oracle Navy Issue and Gallente Talos Navy Issue. They are not ordinary cosmetic variants: each changes its empire’s attack battlecruiser in a meaningful way.
The EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers are not free launch rewards. CCP has placed their blueprint copies in the corresponding Factional Warfare Loyalty Point stores. That is the price of a blueprint copy, not a ready-to-fly ship. Materials, manufacturing and the fit all add to the cost.
All four EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers compared
| Ship | Empire | What makes it different |
|---|---|---|
| Naga Navy Issue | Caldari | Cruise missiles and torpedoes instead of hybrid turrets; extra mid slot |
| Tornado Fleet Issue | Minmatar | Faster projectile fire and an extra mid slot; smaller microwarpdrive signature penalty |
| Oracle Navy Issue | Amarr | Energy turret range, extra low slot and utility high slot |
| Talos Navy Issue | Gallente | Improved hybrid falloff, better mobility with armor plates and extra low slot |
Of the new EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers, the Naga Navy Issue is the biggest departure from its standard hull. A standard Tech I Naga is associated with large hybrid turrets, whereas the Navy Issue has a missile-focused role with cruise and torpedo launchers. You cannot carry an old railgun fit across and assume it will work. The other three keep their core weapon families while gaining bonuses and fitting flexibility.
Where to buy EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers blueprints
Blueprint copies for EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers are sold through the relevant Factional Warfare LP store. CCP lists a price of 52,000 LP plus 13,000,000 ISK for each of the new navy attack battlecruiser blueprint copies. These are blueprint purchases, not finished hulls.
| Blueprint copy | Factional Warfare LP store |
|---|---|
| Oracle Navy Issue | 24th Imperial Crusade |
| Naga Navy Issue | State Protectorate |
| Talos Navy Issue | Federal Defense Union |
| Tornado Fleet Issue | Tribal Liberation Force |
Check the LP store listing before committing your points. You’ll need the correct faction’s currency and the required ISK, and you must still manufacture the hull from the copy or arrange to buy a finished ship from another player. Normal market prices for built ships can change rapidly with the cost of materials and new expansion demand.
Which EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers should you choose?
If you’re after a Caldari missile platform that uses battleship-sized launchers, look at the Naga Navy Issue first. Its bonuses are built around cruise missiles and torpedoes, making it a poor choice if your character has spent all its time training hybrid gunnery. Check missile skills, fitting resources and range before switching.
The Tornado Fleet Issue keeps the Minmatar projectile approach, improves its rate of fire and helps limit the signature penalty of using a microwarpdrive. That can make it attractive for a fast-moving fleet role, though the ship is still an attack battlecruiser and should not be confused with a heavily tanked command ship.
The Oracle Navy Issue plays to Amarr energy turrets and optimal range. Its extra low slot allows different fitting choices, and the utility high slot gives you room for equipment beyond the main turret rack. The Talos Navy Issue leans into blaster and hybrid use, with falloff and armor-plate mobility bonuses that open options for close-range fighting.
How do you earn the LP needed?
Blueprints for EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers are tied to Factional Warfare LP stores, not the separate Military Campaign item trader rewards. Earning and spending LP through the appropriate militia activities is one route to the blueprints. If you are not enlisted, you can still buy a manufactured hull from another pilot if one is available on the player market, but that is different from having direct access to every faction’s store.
The new Military Campaigns are open to everyone, even without enlistment, and offer their own LP and trader rewards. Do not assume those rewards automatically replace every Factional Warfare requirement. Check the particular LP currency and store entry before planning a grind.
Are EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers better than standard hulls?
The EVE Navy Attack Battlecruisers offer different and more specialised bonuses, but an old fit will not automatically perform better on a navy hull. Weapon family, range, powergrid, CPU, ammo, application and price all matter. Start with the bonus you intend to exploit, then fit around it. A cheap standard battlecruiser may still be the better everyday choice if you are learning the hull or risking several ships in a fleet.
The new hulls also arrive alongside Synchronizer rigs that reward using modules from the same faction. Those can open further fitting possibilities, but their costs and CPU penalties need to be included in your plan rather than treated as free damage.
