EVE General Discussion

I was just wandering how you guys would arrange your dust Forces where you to be the battle commander? We know that the game will launch supporting at least 64 people per "match" meaning your forces could be as much as 32 people. So how would you arrange them? Though there haven't been very much information released regarding the game but we do know that there will be various classes of suits including Assault, Heavy Assault, Recon, and Logistics.... so knowing what we know about the suits the vehicles and the objectives of the game how would you constitute your forces? Assuming of course that Dust players unlike eve players will bring what you ask them to.


Me personally i'd dvide my forces in 4 groups of 8 each

Group 1: This group would be my air superiority/mech assault force. I would split my force in half with 4 people being my air force and 4 being on the ground. My air force would have 2 gunships in he air at all times fit with the clone reinvigoration bays to allow quick redeployment of my forces where needed. Each gunship would have a second aircraft of some kind as an escort and to offer support to the ground troops. The ground forces would be in the Heavy attack vehicles(tanks) and be Split between groups 3 and 4.

Group 2: This Group would be my special operations group. I would once again split my group in half with a permanent unit of 4 men in recon suits always in the field as a kind of "black ops" squadron and the other 4 people would be assigned in units of 2 to Groups 3 and 4 to act as scouts for them.

Group 3 & 4: These groups would have roughly the same composition and that would be 2 Logistics 3 Heavy Assault and 3 Assault with each unit having access to "hummer like" vehicles to move around in. one group may be changed into a "heavy assault" group with a larger number of the heavy assault suits.

So what do you think? Could you see it working? And how would you arrange your forces?
