A dozen bombers and a bubble. If in low sec, be somewhere else because that node will crash long before they get 1000 guys in system. If by some chance it doesn't, 50 smartbombing armageddons and a prober. Old school low sec doomsday ftw. All of these solutions are assuming a sliver of competence on your part.

Not be bad?

Also we never have 1000 man Maelstrom fleet anymore you ******* ******** pubbie. Once you get past the 250 (incl Support which is 6 Comand Ships + Anti Support + Dictors) You don't get much benefit out of more Alpha.

It would also help if your FC's weren't ******** and you posted with your main. But no. NPC Alt Away and complain about the much needed titan nerf.


TL;DR: Every post is about me.

if people say 1000 maelstroms, they actually mean 350 maelstroms + 250 hurricanes + 200 drakes + other random **** going together with the fleet, so whatever you pick against such kind of mixed fleet, you will have hard times fighting that blob heavily outnumbered.

1000 maelstroms organised in groups of 20-ish with their own target callers will pretty much wipe the floor with them :P

Combat Scanner Probes and warp to 0 will help here...

Bombers come to mind. Probes + Warp In + Bubble + tier 2 BC could work as well. Naga's might work. They can do what, 500-600 dps up to 250km, seeing as they move faster and align faster than maels, they should be able to warp around well outside of mael optimal. There's probably quite a few others.

No one likes titan blobs.
