o7 all

in a large corp environment, escalating sleeper sites can be exceptionally profitable, from what i hear. in a small corp environment, can upper level sites be run with RR tengus? If i join a c5 or c6 corp, and there isn't a cap pilot on, are we just S.O.L...?

Thanks!

You can run c5 sites with about 6 RR Tengus and C6 with 8ish. I would recommend instead a carrier in Triage and 4-5 buffer ships instead.

You do not need a large fleet to actually do escalations. Full escalations can quite easily be done with the ships below.
2 Dreads
2 Carriers
1 Webber(Rapier/Huginn/Loki

I know some people who quad box this. If on the other hand you are doing guardians + buffer ships then yes it would take a large fleet.

Actually you can run some c5 anoms with 4 ST Tengus without resorting to any tricks but you need to use 5 at others. OFC one extra could be nice if someone DC Twisted

We ran C5 anomalies with 4 RR tengus, using 6 launchers, 4 BCU and a target painter each. I would slap on an LSE for mag/radar sites though.

However, I wouldn't trigger the anomalies in my own WH without using capitals, if the corp/alliance has them available. Running in someone elses works though.

From a smaller corp environment in a C5:

Usually we can run any C5 site with 4 or less battleships with 3-4 Tengus and 3-4 Drakes. Escalations can be done with 6-7 Tengus and 4 or so Drakes.

I have one question guys!

I'm actually living in a C5 (it's kinda new) and my corp is going to escalad them properly soon,

But i 'm curious if any of you C5-C6 pros can tell me :

if i have a BS (abaddon) with 3 ECM(racial) or a Scorpion (with a full rack of ECM) will sleeper aggro him over a Dread in siege mod? or is the dread always primary? and what about triage carrier?

Thank's!

When you initialy land on grid the sleepers will primary the caps, however if your scorp puts a jammer on each sleeper they will soon switch to primary the scorp.

When we run sites our scorp can usualy hold 80%+ aggro from the sleepers.

Doing 3 escalations at a time with 9 people. You warp in a 2nd carrier once you kill the initial few ships since it serves no purpose. You can do a full escalation clear in about 10 minutes.

Triple Escalations
