I know cost is a factor here, but read into nightmares when you can afford them. We used to RR shield with a cap chain it it worked like cake. With the added dps of the magnetar, You should run them pretty fast. IDK how advanced your logi pilots are. But if you can get 4 of those in a site....there will be no better way to to run them. The frigates spawn so far out..when they are haulin' ass toward you there transversal will be near zero...we would one hit them. Everything else just melted...we used T2 Pulse lasers and loaded scorch. I know you said money was tight and pilots sp were limited...but when you can...in my opinion..this is the way to run a c4...expensive yes...but **** gets did :P also never tried it...but i heard machs do well also..

I would recommend navy apoc with t2 pulse or NM with t2 tachs because of the range C4 pull on you :)

Soooo this is my sig....

We did Frontier Barracks several times last night with Abaddon x2 and Guardian x2. Thanks to everyone for their input, we were prepared and had sufficient tank and dps. One thing we did was run 3+3 setup with the Guardians to provide 2 constant transfers for the Guardians and 1 full time for each Abaddon (they are cap hungry). We'll swap to 4+2 in a few weeks when our Logi pilots get Logi V.

We were clearing the Frontier Barracks with little danger in around 15 minutes. Later we added a Domi and got it down to about 10 minutes per site. Much thanks to everyone.

Cool. Seems kinda slow though.

You can do it with 3 pulse RR legions. set them up correctly and cap is not an issue even in C5s. Have to be on your toes though sense if you fit them optimally they won't have excess buffer for RR mistakes. (for C5s you'll need 4 for more rep). You can do it for under a bill per legion and put out similar dps as a tengu (with scorch) and have an afterburner to get into your 60km range. I won't give you a fit but if you know T3s it shouldn't be hard to put together

Sigh.. People making up problems that are not there and suggesting solutions to them... Just how many times you think they are going to jump the three (3!) battleships back and forth?


Tbh the reason I answered that is that he stated "We have access to c4 sites". Which is rather funny wording instead of "we live in a c4" and hence I assumed they were travelling there through a static.

Regarding mass of c4's I have no clue what so ever. Only ever cycled c5's and c6's. - and I never fly battleships.


Which was obvious from your post. A static C4 is 2B, that's 20 battleships. As someone living with a 2B static I can tell you 95% of them die from either old age or us rolling them unreduced, that is before they even reach half mass naturally.

As someone who's flown in C4-static plex fleets, it takes 5-6 BS to produce any sort of mass concern on a 2Bil static.

(Although later posts do clarify that the OP is in a C4 homesystem.)
