There's a reason they're called Flying Coffins.

I'm not well versed in SOV politics and such, but I believe that Northern Coalition. has been around for quite some time; and as such, has come up with some standard fleet /gang compositions/doctrines. That should be the first place to check Big smile

Remember that when flying with logi support, you cannot receive remote reps while your bubble is up.

Always carry a Focused Warp Disruption script for each mod you have fitted. If you have 2 fitted, always have one script preloaded.

Edit: Most importantly-- until you have flown with your FC many times and have learned to read his mind perfectly.......NEVER go bubble up unless the FC says to do so....... Friendly bubble deaths are so..... OopsShockedBig smileTwisted

Maybe clarify whether you mean "(small) gang warfare" (low-sec camps etc) or "fleet warfare" (tackling supers).

It sounds as if you are more interested in the former (otherwise why choose a Phobos) but some clarification would help.

A HIC in low sec is actually pretty nice expecially when gate camping, can point anything and hold it with easy. Basically just a nice heavy tackle ship with average speed with a mwd fit, and can tank like a boss.

So are Logis, Recons, Falcons and Command ships, get your head out of your warp gate.

Train Martyrdom Lvl 5, seriously a HIC in a 20 man gang? Bring a plain dictor instead. If tackling Caps, its a good idea to fit a cyno on a HIC and keep fuel in the cargo plus fly with an empty clone.

Basically stay outside of heavy neut range with your focused point and keep decent spacing from the other 2-3 HICs in your fleet to avoid being ECM bursted by the super you are tackling. Then be prepared to be sad when what actually happens is the super warps off or cynos out before any of the HICs can grab tackle because :supersinlowsec:.
