In a fleet environment will it be eaten by the sleepers? What about a logistics cruiser? Is it possible to protect it from the sleepers or its too slow?

Depends on the class of wormhole and site and the number of them.

I'd imagine logi frigs are for the most part limited to C1 and maybe C2 wormholes and would struggle above that, definitely be alpha'd through in C4s and higher on the harder sites.

Logi cruisers properly fit can be used at all levels tho would need better fits and a higher number of them for C5/6. A pair of logi cruisers could quite comfortably handle C3 sites (tank wise).

What wormhole class are you planning to do this in?

Basilisks can tame c5s and below(i've done it).

I've also used 2 ospreys in c3s before. My Osprey fit gives out near enough 1000HP every cycle, as long as its fed cap by its sister Osprey.

The frigates, i havent checked yet. If you've got a fast moving fleet, then half the tank will be speed-based. I might have to give it a go actually at some point. I wouldn't of thought anything more than a c2 though...

Hope that helps!

C3, anyway thanks for the answers.

It won't work in a C3. To much neuting, and webbing. Also running a remote rep seems to put you pretty high on the hit list.

scythe plus assigned fighters can solo c2s.

Not really solo then is it?

Cruisers easily.

I think the frigates will have trouble because of EHP and low tank capability, but I've never tested it to be honest. They MAY be viable in C1/C2 Wolf-Rayets in conjunction with some Assault Frigates, but I'm really not sure it wouldn't be more cost-efficient to just run the cruiser versions.

Logi frigs are likely a no-go due to lack of buffer (except for maybe in C1 space).

T1 logi cruisers (from what's posted here at least) seem to work fine in C3 space; I'd strongly suggest sticking to the T2 versions in C4 and higher space though.

It is by lowsec standards where you are only in a gang when you have more than 2 boosters and 2 Falcon alts.

T1 logi cruisers work in C4s as well. We have used a pair of Augorors to keep some Abaddons up. You'll want to keep your velocity up (AB fit) and keep an orbit on your logi anchor. They speed tank pretty well and are easier to keep up than the battleships.
