So i have a perdiciment, i know very shotly i will be getting into a pvp match where me and mine will be outnumbered. They will be in battleships and maybe 1-2 t3 and thats a big maybe. So my question is, what should we fly to run them off and get a few kills, my thought was just bring 3 rooks/falcons and perma jam em and make em sad enough to warp off. But i want to ask ppl alot smaryer than me.

If they dont have decent tackle why not start cheap?

Its safe to assume your enemy will change their strategy to counter your first setup next time round, which is easy to do 12v3. So start with an effective and disposable setup.

So before you go in with t2 BS why not just try a simple lach + 2 arty nado setup and slowly pick them off till they decide its a good time to leave. Or lach + 2 snipey oracles if they are likely bringing shield BS.

Only thing to consider is mobility of their t3's (and their web range if boosted) and the damage projection of their BS which can vary massively depending on what they bring.

You could always attempt a spider tank setup, However you'd probably have needed to practice quickly switching reps/Energy transfers. However could be a viable choice if you are willing to bring 3x Rattlesnakes

Depends how competent they are that will determine if you can go in close range balls to wall or if you have to tip toe around them.

then going 3 v 12 vs possibly 12 Vindicators will end one way, Death for you 3, even if they only have 10 with 2 T3's you're looking at about 21500 DPS being applied to you, assuming that they're fit for close range DPS. Best is to try to kite them, But even then if they have links and web/Disrupt you its game over

If they seriously send 12 pilots in Vindi's to fight 3 of you....

Blue ball them until they thin out.
For God's sake, don't give them a weeks worth of easy kills.

May I suggest 3x spider-tanking, neuting 'Geddons?

Mix remote rep, remote cap transfer, and heavy neuts in the highs.

Prop mod, tackle, and cap booster in the mids.

Mix of buffer tank, drone damage mods, and signal amps/ECCM in the lows.


You won't be very mobile, but with 6+ 35km heavy neuts, a nice cap-stable spider tank, and a veritable swarm of drones, you will be a pretty potent force to deal with.

Inform local pirates of their locations during the fight. When engaged, watched them die on mass to other people.
