My alliance does a lot of fleets involving frigates and cruisers, occasionally BCs, but we have no fleet doctrines for battleship fleets. I'd like to think that battleship PVP is still viable in nullsec, learn the tactics, and bring back the Promethean fire of Battleship PVP knowledge to my alliance. Therefore, the point of this post: are there any groups out there that do battleship fleets (not just cruiser fleets that have one or two BSs) and would let me tag along in an NPSI mode to see and learn the tactics?

If there are regular NPSI groups like Spectre, RvB, etc, who do this, please point me in that direction.
Otherwise, any corp willing to invite me along, please send me an evemail.

Please, no need to trash talk battleships in this thread. There's already another active thread just for that.

Battleships are slow, strategic objective oriented, ships. NPSI groups by definition generally don't have any particular strategic objective. It's unlikely that any group would do this regularly but I do believe it's happened in the past.

Battleship roams won't happen in nullsec because of bombers.

It is plausible in lowsec, though you will get dropped by a T3 fleet with capital backup.

Have a look at spectre fleet when they do the RvB Ganked (large specte/Rvb fleets_).... each week the fleet varies but i have been out on an abandon fleet with them a few weeks back, they also ran an armageddon fleet but each week the doctrine changes i think it is cruisers this week...

either way have a look at their channel...Might be what your looking for...
