Eft Suggests that you will need 21 Battleships, and in my personal experience-25 is what you should take. Of 25 people-4 will be idiots/trolls/afk/refuse to shoot etc. Make sure you use drones too-they still throw concord off just a little bit. If you need bodies, tips, haulers or scanners-let me know, I have people.

Also if you are all pro, or shooting an afk freighter- Have 75% of the people shoot just before it jumps through and have the rest shoot it on other side of the gate. This will make it so that only the people on the side of the gate where it dies take the security hit.

For more check my interview in Eve Tribune. Also not that the advice I gave doesnt protect haulersPiratehttp://www.eve-tribune.com/index.php?no=6_34&page=3

OH OH OH I almost forgot: If you are all pro *OR shooting an AFK freighter-Have 75 percent of people shoot it just before it jumps through your gate and have the rest shoot on other side. This will make it so that only 5-7 people get security status penalties.

I'll admit that they do look a bit more modern, I like the look.

From the 2nd Darius post, to the post before this one, I can't read them.

Instead of a post it says:

It's not you, it's the forum.

You can quote someone to see what they posted.

25 is overkill. t1 ships with t1 fits and plates/dmg mods/drones. helps if your pilots know what theyre doing tho, co-ordination is the key.
