Warfare & Tactics

small gang fleets require every pilot to know what they are doing. Just one of you could get the entire fleet killed. Hence giving very bad intel that there is a bubble on the gate. everyone warps then the enemy fleet wrecks you.

This sounds like Agony Empire classes, or Center for Advanced Studies public fleets. You might want to contact them.

Massive fleets are impressive by the amounts of people on grid (it may get low FPS, be prepared).
If you do a mistake you properly don't kill the entire Fleet. Also it doesnt require any high skills of piloting as the FC is giving you very clear instructions. In case you are a Interceptor or Interdicotor Pilot you should know the DOs and DONTs :)

10T1 Caracals are fun or go for sniping destroyers also funny, unfortunately i can´t provide any contact which you could easily join a NPSI Fleet. But i know they are out there :P

Yeah I was in that channel a month or so ago, I may well look it up again. seemed to be a lot of chat about not much inparticular when I was there last.

Thanks for the post. I'll look that up, I would say that I am a noob when it comes to the mechanics at the moment. So I guess there is a lot to learn.

I would be interested to see your burst build.

I'm always open to discussing maneuver and build... I love rockets but there is a lot to discuss about them that is not in my tutorial.

Catch me in game or send an email.

Keep in my mind that designing your target is the other half of your build. If you don't figure out what a good target would be for your build, there is a good chance you are fighting someone who thinks you are a good target for his build. Victory loves preparation...

If you go the low sec route, keep in mind that the locals have all their ships there. Having 10 ships in system is a huge and largely invisible advantage. They will be undocking scissors as soon as someone sees you brought paper.

Rocket ships have a lot of vulnerabilities that coincide with the most common builds in low sec. If you are taking a rocket ship to low sec, try to think of something it can beat that you are reasonably likely to see. The build can work, but think it through first.

I think 10 is the upper end of "small gang." I didn't have much of a small gang experience in FW.

Above about half a dozen people, individual maneuver skills start to become less significant and FC skill starts to become critical.

I prefer those small fleet interactions because every player gets to learn, make decisions, and do original things. Hitting primary and jumping when told just aren't the pvp experience I'm into.

That is a really difficult question to answer. Because their are many corps that primarily do small gang stuff and they advertise very little because that would make them too big. It also depends on what space you want to do it in.

I would check this forum https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=265 research some corps, then talk to them directly tell them what you are into and see if they have a place for you.

I will warn you, as others have mentioned, small gangs rely heavily on individual pilot skill so the elite ones will only be open to people with lots of experience and sp. But lots will welcome you with 10m sp in combat skills and a desire to learn and be active.

Finding a good eve corp is alot like finding a good job. You have to do the footwork, and there are many reasons why you might decide to not stay with the first few you join. No recruiter is going to contact you just because you made this post. It is not like you have to or even should move all your assets until you decide to stay. Your most important questions should be timezone and what they do on a daily/weekly basis and do these things line up with want you want. After you join, is only when you find if it was a good fit for you or not.

the RvB Ganked roam is usually a rather large affair, but your general RvB shenanigans are usually ~10-20'ish people a side. There are also regular'ish lowsec and 0.0 NPSI roams run by individual RvB members that vary in size, but over ~20 people is rare.
