Hey!

I'm looking for tips in how a C6 static could be used for small group play. Those that I've thought of:

  • PvP - Somewhat risky, but a few stealth bombers could probably get something done in there. Dedicating a fleet would make it ripe for an ambush on the way home.
  • Logistics - With some luck, I would guess that k-space can connect to these directly. It's best if the lucky static isn't full of hungry and bored bob-believers aswell. How crowded are C6s?
  • Ninja-huffing - Might be worth it, but I guess that C6s are pretty dry on easy isk.

Have I missed something?

I'm confused, c6 static is only good if you want to connect to farmers.

I'm pretty sure that they're quite useless for general use, but I want to find out if there could be some fun use of them without massing a 30 man fleet.

C6 statics should be the best for pvp, and used to be. Theyre not anymore though. for reasons...

Despite what many clueless people might say, c6 static is pretty good.
You have the imediate c6 space farmers to roll into if you are interested in ganking, random systems sieged by duralexx, and nothing beats scanning the chain for some 'real pvp', so its an all-in-one-package deal.

Hold on. Where did I say that the C6 is the only interest? But no matter the length of the chain, the first hole is always a critical chokepoint.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ganking a c6 pve-fleet would need some manpower.

Lets me rephrase the question. If you had to choose between a c5 and a c6 static and need to exclude larger fleets, would a c6 static hold any merit? Or is it just a slam dunk win for the c5?

Those were indeed some good times Cry

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

If you want small scale fights, you want a C4 or C2 static.
No reason whatsoever in having a high end static if you don't specifically want to go after caps in sites.

So, you're talking about living in a C2 with E545 and R474, right?

Most c6 have a c5 static so depending on what you want to do a c6 static has its uses

PVP - there's not going to be anything to bomb TBH. You can try bombing T3C's, but they'll just laugh at you. Nobody really uses fleets that are vulnerable to just a few bombers, and if you have more dudes, you might as well use a more traditional PVP fleet. The only exception with C6 static is if you're thinking about killing capitals with waves of focused void bombs. I don't personally recommend that tactic, but you might look into it as it the only doctrine that I see fitting your specs.

Logistics - C6 is second-worst static for getting to k-space after the C4. It's not impossible, you can get to k-space from anywhere, but it's not a REASON to pick C6. I mean, it's quiet, but that's about all it has going for it.

Ninja-huffing - the only valid reason on the list. You'd be just as well off with a C5 though.

Good luck.

Yeah, well, it's just like my opinion, man.

A c6 static is perfect if you want to rage roll and kill caps that are running escalations. However that is not a task that you can do with just a couple of bombers or a smaller fleet size so you're better off looking for a hole with a c5 static because that will give you access to the superhighway and pvp opportunities and also lots of gas sites for huffing.

Actually no, I'm talking about a C4 with X877 and H900 or U574-connections. Found a near-perfect system but with that particular detail, it got a U574-connection. Instead of just ignoring it, I'm trying to find a use for it. Could've gotten a similar system with a H900-connection before, but that chance is gone now.

Void bombs eh? Didn't think of that, but it only nuets around 1800GJ. Probably wouldn't do to much harm to a capital, sounds more like a tactic for neuting out several sub-capital logistics at once.

Oh!
Yeah, a couple of those would do some serious damage...even though I doubt that anything but a lonely and half-stranded dreadnought would fall to them.

People are much more kind in C6 space.

Also if you want to learn about bombing capitals or just things in general, talk to Dropbears or INSRT. They seeded me with bombers and just SD'd because they realized it wouldn't work. Now they are losing bombers everyday to Guardians. Very good group.
