I am going to be hunting other battleships with a group of friends. I will have support ships. I am planning on being the damage. I have never set up a ship for this. what should I equip. Mainly ambush oriented fight FYI. Any suggestions welcome.

My suggestion.
Fly a T1 Megathron until you lose about 10 of them.
Insure the ship at the top level.

Make sure that almost all relevant skills are at V, Specialization skills at IV.
When it's time to fly a Vindi. you won't need to ask anybody how to fit it.
You'll just know.

Raven's advice is sound.

Qft.

A mega gets really crazy damage(not quite as high as a vindi), I would suggest trying a stasis grappler(it will still give you 90%just up close). A mega is a fraction of the cost and is still a scary sight, not to mention it will be a cheaper option to find out if you like that play style.

All this considering, no matter which one you choose, you will be primary the second you land on grid.

I have tried using smaller ships and so on but I got the vindi and had a great time. I am trying something that I haven't done before in PvP and would like some help

Blasters, faction webs, mwd (seriously consider pimping), hull tank if no logi, probably armor if you do have logi (shield has its benefits, but in this scenario I'd imagine armor would work better). A couple of damage mods and as much tank as you can fit on it.

One thing about the vindi, not that many different ways to fit it

Armour or shield? (yes you can shield tank a vindi, and yes it feels like you sat on your credentials awkwardly)...
Are you plannung on going on a roam or is this for ganking 2 jumps from your home?
Will you have logi?

It's not a solo fit and requires a competant logi pilot
The rest of the gang can be:

ceptors (dual boxed is ok)
