My corporation and I hope to attempt level five missions for a second time. Our first try we were flying a carrier, 3 battleships, and other smaller ships when a capital fleet decided to greet us.
Point being, I'm hoping for input on a new fleet composition. 
So far we are planning on either two sharing aggro tengus, or one tengu and a logi, then two stealth bombers, plus a couple cruisers. While it sounds very weak i so far believe it could. Stealth bombers scout route, tengus warp in and grab aggo, stealth bombers bomb initial wave before they spread out then primary battlecruisers and battleships, cruisers work on the cruisers and frigs. Do you think we would be doing enough dps? Could we evade if hostile players decided to crash the party?

Thank you for your time and expertise.

First learn about level 5 . . . why the frack would you bring a carrier into your first ever mission?


Try this . . .

Warp in an assault frigate with a passive armor tank and gather all the aggro - cost 40 Mil
Then warp in an Exequror start repping the assault frig - cost 6 Mil
Then warp in 1 or 2 talos - Kill the missions objective - cost 100-200 Million

Finish the mission in 3 minutes - then head to the next one . . .


1) No one will bother scanning down a fleet of such cheap ships
2) Very few scanners can scan you down in under 3 minutes
3) Even if they do manage to catch you the most you will lose is the AF and Exequror (46 million lost)
