There is a quick and easy test most EVE players use to decide if a fleet is a blob.

Were you able to beat them?
If yes, there were no blobs involved in the fight.
If no, the enemy totally blobbed you... lame.

Can someone from -A- or NC.bros come in here and clarify what a blob is? Since they are the ones who complain about it all the time.

As far as -A- goes, a fleet that brings anything other than Rifters.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

This is how I see sizes of fleets, having been both a highsec PvPer and a nullsec PvPer:

Solo: 1 pilot (duh)
Duo: 2 pilots (duh)
Small gang: 3 - 20 pilots.
Large gang: 20 - 50 pilots.
XL gang: 50 - 150 pilots.
Blob: 150+ pilots.


Thanks for all the input. Good idea with the Duo category - I've added that as well as the large gang one. So now I have:
Solo: 1
Duo: 2
Small Gang: 3 - 9
Large Gang: 10 - 49
Blob: 50+

I'll rename Blob to XL Gang tonight when I get home and have some time to work on the code. Last night, I added drill down functionality to the Systems Security pie chart - so you can click on the wedges to drill down into them. Tonight I'll get drill down working for the Fleet Types chart so you'll be able to see the breakdown by gang size within each category. Ranges for the large gangs like 10 - 19, 20 - 29 etc.
