Hey.

We're building a small defense fleet of battlecruisers and some support ships.

Most of the pilots are able to fly either Hurricanes or Drakes (And some Jammer/repair ships).

How would you fit the Drake and the Hurricane in order for those two ships to work best together.
Take into account that they might not be the optimal ships working together, however, sometimes you have to work with what you got.

I'm assuming the Nanodrake with hml makes less sense as kiting is not an option working with the Hurricanes.
So standard HAM drake?

So tl;dr. Best fit for a small fleet (5-10 persons) of Drakes and Hurricanes with the "best bang for buck" items (meta 1-4 +t2).

Wormholes have the best accoustics. It's known. - Sing it for me -

kiting is a fine option for cane...try the arty fit if youve got a decent gang

i would take the podla drakes and arty canes if youve got a fair sized group

for smaller engagement ac cane is probably more versatile

AC, neut, shield buffer canes.

Ham drakes (less tank, but people will most likely focus the canes first anyway)

and have fun :)

Nanocanes and nanodrakes work great together. Why is kiting not an option working with hurricanes??? t2 425's with barrage works fine. The drakes have much greater range true but off the top of my head I think the canes should be hitting out to about 30 km's.

What is this defence fleet for?? High sec, low sec, null sec???

If in high sec the higher damage more buffer fits for either bc would probably be more practical due to station games. If you're out in space however, I would definitely go with the nanodrakes and canes, especially if you are outnumbered.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

Thanks for the replies.

Any specific builds you can point to for both the Kiting version and the brawl version?

That's off the top of my head sorry if I missed anything. I usually load the cane with barrage emp and fusion, phased plasma is better for amarr armor tankers in general but I don't bother with it.
