Warfare & Tactics

Ahoy hoy Bittervets, Newbros, EFTWarriors, Theorycrafters, Scrublets, and gentlemen,

I'm a big, soft, smooshy hi-sec carebear that's also spent a lot of time in wormholes, usually multi-boxing C4 sites, with the occasional bits of tigerears.org-inspired (love Penny), unsuccessful PvP hunting.

My 4 accounts (two originally bought for mates who have since left the game) have been largely inactive for a long time, but have been training away steadily.

I loved the wormholes, but don't have the kind of time necessary to dedicate to that lifestyle anymore.

So, I'm thinking about how I can make the game jump-in-and-have-a-casual-blast friendly, besides Incursions which I still enjoy.

So I'm looking to build a 4-man gang that I could possibly run by myself, or maybe lure a mate or two back into the fold with, to go shoot some of you nasty low-sec/null people with, and finally start making a contribution (one way or another) to some killboards.

Characters are as follows:
Char 1
-90m sp
-Amarr focused.
-Perfect tanking, (large laser) gunnery, and support skills. Dabbling into shields and missiles.
-All BC/Des 5.
-Amarr BS/Carrier/Cruiser//Frigate/Strat Cruiser 5.
-Caldari Cruiser 5
-Minnie BS 5 (Bhaalgooorn!). Cruiser 4.
-HAC 4, HIC 4, Marauders 4, Logi 5, Recon 5.

Char 2
-75m SP
-Amarr/Minmatar focussed
-Perfect leadership
-Nigh perfect armour skills
-Great gunnery skills to medium (laser focussed)
-Nigh perfect support skills.
-All BC, Des 5
-Amarr BS, Cruiser 5. Caldari Cruiser5. Command Ships 5. Cov Ops 5. Gallente Cruiser 4. Min Battleship, Cruiser 5.

Char 3
-62m SP
-Amarr focused.
-Perfect gunnery to Med Lasers. Perfect cap/laser/armour support skills.
-All BC/Des 5
-Amarr BS/Cruiser/Frig/Strat Cr 5.
-Gallente Cruiser, Frigate 5
-Covops 5, Logistics 5, Recon 5

Char 4
-62m SP
-Pretty much as above.

So, everyone can fly a Legion very capably, most perfectly. Everyone can fly a SB, and Char1 can fly a BlackOps (albeit at level 1 so far, but with good JD skills).

So I'm thinking some of the following, but am very open to suggestions:
Eos/Astarte (short 16d train for Char2 for GalCr5) + Onei + Legion + Legion
Eos/Astarte + Onei + Nomen + Nomen (cheaper)
Blackops + SB + SB + SB
Blackops + some combo of Recons and SB's
Nomen x 4

Very open to suggestions. Main focus initially is to make it:
-Semi-manageable for quad-boxing (no ISBoxer at this stage), or possibly to bring a mate to two back into the game with.
-Successful

Thanks all, appreciate any and all feedback, even in flame form

Ugh. IRL people. I was hoping to avoid that in my fleet comp, but I'll take it on board nonetheless, thanks :)

Assuming I had one or two other IRL peeps, what about fleet comp?

BOps + recons/sb would be nice as I could scout with one and then covert cyno in? Might otherwise be limited to bubblecamping something, in which case I might be best to avoid the super shineys for fear of bringing unwanted attention?

Excellent point, and one I hadn't considered due to my very limited PvP experience.

Broad engagement profile is probably my #1 priority now, followed by success, then manageability.

Waiting four hours for a fight I can engage in with any hope of success (passing up fights in the meantime) is no fun.
