Time for a new kind of ship.

Ok i admit the ship is too uber to exist. But in your opinion, the community's opinion what would be a great anti blob ship. When i say anti blob, i don't mean kill all blobbers.

It would go something like this:

Anti blob ship jumps gate. Anti blob ship counts 50 people fleet. Anti blob ship sees an opening, sees an opportunity and takes it. Anti blob ship takes distance. 2 intis chase, anti blob ship kills intis, 2 t1 cruisers geat near anti blob ship, anti blob ship kills them. Another t2 ship comes close, anti blob ship kills it and warps of, doesen't sit on grid with at least 10k close combat dps.

Sometimes i managed to do this sort of thing with a deimos or with my legion and then run away.
Sometimes i didn't see a neut armageddon on grid because the blob was massive and my overview couldn't handle all of them.
Sometimes EVE MAPS lies to me or it doesen't. [5 people in space in the last 24 hours ... jump gate, nope 50 people at the gate].
Sometimes i feel like i'm Garmon and i can engage this i can engage this, they have 2 titans and 40 carriers and 20 dreadnoughts, nope i can engage this! [joke]

I'm asking for a ship that has a bigger chance of survival vs 50-60 people gangs.

Out of the existing ships. I feel like the Moa and the Thorax are awesome. Then comes the Deimos and then the legion. I love the new orthrus and i consider it a really dangerous ship.

Stealth Bombers. Bombing runs are pretty effective against blobs, but pretty pointless against solo targets.

Honestly though, I think you're looking for a ship to solve a non-ship problem. Add incentives for people to split up a fleet to take separate objectives simultaneously. That will end blobs, without hilarious T4 Cruisers.
