So I noticed that a lot of people still have probes on their overview by default...
So, I was maybe thinking using brawler Moa's that have probe launchers, and once we take gate drop probes so it will take longer for enemy fleet to target their primary, and hopefully mitigate some DPS so we can take down theirs.
Also when overheating the probe launcher takes the brunt of the heat.
(In theory, it might not work.)
What are your takes on this? |

Just try it. Didn't see somebody doing it before. Actually I have probes on my main tab.
But, it takes only a click to get them removed ... I'm my own NPC alt. |

OP's meta is years ahead of its time. Leaked Jovian tactics perhaps. |

Don't gimp your fit. If you want to try something like this then get everyone in your fleet to drop a can. Most people will have cans on overview too.
I would expect some moaning to CCP if you employ such a tactic and it works. Another option is to come to the fight with a fleet that can win outright. You can fight outnumbered as well but it requires more manoeuvring to draw their fleet into chasing you so you can swing back and pick off stragglers as you go. I've seen it done successfully if you have a few bombers in your fleet to hang back and tackle targets that are late coming through gates.

Just make sure you are not doing it in great numbers and generate 'lag' or you might get a visit from a GM :P |

May have been just hearsay but I was told that was against the rules. People have done it in the past to declock people. Do not quote me thought because I do not know. |

Dropping cans isn't effective, a lot of pvp'ers have cans off their overview. |
