A standard gank prot with a single 1600mm plate on is ~16.8% more mass than one with the plate offlined - if your trying to move a large fleet through say a 1bn mass WH this could make a difference tho generally I agree its a waste of time. |

You're looking at it as the percentage mass of a small ship, which is why it seems significant.
A 1600RT plate is 0.25% of the mass allowance of the smallest WH type. Or, to put it another way, 20-50 such people doing that is merely the expected natural deviation on the actual mass limit, before you even start counting.
Plates are way way less significant than standard deviation and unless you're willing and able to online and re-cap your ships afterwards it can only be detrimental.
If a handful of bombers do a run whilst you're all sitting there with your plates offlined you're unbelievably boned.
As a generalisation yes - however I've not completely uncommonly been in 40-50 man T3 fleets + guardians, bhaalgorn or 2, etc. through 1bn mass WHs - plates offline v plates online that 760m v 640m which makes quite a difference when your then chucking misc ~150m mass support BS and other support ships through as well on a 1000m mass hole. Even with smaller numbers if your wanting to move in and out depending on tactics it can make a difference to. Granted I'm not a big fan of the situation where your potentially in harms way with plate(s) offline either. |

D364, M267, O128, X702 - M267 being one of the most common in a large PVP fleet context as its a C5->C3 link. Infact aside from the m267 the others are quite rarely used in this context so to some degree it is an edge case but sending largish T3 fleets into capital class wormholes to engage caps via a C3 isn't a totally uncommon scenario.
Sending a similiar fleet through a 3bn mass link would be another story entirely. |
