what would happen to this capital fleet when they arrived in VFK?

lol

This is like the Eve version of The Bay of Pigs invasion.

How'd that one turn out?

I hear the last battleship fleet to try this got eaten by an NC frigate gang

That was covered in the plan. They're going to shoot the jammers wtih Stealth bombers. They most definitely aren't going to die to the POS guns next to that jammer though!

Isn't the point of a plan of attack to keep the plan of attack secret, to avoid the enemy from countering the attack?

On a less-trollish note, I'd totally join you in this, just for ***** and giggles. Send me a mail.

Well. I didn't think anyone could possibly have a dumber idea than PL, NCdot, Evoke and Raiden did when they invaded VFK last year.

Good job OP. You have one upped Billy Merc when it comes to mindless stupidity.

Now to tell you where the plan falls down:

Cyno jammers.

Making you plan public has worked in several instances.

The Ice Interdictions
Burn Jita
HAG

All come to mind.

Were those organized by highsec dwellers?

Goonswarm Federation has grown rich. Powerful. Arrogant. Complacent

A ragtag fleet of capsuleer ships, equipped with cloaking devices, jammers, and cynosural field generators, will infiltrate to the heart of GSF space: VFK-IV, in Deklein.

On the way, cyno frigates trailing the advance guard will deploy at regular intervals, allowing a capital or supercapital fleet owned by a competing alliance to keep pace with the fleet.

Having arrived in VFK-IV, the advance guard will form a jammer-wall to defend the main cyno ships, likely cruisers or battlecruisers for tanking ability. These will allow the capital fleet's vanguard and additional cyno ships to jump in.

First, however, a takedown of any cynosural jamming fields present must be effected. This must be carried out by ships infiltrated individually: a simple brute-force attack would likely be unsuccessful- and would also defeat the purpose of the objective. Stealth bombers or heavy gunships may need to be deployed for this stage. Again, a jammer-wall will also probably be needed, to lessen the effect of any defensive actions.

Once the capital fleet is in VFK-IV, the fleet may either assist the capital fleet, or run for home, depending on individual preference.

Cheap, but effective, fittings are encouraged. Many ships will probably be lost: numbers and replacement ability are vital.

While nullsec pilots are welcome, and perhaps needed for some roles such as, you know, understanding sovereignty and cyno warfare, the advance guard is intended to be composed mainly of highsec pilots. After all, it's no fun if everyone's a leet peeveepee-er.

The original fleet's flagship will be the Punisher Zero Point when I'm in it, and whatever the hell the FC is flying when I'm not. The flagship serves no real purpose, but any fleet should have a flagship, really. (The flagship pilot and the FC are not the same person when I'm flying the Zero Point.)

Priority should be given to ECM ships at all times, and DPS ships during any siege combat that occurs. Slots should also be reserved for allied capital pilots during cyno operation: the cyno ship and the jumping ship need to be in the same fleet.

Oh well, good luck. Maybe you can get lucky and exceed their attention span or something.

dbrb's attention span is measured in weeks not hours

goonswarm wins wars by losing every single battle - they just continue to show up until one day you don't

The barbarians are at the gate only they're awful.
