So the OP is saying that he has gathered a bunch of blokes to hunt pies where he previously saw them soloing and in relatively small ships. And then he states that he didn't wanna blob or smth.

4-5 people is far from a blob. That's what's referred to as a small gang, and is one of the most fun parts of PVP battle in eve.
Sorry to hear about the failure of anti-pirateness, but you really *WILL* find that most places in low sec. I'm really actually somewhat tempted to give it a go now that you're so vehemently for it, but I guess some things just aren't worth acting on (-9. ftl)

Usually blob is considered as zounds of ships, but I consider it when someone is hugely overpowering. Now imagine those mentioned ships jump on one cruiser, then this small gang kinda becomes a blob for me. I know, I prefer small gangs as well (2, 3 ships), but anything that is more than 4 times stronger than the enemy is considered a blob by me. And 4 vs 1 isn't 4 times stronger, it is 20 times stonger, cuz they all can (well depending on setups, but generally) EWAR, rep, deal dmg, web, scramble, spam drones and all that simultaneously.
Edit: note - you have trained advanced typo lvl5.

Originally by: Deschenus Maximus So me and my buds decided to go pirate hunting last night for the first time. Our little group consisted of me in a Drake, a Vexor, a Caracal and an Heretic. Things start out kinda boring, since no one seemed interested to play, but then we get a tail and all of a sudden, a Rook piloted by a -7 something engages my bud in the Caracal. We all scramble to him but without warning, local jumps by 5-6 other pirates and we decide not to stick around. The Vexor and Heretic dock, and the Caracal stays in a SS near the gate to scan down the opposition...
-Armageddon -2 x Vagabonds -2 x Deimos -Rook -Raven
Not being suicidal fools, we decided not to take'em on and decided to call off the hunt.
That was not fun at all. Though we took no losses (except a few drones the Vexor had to leave behind), we were outnumbered and heavily outgunned. When I had previously visited the area alone, the local yarrers all seemed to move around alone or in groups of two, and the fanciest ship I had seen was a Myrm.
The question I bring forth is this: now what? Get bigger ships? More guys? I didn't want to blob, but faced with this kind of firepower, I don't get how we could successfully engage without having the advantage in numbers.
BTW, I'm not criticising the pirates for not wanting to play ball and give us a chance. I'm just asking for advice.
If your at the stage where you amazing and alot of sp specialised in different areas but good enough to be amazing. Then you should have changed into different ships with your mates and fitted for the situation. But I highly doubt you are any of those things since you are asking the question ;) I only know 2 or 3 people in eve who fit what I said and they are godlike pvpers. But If you cant then dont fight.
I was being station camped before by 4 guys. 1 in af, 1 in inty, 1 cruiser and frig. All pvp war fitted.
I go afk for 15 mins and leave note in loca telling corp mate were being station camped (he was afk). Coming back 15 minutes later I see all 4 pwned by him on his own (He juist fitted for situation :). He wasn't using bs or anything. Just fitted well for it :)
Players like those who can succesfully comment on more then 2 races with really good setups are the realy good players.

Originally by: DarkElf mmmm i'm a little confused.
Firstly you semm to be suggesting that because they have a few number and big ships then that means you have to blob them. if it's an even fight your looking for then why would you think you'd have to have more numbers than them? why not have the same number as them?
I didn't say I was looking for an even fight. I don't blame the pies for trying to outnumber/outgun us, but I'd rather be the one doing the outnumbering/outgunning. More importantly, we can't field an all T2/BS gang, so to compensate for quality, I was suggesting quantity.
Originally by: DarkElf Also this is 1 situation and 1 group of ppl. i still seem to find groups of 2 or 3 and solo pirates but that's in low sec, for obvious reasons in 0.0 it is more rare.
This is was in low sec.
Originally by: DarkElf Just find it strange that you seem to be judging the general state of pvp on 1 event.
I wasn't commenting on the general state of PvP, just this particular case. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Kk just read the quality thing now before my last post ;) Sorry :) But I hope I helped in some way :D

Originally by: Deschenus Maximus How am I being petty?
You will be outnumbered in many engagements. Just have to learn that this is how it is.
No amount of numbers in your gang will create the "I WIN" situation you're looking for.
There is always a bigger fish...(or school of fish)
100 Motherships?
(100 titans is just excessive )
100 carriers around a gate Just thinking about it is ownage in my mind :D

@Jebe: I don't know what to say to you. When will you be satisfied its not a blob? When I go after you in an unarmed hauler with "SHOOT ME!" painted on the side? FFS! We didn't even have ONE battleship! Blob my ass...
@Destr0math: Well, many bored carebears make pirate alts... maybe its time for a pirate to make and anti-pirate alt 
@SaintBubba: Yeah, I'm still very new to PvP, so no way yould we have been able to win that fight.

Well, my friend, you don't need to have a BS to call smth a blob, in fact decent amount of crusers backed up with some EWAR can render any battleship and pwn the fat sucker no prob and yes that would be overpowering thus I would call it a blob.

There's really nothing I can if this is really how you see things. Enjoy single-player Eve.
