This is aimed at those who have seen some proper action with alliance fights. If u could hand pick a tottal of 80 ships for an arranged fight what would it be?
Both sides have a choice on points/ or ship class numbers ie 25 caps, 25 bs, 3 command ships, 7 recon/ 10 bc/hack 10 frig/ dictors.
U make the rules, or change tottal numbers. The main aim to train ur fleet to deal with hard battles. This could be done on the test server but would be much better played out with a fight only halting on the capitols( ie when they hit hull they are out since they cost so much) but all other ships can be killed. letting the smaller stuff die will sting but gives everyone the other side u cant get from a test server.
Im mainly looking for people who have fc ed in those type of fights or understood the nitty gritty of the whole battle and ship class uses. If u think it has to be at a poss, so be it and therefore what extra ships for the attackers and how would u start it.
If new alliances go fresh into a war withought knowledge it can cost them too much before they learn how to get stuff done.
So lets say the small rodent alliance is blue and next door they have friends, the smaller furry stuff alliance. Both alliances have been busy little badgers and created lots of isk (enough to throw some about) but very little pew pew experience. They both say lets have a friendly...what would u arrange to train them for harder times to come.

Depends WHERE.
if 0.0, without super-capital class ships, I would have a few carriers, front line repping class, mostly battleships, all with points, and some snipers, and some light catch.
But thats me.

are bs still the daily bred and butter ? well I meen I think even then a few capitols might be nice since they seem to be a key in the whole holding space thingy, Even if u had 5 carriers, it adds to the remote repping learning curver

Capitals are still being used more and more, however they are dieing at a insane rate as well. Battleships are the most affordable heavy hitters, just.

Well it depends
In a lag free environment, i would have a sniper group and a close range group. Snipers go in first, try and clear as much support as possible, and after a few moments the close range group is given the order to move in, also deploying drones.
However, as it stands, in eve atm its better to keep the BS group together at around 150 to 160km. Support takes out enemy support in alphabetical order (or you can order support to stick with the BS and kill any support that gets close) and you call targets for the BS.
So i would choose
5 Eagles (Insta pop them dam enemy dictors)
60 BS (mix of megas temps apocs maelstroms, NO Domi's, phoons, ravens)
2 Dictors
3 Cov ops
10 Ceptors

In that situation arranging freighter runs would be more usefull than an arranged fight tbh.
When running gangs of people who arent prepared for a serious war the biggest problem is to keep the discipline during the long hours it takes before an engagement finally happens. Most "noobs" will get bored after the first few days in a large conflict and stop logging in much or will rapidly loose the TS discipline after the first dull moments.

Yeah, sure. Any decent fleet will die from boredom when attempting to catch your squad running away from them. Don't mix up gankage with fleet fighing. :)

agre with the comand ships... even if ur guys are rellativly fresh on skills or pimping there inties out a few nice gang bonuses u sudenly have a faction fitted inty squad tackling bs outsude of nos range and doing over 5kps (light drone speed and aviode alot of missiel damge + tracking).
To deel with that u can use the traditional eagle style sniper but against a fast dictor with extender a few cloaked rapiers waiting can be the way to go.
Try to remeber both sides will have the same starting ship types so the easy to say 25 titans would meen 25 titans v 25 titans, not something that would bring out good traning esp with different ship classes.

All above are realy good fleets so after giving some though i came up with this
6 motherships (nyx's prefered)
3 cov ops (cheeta's > anything else)
1 dictor
10 curse's (speed fitted)
58 vaga's (with good pilots)
2 claymore (max skilled with skirmish gang assists)
A more guerila warfare approach than leeroying straight into fleets. Would only work in lag-free enviroment's (sp? :P)

20x Abaddon - Mega Beam IIs, Energized Adaptive Nanos, Damage Control, 2x 1600mm Plates, Heat Sinks, ECCMs in the mids + dampeners
20x Tempest - 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II, Energized Adaptive Nanos, Damage Control, 2x 1600mm Plates, Gyrostabilizers, similar mids to above
5x Raven - Cruise Launcher IIs with precisions, Sensor boosters, large extenders and invulnerability fields, plates in the lows
10x Carrier/MS - 1x Capital Remote Shield Transporter, 3x Capital Remote Armor Repairer, 1x Armored Warfare Module, Drone Control mod. Cap Rechargers in the mids
5x Flycatcher - MWDs and extenders
5x Huginn - Webs + target painters
8x Lachesis - Dampeners at long range + plating
5x Crow - Long Range tackling + speed
2x Buzzard
Basic idea is to have each of the carriers provide armor and shield transport for the BS, which can withstand punishment thanks to heavy plating and resists. Abaddons are specialized in stripping the shields off of shield tankers and normal ships while the 20 tempests 1-volley the armor and structure.
Ravens + Huginns focus on taking out support, with the crows moving in on heavier targets and applying fighters. Huginns also have fighters assigned, since there are too many for the crows to handle. The combination of precision cruise missiles, webifiers and target painters make anything smaller than a battlecruiser dead meat.
Lachesis group sits at range and spreads dampeners around enemy BS. The effective increase in locking time seriously degrades their ability to switch targets on the fly and decreases damage dealt to allied fleet.
Flycatchers warp in and out, applying bubbles to main groups of enemy BS with the help of warp in points provided by Buzzards. Buzzards are flown by FCs, making target calling more fluid since they don't have to worry about keeping themselves alive and don't have to fire on anyone.

Assuming no Capitals or Super Capitals:
Sniper BS fleet - 40 bs (Apoc, Geddon, Pest, Baddon, Hyp, Maelstrom, Mega, Rokh, 2-3 Scorps and / or Ravens) - Damage Damage Damage setup, 160 + km Range. Whoever is catched with a Plate or Hardener or Large Repper should be podded repeatedly.
Command Ships - Hacs - 30 ish of them - Should have 5 Eagles and 5 Munins.
5 Intys - No Afs.
3 Dictors
2 Cov Ops
_---
If you assume Caps and Super Caps then well :D
1 Titan - For the fear factor
2 Moms - Same as above + remote repping
7 Carriers - Repping
40 Snipe Battleships
20 Commands - Hacs (5 Eagles and 5 Munins)
2 Dictors
2 Cov Ops
6 Intys
So in both case, no Recons, no Assault Frigs, no T1 useless crap, no BCs.
Maybe squeeze in a Logistic or 2 in somewhere. Especially in no caps setup.

A Traditional Fleet would have.
1. Damage Dealers...Turret BS. Min-Defence Max-Damage
2. EW...This can be recons scorps or even BB. Min-Def Max-EW
3. Support...Dictors and inties. Speed & Tackling
Nowadays I tend to see lots of
Commandships, Recons, HACs and Dictors roving about in fairly large gangs.
Its a pretty effective combo because it has the mobility and firepower. Also with the added Supercaps in this game BS heavy fleets are not advised unless you are confident enough that your BS's can evade DD's and large Fighter swarms.

Hmm... I really have to say it depends on if it's a roaming fleet or a pitched fleet engagement.
For a roaming fleet, I'd say fit for short range and speed. Because your more than likely going to be bum rushing opponents.
28 Blasterthrons (or a mix of them and autopests/abbadons)
6 Sliepners (All as commanders with one gang mod each, depending on what is in their squad)
6 huginns/rapiers (hold down any fast movers)
6 arazus all with max points. In a close range fight, the dampers are less useful. Better just to keep your opponent in place.
12 Rooks They are force multipliers, get the max DPS of the other gang choked out.
2 sabres for obvious reasons
8 crows so you can catch the other teams cepters.
2 cov ops
For a pitched fight
40 T2 sniper Mega/Tempest
8 Logistic fitted domis
20 Falcons set for max range
5 huginns for anti inty work
5 arty sliepners
2 cov ops

Okay... what are my objectives? what am I trying to achieve? how skilled (in real life) are the players under my command?
If this is a straight "kill as many of the other guy's ships as possible and lose as few of yours as possible" then my choice would be a battleship fleet of epic proportions, supported by carriers that are kitted out to the gills with remote repair systems and preferably triage modules as well.
believe it or not, for preference I'd prefer those battleships to be all Ravens. This probably sounds daft to most experienced FCs, but I reckon that a bunch of power-tanked Ravens fitted with shield transfer modules in their two free highslots and supporting each other would make for a really potent combination. Picture a fleet of ships that are kitted to weather any onslaught of damage long enough for their allies to lock them and boost their tank to hell. provided the ship weathers the initial assault, it gets called as "repair alpha" and within seconds is the target of as many shield transfers as are in range.
The downside to this? I'm laying a lot of onus on my pilots to be careful and infallible with who they repair and who they shoot. If I'm sitting there (and I'll be doing it cloaked and a long way above the battlefield so I don't get primaried and shot out of the fight) calling both a primary target and a repair alpha, I have to be working alongside a fleet of guys who can be trusted not to screw up and accidentally shoot the alpha and rep the primary.
However, the only time in which I would take that setup would be a no-brain slugfest. When it comes to more realistic fleet operations, the setup is perforce flexible - I'd have a different configuration for a gate camp than I would for a roaming gang, and something else entirely for hunting down lone wolf hunters in my alliance's home system.
Covering all the possibilities would not only take forever, it'd also give enemy Fleet Commanders an idea of my own MO as a senior FC, which I'd rather keep them guessing on for now.

4 Crow (Standard missile/speed fit - Gistii mwd would be worth it here)
3 Sabre
2 Covert Ops
1 War-linked Damnation (Armor fit (wing II))
50 Damp/Plate/Rage Torpedo ravens
Divide your ships into 2-3 firing squads to call primaries with - nothing really will survive more than 2 volleys from these suckers when webbed and painted. Basically just get the drop on them and its over. Have each raven spread 1 damp per target of their choice - with 2x sensor boosters thats 4 ships each, given the painting on the primaries, you can probably do 5 each. While each raven won't disable a ship itself, chances are there will be a good deal of overlap. Also, with the warfare linked eos and damp rigs on a raven - the damp strength on the sensor damps are pretty sick.
It's not perfection in a fleet by any means but hell, it would be fun. You might be able to take on some capships with that much raw firepower. It's not as if they would ever be able to lock you (Excepting of course those pesky Motherships and titans, but titans are dumb and I bet that 50 rage torpedoing ravens would give a mothership pilot some pause. )
Anyhow, that is for a slightly less cookie-cutter strategy.

few dictors, covert ops, good probers
rest rokhs with 3 sebos t2 for fast lock
outranges any fleet
only downside is the crappy agility of it

Hmm... I really have to say it depends on if it's a roaming fleet or a pitched fleet engagement.
For a roaming fleet, I'd say fit for short range and speed. Because your more than likely going to be bum rushing opponents.
28 Blasterthrons (or a mix of them and autopests/abbadons)
6 Sliepners (All as commanders with one gang mod each, depending on what is in their squad)
6 huginns/rapiers (hold down any fast movers)
6 arazus all with max points. In a close range fight, the dampers are less useful. Better just to keep your opponent in place.
12 Rooks They are force multipliers, get the max DPS of the other gang choked out.
2 sabres for obvious reasons
8 crows so you can catch the other teams cepters.
2 cov ops
For a pitched fight
40 T2 sniper Mega/Tempest
8 Logistic fitted domis
20 Falcons set for max range
5 huginns for anti inty work
5 arty sliepners
2 cov ops
How do you fit all of these ships into an itty 5?
My choice would be the BoB special
1 Titan
3 Freighters
This combination out does any pvp gang.

I'd have to go for:
30 Tempests (50/50 mix of close & long range)
20 Huginns
10 Scimitar
2 Cheetahs
2 Sleipnir
6 Hounds
10 Vaga's
Pure bias on the minny side for me, but can you imagine the Carnage it would cause

30 T2 Tempests (Split into 6 Alpha strike groups, setup gang squad lead possitions)
2 Covert ops (one above, one below fleet 400km apart)
2 Dictors (Warping in and out through gates asap to get enemy bubbled)
6 Crows (1 crow to each alpha group)
10 carriers (5 50km above the top Cov, 5 50km below the bottom, assiging drones from the bottom of A-Z overview, reparing the tempests that require)
5 Elite BC's with gang mods in around tempest as anti frig protections)
5 Vagabonds (To intercept enemy incoming cruisers)
10 Gangageddons (close range)
10 BlasterThrons
That should work pretty well vs a conventional fleet

Right some of u are drifting off the mark a bit (some spot on).
If there was a set of rules to get people ready for all ship class combat used in allaince fights (medium to big scale ie 80 v 80 .. if u think thats a fair number).
Then .. once thats sorted u can give ship types to those numbers bearing in mind ur oppenents are allowed the same ship class numbers in each.
glad to see a few rapiers in there,,, they can out do eagles for anti tackle when stuff gets close.
nice to see some webbing recons in there,, think u need a few amongst eagles to work on suport up close.

This is really dependend on the allaince and the FC for the fight, but generally speaking:
30 Tempest (alpha strike is important)
10 Muninns (stick with the BS, take down anything that get's close
10 Vultures (Far far more durable than eagles at the same cost and a bit less agility. Generally speaking, with my setup, I can take 2-3 alphas from enemy in this ship before warping out.)
5 dictors (they pop easy and 1 isn't enough)
5 Ravens (tank and cruise missle fitted. Again good for close range cruiser killing, support role only)
1 damnation with a shield and armor hardening warfare mod, and whatever else you desire)
1 claymore with speed mods and info mods).
18 Crow's (tacking and speed, Support wins fights, battleships just pew pew)
You'll never get the ideal setup because people can't always fly the ships listed. Based on current game mechanics though, this is a solid fleet that's versitle and very mobile. The key is less uniformity of ships, and more of fittings. Rohks are nice ships, but they don't make much sense in fleets currently. Same with Abbandons. Megas work well. More than anything, ships don't matter, the people flying them do.
Like I noted above, Support win's fleet fights, battleships are just the power. Make sure you're support is competent before ever heading into a fight.
finally, make sure people know their ship. It doen't do you any good to fly a cruiser one day, a frig the next, and a bs/command every other wednesday. Try to stay within the same ship class, and if truely devoted, the same ship for most fights. The better you know your ship, the better you perform

from a defensive position with an enemy fleet jumping in.
assuming no capitals are involved...
2 sabre's
2 cov ops
8 EOS with electronic warefare links and maxed skills.
and 7 squads consisting of.
3 falcons set up at 100km
2 crows (sb and scram)
1 Sniper Abaddon
1 Sniper Tempests
5 sniper megas
all sitting at an off grid BM waiting to warp in to their seperate snipe points all with their own warp out points in the direction of alignment they came in on so those silly titans can't DD your fleet.
7 smart FC's that have done this many many times before.
(80) cloaks so your enemy has no idea what your fleet is made of.

I'd say 80 titans ftw of course :/
You should say "if you're the FC of BoB and want to destroy competition in a system with your fleet" that would be no 80 Titans.
I'd say 3 titans, 10 motherships, 5 cariers, 15 dreads, 25 bs, 5 command ships, 10 inty, 4 dictors, 3 recon. But it really depends of what you want to do.

yarghhh, 80 badgers... well 2t or not yer that would pawn 80 anythings but.. it does not make u learn diffent ship classes.. so when we all done or the threds done I will do a tally of all those who have been using the idear for a non todger competion .. ragh !
hopefully the average of that will give some of the up and comings a little base to build off.
though of course I like the silly idears to.... id have to go for 79 badgers and a sabre.
u might only kill one ship but at least that ships got an embarsing kill mail that would lead to the corroption of the aliances moral and eventuall downfall.
