It's a strong fleet composition but probably a bit too much 'force projection' unless you are planning to fight 30 at a minimum. For a group new to PVP that's probably asking a bit much while they find their feet.
Also -9000 style points for ECM obviously :P |

Too bad nobody will fight you because you have 2 Rooks. Also 2 Scimis Also a Rapier Don't be a little ***** and fly with more recons and logis than combat ships. Drakes, Canes, Rifters. That's all you need.
You're an idiot.... A rifter would be useless for a lowsec roaming gang. Learn2Eve.

And I think he was asking for a nicely structured gang, which mine is. If you want to run a "undock in anything you want as long as it has dps" gang, then do that. Sure he could run 7-10 canes and that would work. But with my gang, he has the ability to take on the big fleets and survive without much trouble.
Its much more fun to go out in a structured small gang and take on fleets 2x or 3x your size.

Agreed. I think this stipulation was missing from your initial suggestion for the reason I put above

You're an idiot if you think that. TL has used Rifters to great effect in lowsec roaming gangs. Learn2KnowOtherPeopleMightKnowThingsYouDon't.
Don't be an ass and assume that just because you can't do it doesn't mean someone else can't. |

As others said, it's completely up to the goal of the operation. A balanced fleet has a flagship (usually large and prolly a DPS ship), a core of DPS boats, a fewer number of scout/tacklers, logistical support (both logi ships for repair as well as bringing extra ammo for the fleet), and EW support.
The size and expense of the ships varies but the roles themselves can all be represented at any level.
More fun are 'theme' fleets with 7-10 folks. Bubble camps in a bunch of Stealth Bombers springs to mind. That's a lot of SB's for a single bubble so you can be confident in being able to hammer most targets that land in the bubble, or you can split up into a couple bubbles with that many SB's.
While I hated BC blobs in null sec, my favorite thing to do in Eve is just blob in a pack of frigates and roam low sec. Like a pack of mangy dogs we'll end up dueling each other if we run out of targets. With a roam route that stays near home, losing ships only puts a dent in our fleets long enough for us to run back and grab another boat.
It's more like organized vagrancy than a military operation............
We also do fleet ops with specific hulls just to mix up what we're flying. What happens when you mix whiskey, voice comms, and 20 Thorax's in a fleet??? Pure comedy gold, usually.
Edit- Rifters are 'useless' in low sec roaming gangs??? News to me. The guys in my corp will all be heartbroken when I inform them.  |
