As a relative newcomer, I am a little uncertain as to the relative power of ship types.
Given a level playing field of pilot and ship load-out, how many ships of a certain type are required to take out a superior class of ship? In other words, what is the ideal unit size of:
Frigates to defeat a Cruiser? Cruisers to defeat a Battleship? Battleships to defeat a Dreadnought?
This is probably a complicated question overly simplified, but I was just wondering upon the relative strengths of each class of ship - and whether it scaled neatly.
I guess it is also a good way to ask, how many individuals you should seek to recruit to a collective noun of each ship class:
- How many ships is ideal for a Fighter Wing? - How many ships is ideal for a Fighter Squadron?
...and so on.
Any Fleet Admirals out there, willing to share some insight?

Edited by: Deadflip2 on 07/06/2004 17:30:37 actually atm its more like:
frigates vs indys. cruisers vs frigates (in theory i think so), allthough atm any descent frig can take down a cruiser. bss vs cruisers. bss/ dreaghtnoughts vs bss. hordes of frigates vs dreaghtnoughts (??)
if its like 4 vs 2 or so even frigates can beat bss at times etc. theres no real static about classes in eve (unlike the hw2, flak frigate - bombers, bomber - subsystems, subsystems - warp interuption etc.) i could attempt to list the new ships comming but since i dont know enough yet i wont. --- "this song reminds me of the girl i met on a schooltrip, she was really nice, and she really liked me. I forgot to ask her her phone number" - Nelix trist OMG im a pretzel!!! |

Down in Bleak Lands during the Blood Raider hunting last week, a group of pirates in 6 inteceptors and 1 kestrel took out a few lone battleships with ease.
But as said above, after the next patch frigates will be without cruise missiles.
