Just that.
What, in your opinion, would constitute the very best 5 man gang constituting a single race specific ships (please note whether LowSuck/Empire or 0.0). Assume speed nerf goes through I guess.
Which race? Why? Which ship types? Why?

Why would anyone even reasonably sane fly a 5-man gang with all ships from the same race?

RP? Mental excersize? Strangeness factor?
Regardless, then how about any 5 ships then.

5 Falcons. You might get enough DPS between them all to kill something.

Crow, Rook (for balls factor) or Falcon, Cerb, Rokh(rr), Torp Raven(rr).
Edit: If I just wanted a giant annoyance gang it would be 5 Scorps, all with ECCM and a RRep.

ok, I'll bite.
The boring type everyone suggested, but could actually work. 5 Torp-Widows with balanced jamming and tank.
The cool awesome pwn gang. Damnation, Absolution, 80km Neut Curse, 1x Zealot, 1xSac. If feelig ballsy, swap Curse for pulse/beam sader.
The mixed race 5 man pre speed nerf: Huggin, 80km Curse, Cerb, 2xScorch L Abbadons. Sit at 35km from Gate.

Caldari: 2 Falcons, 1 Oyx, 2 cerb's for roaming, swap out the cerb's for rohk's if not
Mini 4 rr phoon's 1 devoter
amarr 2 pulse zealots 1 curse 2 guardian
gallente 4 rr domi's 1 phobos
Only two of the races are worthwhile tbh for skirmish warfare.

cheetah, sabre, hyena and 2 hounds. probe, bubble, web em and let the stealthbombers kill them off.
small, fast and inexpensive gang, yet highly effective. extra points for collecting emorage tears from bs pilots whining about getting owned by a frig gang. It's nothing personal. I just want your stuff, and more importantly the fun of the fight. |

Homogenous race ships?
I'd have to go Caldari - IMO Caldari get the most specced ships, which means they're great if used right.
For 5 way, I'd say crow, falcon, 3x Ravens.
Fit Ravens with cruise/DPS/shield transfer and a neut. Drop them in at range, support with the Falcon, and use the crow to tackle.
For 0.0 substitute crow for flycatcher. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? |

Ohh yeah.
this is post patch so if that gang took on anything that has a half decent tank they'd drop warrior II's and all the ranis' would be dead in 2 minutes. This of course sucks balls.

5 can be tough, but a Crow/Raptor, Kitsune, & 3 Manticores should be fun for killing 1 or 2 HACs/Battleships.
If I get 10 ships
Nighthawk, 2 Onyx, 2 Rooks*, 2 Basilisks*, 1-3 Cerberus/0-2 Eagles
*ECM tends to be primaries, the Basilisk(s) place most of their shield transfers on the Rooks making the Rooks harder to kill. It isn't the greatest for a 5 man gang because you lack the redundancy of a second Basilisk (which can switch to boosting its twin if need be).
I think the question of you get any 5 ships of a particular race is a bit tough because it will create answers like 5 Titans. Putting a market isk value on the squadron and an upper number of ships will create more interesting answers.
I choose Caldari because I am most familiar with it and that is what I have done similar mental exercises with before. I have started to look at the Gallente to do something similar. Each race will have its particular strengths, best operating ranges, preferred combat environment, etc.

Amarr: 3 zealots, 2 guardians... Optional: drop a zealot for a sacri, pilgrim... Sacri if you need a heavy tackler, pilgrim for target acquisition/ scouting / warpin point
All of those ships are tough to crack, the combined team has a good amount of dps, and can keep each other alive if need be.
Actually a team of 3 sacris and 2 guardians might be slightly better due to spare highs and drone bays... problem would be reliance on ammo resupply, but with 600 m3 on each sacri, it might not be that bad.

Originally by: Soporo Just that.
What, in your opinion, would constitute the very best 5 man gang constituting a single race?
Asians. Totally.
Seriously though, since my experience is with caldari, I'd go for:
2 Torp Buffer Ravens [1 Neut/1 Remote Rep each - Shield Rep Drones] 1 Falcon [Racials and probe launcher] 1 HAM semi nano Cerb [~2km/s to maintain range] 1 HAM Buffer Drake [Full tackle]
Reasons being:
* I know Caldari the best since I fly their ships and they work well when put into their roles * Since the ravens use no cap for their buffer tank or torps, they can remote rep/neut long enough to last a fight. * HAM drake for extra DPS support and full tackle since the Ravens would only carry a point if that * Falcon to probe/scout/jam * Cerb to take out ranged support/small ships/fast ships * You have 4 combat ships that can dish out impressive DPS at good ranges while being kept alive through RR and ECM * The gang may be slow, but it will work out very well against pretty much any situation

Edited by: Felix Dzerzhinsky on 19/10/2008 07:39:36 1 Falcon - Cynos fitted of course :) 2 Zelots 1 Rapiers 1 Broadsword
that can be a good gang to fly 30+ jumps working down the line.

Another falcon would add more to your gang's tank than that vulture.
