Nedo199 > SOSO, what should be the comp for the nano fleet be? 2-3 dps 1 exm 1 logi atleast?
Bristol Caldre > Nano core is:
1-2 ceptors (leto, mali)
1-2 screeners (caracal, ONI, cerb)
Then, everything builds from there. Can have 9 DPS; can have 4 DPS and 2 webs and 2 ewar and 1 more screener
Essentially, the goal is to be able to peel off tackle and other small fleet items. The larger your Nano Gang (more canes) the more you can engage (12 canes can take out a 5 basi ball.. they just cant rep the alpha)
Bristol Caldre > So like, if we were to duo or trio. I'd take you and alpha. I would run ceptor, you two would both run "screeners" in thsi case screen and DPS
Bristol Caldre > If you get dropped by a 80 man gang, you just burn down (or sun, or whatever) and start shreking the tackle that burns at you
Bristol Caldre > Scale that up, add two canes, now you can shrek their screeners that try and burn in as well
Bristol Caldre > scale that up, now you can burn through logi and battle ships
Nedo199 > O
Nedo199 > i like this explantion
Bristol Caldre > https://i.redd.it/zb03y3t33s551.png
Nedo199 > so it really depends on what numbers you have, which effect what you can kill/gang!
Bristol Caldre > yeah, entirely
Bristol Caldre > The other day we came into fox holers. I ran two screeners and 9 canes,.... typically, they bring a minimum 4 basi block with T2 DPS ships... so you end up needing literally that number to even kill their weakest ship
Bristol Caldre > If you start bleeding canes, bleeding screeners, your group can still fight, you just have to shirnk your engageable target
Bristol Caldre > If you start with that full block, then just "scale down" with each few losses
Nedo199 > so if i start bleeding too much it should be pull range while killing tackle
Nedo199 > then try to kill something off the field that the fleet can take down fast!
Bristol Caldre > It should ALWAYS be pull range and kill tackle. (Exception to follow)
But sometimes you get out gunned (Think cruise missile typhoon at 100k) so your pilots should "fly their own ships", thats a hard thing to teach, but most people lose a few and start to get the hang of it
So if you're getting hit by cruise at 100km, you should be warping and coming back. But sometimes those people jsut hold field and die...
So yeah, as an FC you have to have everyone on watch list and attempt to get them to realize where they're positioned, where they need to be going.
The EXCEPTION, is when you actaully start to out gun the enemy... Think large DPS block starts warping off, you kill enough smaller things. At that point you can dive. "Burn in burn in burn in" primary is XYC in the drake. Can i get webs and drones on SEM in the slasher. Everyone watch rtange on the hyperion (If there are only three left, and you have that medium sized block, you can dive)
Nedo199 > i love you rn, ok so, ima actully go for it today, even if its a small group that would be fun !
Bristol Caldre > yeah! low stress man. I whelped a 2.6bill fleet yesterday :P
Nano fleets are like.. 500milfor 8 people worth of fun ^.^
Bristol Caldre > never feel bad about whelpign them
Nedo199 > i mean if i go on a nano fleet, i know i welping myslef atleast lol
