Who's doing what?

[Sn00ks]

To try and get some structure in our budding fleet I thought it would be worth working out who is specialising in which areas so we don't all do the same thing or overlook any crucial elements.What skills and ships should a wing group contain? Should we have different skills/ships for different tasks? I for one am concentrating on fighter skills and hope to upgrade to a Banshee soon.

im willing to go down the electronic warfare route

[BrotherTobious]

Fight and fade is my plan

[smilodon]

I'm electronic warfare, with a Spectre.  Might look at the Assault ships too. I agree we need to spread out and diversify a bit.

[Gortex]

What are the main types you can play? I am a fighter at the moment but that is very early stages and am specking heavily into powerful weapons for fast hit and run strategy.

I'm half way through writing a quick guide to ship types. Will be posted up tomorrow

[Gandalf]

I'm in the light strike fighter role at the moment. Early days so can specialise when I get more knowledge of the game!

Alb3rt is L17 and I have an Advanced Raider. L5 or 6 Cannons and Missiles, same for engines and hull. L3 across the board for skills training. Also have L3 or 4 computer add ons across the board.

Also have an Advanced Heavy Raider but prefer the normal Raider for strikes.

Have 1.2m Tylium and 47k cubits and 200k Titanium saved up.

Lets discuss the Wings requirements before I spend as at 2m Tylium and L20 I can buy a Line.

Already got enough to get an Escort and fully load it thinking Banshee or Wraith.

Cheers,

Albert

I'm going down the Electronic Warfare, Support & Counter-Measures route.  
TL is currrently flying a L15 Advanced Heavy Raider with Level 10 computers for all EW.   Not really put any time into researching improved weapons, just focused on the EW upgrades.

Aiming for an Advanced Hel in the long run, not sure if I will skip the Spectre and jump straight to the Hel, or if I need go the intermediate route first.

OK so let us say that we have a number of build options. Electronics, Attack and a combination of both.

What do you think a strike force should consist of?
50% Attack, 25% Electronics and 25% Mixed?
25% Attack, 50% Electronics and 25% Mixed?
Or some other option?

The spectre gives a nice introduction to flying larger ships. It's very different to flying interceptors and in appreciating the chance to try a different play style. Give it a go

On the BSGO forums I read that this type of ship is fine for Op Missions and working with a Wingman Escort to cover your back. But solo they have such large blind spots a level 25 dedicated Strike can pwn you, one who has maxed out everything needed to be extra fast and can outflank you. Alternatively you could run it as a squad member but you'll find that you do more work than your team mates as you have the firepower but it costs far more Tylium to fuel and Titanium to repair, ammo is more expensive, plus you don't get as much a return in a squad as such a big ship could get alone. So Line = Op Missions to destroy Outposts, that's where you get your reward.

Are we going to take on a Colonial outpost in the near future?
I suspect not so line class may be a liability.
I think we will enjoy taking out those pesky water-sacks so a more nimble craft would be better. I imagine us hunting like a wolf pack, working together to take down large prey.
Then every so often we go on a mining frenzy to replenish our stocks.
