Well, as the title says :)
I thought it could be a good idea to have a discussion about what we need before the next attempt at sov.
I'll write something more later :P
-
need more active players in corp
just my 2c

Thats a given ;)
But we need more people in alliance (carebears or not they can be used as cannonfodder :P)
I'm thinking more along the lines what numbers we think might be needed (in total) and what kind of cap-fleet.
My own thoughts are:
1. Dominion has made large fleet fights painful (i've heard), 200+ in system makes it nigh on impossible to do anything.
2. "Crashing a node" is a viable and legit tactic in a pinch.
3. Assuming we initially aim for "crap" space (no high end moons or such to start with) none of the really big guys will bother.
With these in mind I belive what we need in number is to be able to field 150-200 people in order to defend space. We are not aiming for these numbers by ourselves.
As for caps I think we need about 50 dreads.
Now for us.
My belief is that we should aim to being able to field ~30 people on our own and should aim for having enough dreads to be able to one or at most two cycle a deathstar.
30 man fleets make a very good core of a medium-small alliance and should give us enough people "in house" to do fun roams or other pvp without having to rely on coaxing carebears from their wh or rats.
Again I'll post more when I come up with more irrelevant garbage :P

game needs to not be fucked with more than a handful on grid, otherwise attempting this becomes a lesson in hating ccp after 4hs blackscreened only to be killed on gridload by fighters.
seriously as things stand its a pointless task while ccp arent proactively trying to sort out legacy issues.
hate to be the downer guy but its pretty much messy territory right now

also its laggy with 80 ships on grid and thats cruisers and smaller etc as i found out on wednesday :(

Well :)
As you know this is for the future :) you know I plan and think to much anyways.
In either case, true that large fleets suck right now.
Which means that a large fleet is unlikely to assemble to take space you already have. For a smaller group such as us that could possibly be a benefit given that we would focus on unclaimed "crap" space.
Mechanics might suck but they should be exploitable (in the legal way I mean).
In either case, it doesn't hurt to know what we might need in the long run i belive.
