{{Update|Some of the information in this article is out-of-date.}}

This is a basic introduction to small cruiser-~~sized kiting~~ fleets ~~into~~ nullsec, ~~specifically sovnull,~~ with the intent of catching ratters and ~~being able to kite~~ response fleets, using high mobility ~~to escape if necessary~~.

This article serves as a basic introduction to kiting with small cruiser-size fleets while travelling through [[Sovereignty|sovereign nullsec]]. In particular, this article addresses fleets formed with the intent of catching ratters, and provides guidance on kiting (and escaping from) response fleets using high mobility.

Small kiting gangs are ~~in multiple ways a different skillset compared to the usual way the uni tends to fight -~~ fast-paced, agile hit-and run ~~facing~~ superior forces ~~instead of~~ jumping/baiting ~~people with a slow-moving~~ larger ~~fleet~~. ~~It requires a different mindset and~~ active decision-making ~~of every~~ individual pilot, thus ~~somewhat~~ more ~~piloting~~-~~skill~~ intensive.

Small kiting gangs are characterized by fast-paced, agile, hit-and-run tactics aimed at engaging superior forces, in contrast to the jumping and baiting tactics utilized by slower, larger fleets. Kiting gangs require active decision-making from each individual pilot, and can thus be more skill-intensive than other fleet types.

~~There is an extra section with tipps and tricks for the skirmishers that are a crucial part of this~~ fleet, as catching ratting ships is quite difficult and requires far more knowledge than the basic "spiraling and keeping point" approach of a tackler. Good skirmishers is what makes or breaks this playstyle.
