A common question is what should you bring to a locust fleet. Here are some general roles and guidelines, but keep in mind that everyone who runs a locust fleet runs it their own way.

-Tank: A ship designated to receive aggression from the NPCs, the tank is usually a BS or better ship (for level 4 missions) capable of permanently tanking the mission it is running. There are usually 1-3 tanks per 10 person fleet, but it never hurts to have more.

-Damage Dealers (DD): The DD role is to kill as many enemy ships as quickly as possible. DD ships are usually BC or better for level 4 missions. '''DD ships must still be capable of tanking''' due to aggro sometimes splitting up from NPCs, but it should not be their primary role. There are usually 6-8 DD per 10 person fleet.

'''DD ships must still be capable of tanking''' due to aggro sometimes splitting up from NPCs, but it should not be their primary role. There are usually 6-8 DD per 10 person fleet.

-'''Salvagers''': A salvager is a person who stays behind the fleet, collecting loot and salvaging NPC wrecks. This is an ideal role for a newer player looking to earn isk and standings, since it can be done with a destroyer. There are usually 1-2 salvagers per 10 person fleet.

If you want to bring a smaller ship or you are unsure about what to bring, ask whoever is running the fleet.
