==Tactics==

A Scythe is cap stable ~~ship and doesn't need energy~~ from other logistics ships~~, but that does not mean that~~ it's a ~~solo logistic~~ ship~~. It's inexpensive~~, ~~that also means you need~~ to ~~use the same tactics as smaller damage dealers to bigger ships~~. ~~Just~~ as the ~~DD ships focus all their guns at one ship to kill~~ it~~, the~~ logistics pilots ~~need to~~ work as a team to save ~~a ship~~. ~~If more than one~~ of ~~the~~ fleet ships ~~is under attack, the logi '~~squad~~' leader calls the ship to rep for shields~~. ~~For more information please read~~:

With decent character skills, the Scythe can run cap-stable, supporting its fleetmates successfully without capacitor transfer from other logistics ships. This makes it a more convenient ship for fast-response fleets scrambling to form up quickly to defend a system or leap on a target of opportunity, when there is less time to organise a "chain" of mutual capacitor transfers. This fast "grab-and-launch" quality synergizes well with shield logistics, as the fits used for fast-moving gangs often have buffer shield tanks.

The Scythe's capacitor-independent nature does ''not'' make it a solo logistics ship. Scythe pilots should work as a team to save ships and to keep each other alive. Depending on the size and type of fleet, logistics ships will be coordinated using watchlists and/or broadcasts and/or a logistics squad commander who will call out logistics targets.
