Hydra principle dictates that all weaknesses should be covered with collective mind and movements. The high vole damage and agility of the destroyer makes them perfect alpha strikes. The main defense of the pack will be the high offensive strength that is sufficient enough to destroy hostile before it engages the pack.

A basic math could show us the Alpha strength of the pack. A low level character could easily make around 450-500 vole damage with a destroyer. With decent skills, rigs this number could go up to 900-1000. Assuming a pack of 30 destroyers with average of 400 vole damage; Alpha strike of the pack will be 12000 which is sufficient enough for all frigates class (tech 1 and tech 2) and tech 1 cruisers. After second or third salvo, most of the Battle Cruisers will go down ! This decisive damage will finalize the engagement in matter of 1 or 2 minutes. This alpha strike usually supported by multiple flyby attack through different directions which ends up taking a single ship with each attack will be main tactic of the wolf pack.

Such short attacks will minimize the chance of being targeted and destroyed by hostiles. Even in extended fights, limited e-war support systems fitted will be sufficient enough to level hostile threat.
