=== Mobility ===

One of the biggest advantages of a frigate fleet is its mobility; small ships can travel quickly and engage/disengage quickly. A shield frigate fleet is preferable for this very reason; The obvious downside to this mobility is the fragility of the ships~~; an~~ FC must choose fights carefully and understand how to engage and disengage in ways that protect the fragile fleet.

* The obvious downside to this mobility is the fragility of the ships. An FC must choose fights carefully and understand how to engage and disengage in ways that protect the fragile fleet.

* For the sake of mobility, the fleet should probably be no greater than 30 people. If more than 30 people come along, a split squad strategy would be best, sending independent groups out and closing the main fleet on larger targets.

=== Range ===

* In a fleet like this, transversal is your best friend. With all the tackle frigs equipped with a scram, they can spiral in and close on larger ships and dictate the range of the engagement.

* The logi have an optimal range of 28-29k, so they should sit 20-25k out from the targets and continue moving, keeping transversal up. They are more squishy than the DD, so care should be taken to make sure they have each other on watch lists and can lock quickly if one gets targeted.

* The E-War ships should sit even farther out; they are the most fragile of all these ships (using E-War in the mids instead of shield mods) and as such need the range to be effective. The Griffin has an optimal range of 43k, the Crucifier 90, so both should use their MWD to open distance if necessary (not in a straight line!) and continue TD/ECM-ing all the things.

=== Which fights to pick ===

* A well-executed frigate fleet should be able to punch well above its weight, and a frigate fleet with Logi and E-War is a force multiplier on that already significant potential.

* Fast kiting frigates are always a danger with a fleet like this, but the ECM should help significantly with shutting that down.
