Logistics: Difference between revisions

Line 1,168:

As explained in the section on [[Guide_to_Logistics#Cap-Chain Logistics Cruisers|Cap-Chain Logistics Cruisers]], cap-chain ships have the advantage of abundant capacitor and they seldom have to worry about having to cycle modules on and off. But cap-chain logistics pilots do have an extra layer of complexity to deal with: maintaining the capacitor chain. There are a few ways to do this, but the most common method in Eve University fleets is to organize cap-transfer partners in a dedicated logistics chat channel set up by the logi captain. Once you are in this channel, the names above and below yours in the Member List are your transfer partners (assuming a 1-up, 1-down transfer scheme—your FC could choose a different one). Members at the very top and very bottom of the member list are also partnered. The advantage of using a chat channel is that members can drop out of the channel when they are destroyed or otherwise incapacitated, and the remaining, neighboring pilots can adjust by obtaining a new cap-transfer partner from the member list.

~~== Conclusion ==~~

~~'''Random Thoughts:'''~~

~~For the pilot, flying Logistics Ships is the ultimate team-player.~~

~~These ships are not for the ad-hoc fleet, it requires training and practice to be an effective logistics pilot.~~

~~Since Logistics are a ''force multiplier'', they can enable a smaller fleet of skilled pilots to take on and prevail over a larger fleet.~~

~~There is a place for Tech 1 Logistics, they can be used at the squadron level, or be assigned to shadow and support one or two Damage Dealers and/or EWar ships.~~

~~Tech 1 Logistics is where to ''begin'' training the new logistics pilots.~~

~~Tech 1 Logistics can be used to support missions and small classed wormholes fleets.~~

~~Tech 1 Logistics can be used for remote sensor boost and tanking an interceptor on a defensive gate camp.~~

~~I have discovered no ''value'' in direct combat support roles, for mining.~~

~~Could Logistics, be the ''key'' to providing ILN ESCORT SERVICES?~~

*A logistics ship providing buffer tanking to the transport.

*This is a tactic/operation to be examined.

~~'''Fleet Replenishment''', classed under non-combat logistics, was not examined by this author.~~

*Orcas flying in mining fleet is the reverse of this concept,

*This is another tactic/operation to be examined.

~~Truly, effective Combat Logistics begin with Tech 2 ships and there must be multiples of them to take advantage of the spider-tanking bonuses.~~

~~The Spider-Tanking bonus is the real power behind logistics.~~

Can two T2 Logistics ships '''Tank AND Cap Stabilize''' each other to an extent where they can become a fortress. Use shield tanking, projected ECCM, and energy transfers, and still retain enough capabilities to support a fleet, wing, or squadron?
