You should have 1 Augoror for every 3-4 Vexors, starting at 3 Augorors for a fleet of 8-10 Vexors. Do not undock without at least three Augorors. If you don’t have 12 pilots in fleet (one scout, 8 Vexors, 3 Augorors), this is not an appropriate doctrine for your small gang and you should fly something else. If at all possible, you should start with 4 Augorors, 12 Vexors, a scout, a command destroyer, and a couple other support ships for a total of about 20 in fleet as a good critical mass of this doctrine. | You should have 1 Augoror for every 3-4 Vexors, starting at 3 Augorors for a fleet of 8-10 Vexors.

Do not undock without a command destroyer, fitted with two links modules (armor resists > armor buffer | Do not undock without a command destroyer, fitted with two links modules (armor resists > armor buffer = tackle range > speed > else). Command destroyers are both the best links ships for T1 cruisers and invaluable for messing with enemy positioning; in small engagements, they also provide a scram on a ship that is faster than your DPS wing and therefore can help lock down targets that might otherwise MJD away. As the fleet gets larger, keep a minimum 1 command destroyer per 8-10 Vexors and there is no maximum number of Magi in your fleet. | ||
While Vexors should generally be fitted with mixed tackle/ewar, dedicated tackle ships are useful. For smaller fleets, this includes a Hyena and Keres, each with an AB and full armor tank and anchored on the logi wing (the Keres should be fit with a long point and 3 damps, as closing to scram range exposes the Keres to too much danger). You can also use a buffer tanked Ashimmu in the damage wing (it only costs about 125m with a t2 fit; fit with 3 neuts and 2 nos in the highs). | While Vexors should generally be fitted with mixed tackle/ewar, dedicated tackle ships are useful.
