== What is Bloc Warfare? ==
== What is Bloc Warfare? ==
Bloc warfare is, at its simplest, when large alliances fight each other over objectives considered to be important. In sovereign nulsec, this mostly consists of fights over [[Upwell Structures]], [[Territorial Control Units]], and [[Infrastructure Hubs]]. In lowsec, this consists of fights over Upwell Structures and Faction warfare objectives. The "Bloc" part of the name refers to the fact that these objectives are commonly fought over by coalitions of multiple large sov-holding alliances. These fights may be part of declared wars between large alliances. The defining feature of Bloc Warfare is their size. Most Bloc fights have 100-200 players per side, though the largest battles can have upwards of 2,000 players per side. In Bloc warfare, more so than anywhere else, Fleet [[Doctrines]] are extremely important. Fleet commanders must know the capabilities of the ships under their command, and if all players in the fleet are flying the same type of ship with the same fit, than this becomes much easier. In all but the largest fights, all ships in the fleet have the same type of tank (armor or shield).
