Re: Squadron Deployment


As part of my duties, I am drafting a set of military guidelines to help pilots in the field to determine what craft they should deploy.

As more pilots enter the Guild, the pool of available ships will grow. This document is designed to reflect a range of ship deployments that will provide squadrons with flexibility and firepower - without unduly straining our resources. Certain squadron configurations are based on those of the major houses.

1) Defence Command Designation = GANK. Defence of GMG space.

2) Escort Command Designation = KAPPA. Escort of traders, and assault missions outside GMG space.

3) Assault Command Designation = By order of the GMG Board, an assault group is formed from all of the GMG squadrons for special missions.

[Number below denotes number of pilots, fighters can be substituted for any number of craft]
[Note that there is no limit to the number of fighters one can field, but fighter squadrons should try to have a mix of torpedo and CD weaponry]


1 = 1xBomber
2 = 1xFighter, 1xBomber
3 = 2xFighter, 1XBomber OR 2xFighter, 1xGB
4 = 2xFighter, 2xBomber
5 = 2xFighter, 3xBomber OR 2xFighter, 2xBomber, 1xGB OR 1xCruiser, 2xGB, 2xFighter
6+ Combination of 1-5


Deployment of battleships is at the sole discretion of the CEO. As security advisor I would recommend an escort of at least two Destroyers, two gunboats and 2+ fighters.

This is to say that battleship deployment should be at the head of a Main Assault Group only.
