Last night we successfully ran an anomaly in a class 5 system with assault frigates, stealth bombers and 2 guardians. Up to then we would have all tooled up in Dominix battleships warped in and sat still while the sleepers would come at us. Last night that static battleplan changed forever.
The system in question reduced the signature radius of ships, improves small weapons and the remote repping of armour. A perfect combination for our set up of assault frigates and logistic ships. The fly in the ointment was the loss of 3 ships, 2 Manticores and 1 Taranis. The Manticore losses both happened at the spawning of a new wave, first time it just popped to alpha damage, the second time it fell to the second volley. The Taranis disappeared to a 9k shot from the last ship in the anomaly just as he was going down, we are not sure why this happened.
Of course we all prefer to note that the three ships that popped were all repped by one of the Guardians pilots whereas those of us being repped by the other all survived…
For those newer to Eve, small signature radius allows you to avoid most damage that large weapons do. Or to put it another way, if the same weapons hit a bigger ship they would do more damage. My Assault frigate sailed through this explosion with all the sleeper battleships throwing missiles at it.
