Here's the guide: http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Spider_tank
First read that, then read the rest!

Fleet/Gang Setup:

Must have:
5-10 Battleships with 2 large remote armor repairs and 1-2 ECCM or Projected ECCM

Optional:
"Godmode": 1 carrier with triage mod ( Can rep 15k dps! More on this later )
1-2 Huggins with webs and target painters
2-3 Logistics with many remote armor repairs ( More on this later )
1-2 Lachesis with points and scramblers ( or 1-2 hics when in 0.0 )
1 Command ship with command modules ( this really helps ALOT! )

IF there's no desync, this fleet can take down atleast 3 times their numbers of enemies!


The biggest problem is ECM, this is why you use ECCM.

Battleships + Logistics:
Put everyone on your watchlist, as soon as you see someone under attack lock him and start repping asap
Assign drones to the rapiers

Huggins:
#1, Attacks the primary
#2, Kill's enemy frigates

Lachesis:
#1, locks down primary + secondary
#2, locks down the rest ( as many as possible )

Command ship:
Stays with the battleships

Rep on self:
30k dps ( this means you'll need 10-15 phoenix's, 5-10 of the other dreads or about 50 battleships to break your tank )

Rep on other:
Guardian: 25k dps
Damnation: 35k dps


Cap lasts about 7 minutes if you need to repair yourself
Cap lasts about 2 minutes if you need to rep someone else ( you'll only need a few cycles to fully rep someones armor )

PS: Standard or higher exile booster is a must have!
PSS: Don't worry about cap boosters, you can bring ALOT
PSSS: This fitting only costs close to 1.1b as you bring no drones!

Few tips:

FC should use the regroup funtion, this makes everyone orbit the FC at 500m so ur all in range of eachother
Always have the logistics and tacklers locked or they will die before you lock them
Bring full inventory of cap booster
Don't forget to assign drones and to recall them



Video:
Hmmm doesn't work... Will try again later


We had 8 domi's, 1 hyperion, 3 guardians, a commandship, a rapier and an arazu.
We were fighting: Atleast 9 bs's, 15 bc's, few tacklers and some cruisers.

We lost:
Rapier ( He got instapopped, even with his plates... )

They lost:
All their bs's, about 10 bc's and then they started to bail out...

well u guys heavily outgunned them in everyway.
also no damage control on that damnation whats up with that?
and the case witht he triage carrier makes him a very easy target since no1 needs to tackle him since he cant move while seiged.
also ur enemy was stupid to try to fight a gang with 3 gaurdians are u kidding me.... talk about a lost cause

Edit: but ur right ecm would have been a problem even with ur eccm mods doesnt make u unjammable just harder to get jammed

If they don't want to fight we win :), it's all about bubbling the enemy, catching straglers, suprising them, etc

and its all about learning to speak/write...i mean engliSCH

Who cares about written language, or even spoken language... You know what what's said, that's all you need to know...
