You've been assigned FC and been told you can take up to 20 pilots and whatever sub-cap ships you want. The cost of the ships has to be under 1 billion isk (based on approx empire space prices).
You are preparing for a conflict with another FC with the same restriction and you will be confined to a single system starting at a random point in the system.
How would pick the ships? |

Well, 20 Armageddons in an RR setup would fit. That would be a strong showing. |

get as many guardians as you can then fill the rest with plated thoraxes. lest say you get 9 guardians, they can beat that with 1bill.
or something like 15 kitsunes and 5 keres or inites (taranis). spend whats left getting intell on the other fleet and fit jammers accordingly |

The main problem is the 20 pilots...
3 black birds [ roughly 20 mill?]
4 RR BSs [Megas? Apocs? 800 mill?]
[7 people 820 mill]
4 Executors [50 km armor rep is ur friend 30 mill]
[11 people 850 mill]
150 mill left... 9 ships
5 caracals "sniper and sensor damps" [50 mill?]
[16 people 900 mill]
4 people 100 mill left
1 myrm [unrigged but some RR and drone pew 50 mill]
3 people 50 mill left
meh 3 plated thoraxes

1bill isn't all that if you have to divide it by 20. I would go light&fast myself.
- +10 interceptors of which at least half is 28.8km tacklers. In case you run into some nasty stuff like heavy neuts.
- 5 bombers where all are T2 torp fitted. Sometimes you need that extra range and with +80km you'll have a good chance to break off in case someone's intercepting you. Might even drop the mandatory target painter for a sensor disruptor (range scripted) in case a sniper decides to open up on you.
- Recons for the rest. A couple of Falcons are lifesavers.
15-20 man gangs in mainly frig hulls are nasty. You can completely dictate your battlezone and with the recent bomber buff you got plenty of dps to take down just about anything, as long as the bomber pilots know what they're doing. With ceptors scrambling/webbing those torps will hit like freighttrains. If the enemy get reinforcements you just disengage and gtfo.
Cheap and very potent as long as you don't attack a similar sized HAC gang head-on. If you decide to engage use hit&run tactics. |

Well is it 1 bil initial cost or 1 bil after insurance? If the latter, 50 mil per person is more than enough to pay for 20 RR BS. If the former, any combination of T2 frigs. Or a fleet with a few recons and the rest SBs. |

lol 15 interceptors and 5 stealth bombers :p Never underestimate the power of a fleet like this :p This would be peticularly effective if you know the other FC likes bigger ships. On a side note, I would really like to see a fleet of 20+ rooks one day.. Especially now that they can use drones  |

How? Well I would first whine that I had been pciked in the first place, whine that I was being set up to fail, whine at only 1 bil isk, cry on the channels for volunteers, spin a bottle, ask Evil Synns for advice, promptly disregard advice  , fit 20 assault frigs, cry myself to sleep. |

How about 12-15 lachesis/huginns (they're cheap!) and 5 T2 frigs of choice (inties preferably)? Frigs do the initial tackle while the recons stay out of range by using damps and webs. Sure, damps suck, but not when 10 people are using them.
You're essentially immune to ECM due to high base sensor strength (only a few will get jammed and many cycles will be missed), anything frig or cruiser sized will die in seconds, BC and BS sized ships will get damped well below point/web range.
Of course this would be better with Arazus and Rapiers, but those are far more expensive. |

20 Arbitrators, all launching large ECM drones and carrying ECMs in the mids. 2x medium remote reps in the highs, 2x lasers. If you do manage to get a target, good luck doing enough damage to overwhelm the remote reppers. But you ask, how am I blowing 50m ISK on each cruiser? Rigs, baby. Either CCC or Trimark armor.  |

Judging by the OP, I'd guess this would be a pre-planed brawl, so ships just for tackle would be a waste. You would want as much gank as possible and fleet members that understood what a primary is. I'd then split the gang into two groups.. Each with their own primaries and the FC would be out of range in a command ship with with gang links. |

Oh yeah. I completely forgot about the terms established in the contents of the OP when I made my second post in this thread. Given that, I would go with RedSplat's suggestion. |
