Wingman Ships

[biancc13]

What ships and load outs are everyone using for wing man/escort duty? Looking for suggestions in the M4-M3+ range. Right now I'm using Solanos with phased repeater guns and they are working out great. Just wondering if any one else had any better ideas. Thanks

I would like to throw this out as well; is there any way to resupply an entire wing at once? Say I had a set of 4 JD equipped ships, with no fuel, and a ts sitting around in system. Can i give a command to either the ts or the wing to resupply, and not have to do it for each ship in the wing?

If you set up the ships' autojump settings you can simply order them all to dock at a power plant (or other energy cell-stocking station) and they will fill their cargo bays to the specified amount. If they already have jump drives it shouldn't be much of a problem getting them around.

I have yet to acquire a sizeable AI-piloted task force, but I've been looking at setting up a squadron of four M4+'s (OTAS Solanos) with PRG's docked at a Zephyrus for interceptor duty. Elites would also serve this role well, or you can use Asps with PBE's.
