So my corp was wardecced a few days ago.

Them: 2 or 4 guys (not sure which ones are active) in decent ships. I hear they may have nanoships, and probably BC/BS with plenty of skill points.
Basically bored dudes looking to pew-pew.

Us: About 30ish members. Mostly missioners and miners until we get our space legs and try more ambitious stuff. Lots of miner noobz.

Now, I have zero problems with fitting out a cruiser for PvP and blasting these guys when they start zapping our guys, but what kind of tactic can we take? Most of the corp members are green and want to wait till it all blows over. Can a core of 5 or 6 (maybe more) stand up to old neckbeards and have a chance at gankage?

If they are nanoed they basically get to dictate when they are going to fight. One of the few counters to this is a huginn/rapier (minny recon).

A nanoed ishtar, vagabond, sleipnir will pick apart twice as many enemies without loses (if the guys are skilled). I guess try to get me ship types and I can give you a better guesstimate of what sort of chance you stand, or tactics that could work.

Rat: Tell them you are going to bring out the heavy hitters, camp their one member who stays logged in at a station with 5 BS's. Then your best move is to pay them.

Tell them that all your heavy hitters play in A's over 8's

You could probably hire Bat Country after they're done with the current set of heavy hitters. :)

Yargh. I looked up some of their ships on killboards, and these guys definitley outclass me. I think we're gonna be pussies and lay low until they get tired of paying to not shoot us.  swamp poop

Bring ECM if you outnumber them to neutralize their dps.

Get everyone to jump onto Sisi (the test server) and run a frigate tournament, or set up a POS and see what 0.0 is like, or join in the fun in Syndicate, or a bunch of other stuff that is easy and fun in 100-isk-for-a-battleship arcade mode.
