Gecko x1
Gecko x1

You can only use 1 gecko at a time, but that means you can assist up to 50 skiffs to one pilot.

Toss in vulture links, your choice of triggership (I prefer vulture meself, but u can swap around), tackle, + logi and you've got yourself a slightly lowish dps pvp fleet packing almost as much EHP as most t3s.

272dps
133k EHP before heat, with links.

You can use Heavies to up your dps to 351 dps with hammer IIs, but you run into assisting issues one you pass one squad of skiffs.
