Some points I dug right down on included the info about cruiser-only fleets comprised of just Caldari Caracals:
Apparently these fleets can kill just about anything with their alpha strike. Think: 50 ships firing 5 heavy missiles each. That's 250 bits-o-badness coming your way before you even gave them your phone number.
I was also pleasantly surprised to hear that certain pilots are distinguishing themselves as FC's (fleet commanders) even in the factional warfare. How interesting is it that the Amarrians lost their best FC's and now are reduced to small roving bands.
Finally the fact that many of these tactics are developed with the specific intention of costing the enemy more than you lose in the process of exacting your toll. The all-cruiser fleets are an example of this. At something like 5 million isk each, you can equip and entire fleet for less than 2 or 3 hundred million. Not bad at all so long as you play your cards well enough to take out a few of your enemies battleships.
