Winning Wing Combinations!

So, now that we have been told that there will be 4 ships per wing, I was curious as to what the Commanders in here would consider the most dangerous and/or effective combination of ships? EDIT: With the ships we have and how they are balanced now..

For example ..my 2 cents


Combat

Anaconda - Sheer firepower
Asp - 6 hardpoints but still agile
Cobra - Good all rounder to have
Viper - To take care of faster ships/protect the Anaconda

Trading/Escorts

T9 - Cargo Transporter
T9 - Cargo Transporter
Anaconda - Muscle
Cobra - Good All rounder for attack and defence scenarios

Also theres Exploring and mining but Ive to get back to work now ;P

Until the Fer-De-Lance and Corvette are out, we'll not really know on the Combat side. Also ships will most likely have to get rebalanced.

But I'd suggest that with the Corvette, at least having 3 ships < Cobra size as support is probably a good bet.
 
Er.. 4 anaconda?

It's all well and good trying to be nimble and hide behind one anaconda, but that's not going to do you any good with three others. If the 4 anaconda just focus on fighting each enemy ship one by one the battle won't last long.
 
Bounty Hunting / Rescue Squad - On the look out for pirates on the prowl and traders being interdicted:
Tackle - Asp w/ upgraded shield/armor and shield cells, chaff, PDT, etc & Interdictor
Scoop - Sometimes pirates drop loot - Cobra w/ Max Cargo
BEES! - 2x Viper/Eagle with at least 1 torpedo each for dicey situations
 
2 anacondas full energy weapons, mostly forward focus, rear on turrets for the scratch dmg
2 vipers/cobras with 4x multi-cannons or railguns

conda's rip the shields in maybe 2-5 seconds from smallest to largest ships, vipers/cobras tear them up before they even get close to new shields.
