In looking at running incursions to find my other activities, but the only toon I have available is strictly amarr.

Is there an amarr ship that is readily accepted into incursions?

Maybe the apoc or nightmare? Maybe even the legion?

The nightmare (while not strictly just Amarr) is your best option. they are one of the three main dps ships used in shield incursion fleets (along with mach and vindi).

The Navy Geddon is sometimes used but in a good fleet like TVP or ISN, you will find it way more difficult to get in to fleet in a navy geddon than you would in a nightmare.

Tip: If you go nightmare, you will also need T2 tachs.

The t2 guns are no problem, but I guess the next question is how to fit it. Dies it need to be bling with faction mods or would t2 suffice?

T2 tachs are not necessary at all.

Faction tachs give you just 3% less dps, at a huge 30% less cap use, and are viable cost-wise as you only need four.

Many people consider faction tachs the superior option for the nightmare, even if you have T2's unlocked.

Gleam can be quite useful.

So how do I go about joining a group for incursions? Is there a particular channel I should hang out in? I expect there are shield and armor fleets.

I'm Gmt timezone so 19.00 - 00.00 ideally.

Here is a link on one of the other forum section: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=206859&find=unread

There are also armor incursion fleets. They love amarr ships.

If you're short on isk and set on shields, the navy battleships aren't strictly terrible either. They aren't ideal, but they function.

Otherwise, definitely nightmare.

For armor, try The Ditanian Fleet channel ... You can get some help there for respectable Amarr ship fits....

They never did need logi, but they used them for the tracking links. Nowadays people just have the habit of wasting 3-4 more low slots on active tank instead of using the utility high slots for RR and go with the classic 1 EANM, 4 heat sinks 2 TE armor tank fitting. Ugh

It is 5% if you have the spec skill at 5, if you run a lot of VGs you also want Gleam and depending on the fleet concept(static/mwd/slow boat) you might need Aurora in Assaults and HQ.

As for Amarr ships in Incursion, armor fleets use a lot of them(navy Apoc, Pala, Legion, Abaddon, gank fitted navy Geddon) for static or slow boat fleets, for shields it is mostly NM or shield fitted Apoc/navy Apoc as a steeping stone into the Nightmare.

HE is probably talking about VG . On a VG site a paladin can tank the whole room no problem.
