'Ello.
For about two weeks I've been evolving a fit for an Incursus frigate intended for solo PvP. The final result was a gunship with high DPS, the outcome of Project XOF. Here is the deal:

HIGH SLOTS:

3x Light Ion Blaster II (Charge - Void S)

MEDIUM SLOTS:

x1 Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
x1 Small Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I (Charge - Cap Booster 75)
x1 1MN Afterburner II

LOW SLOTS:

x1 Damage Control II
x2 Small Armor Repairer II
x1 Magnetic Field Stabilizer

RIG SLOTS:

x1 Small Anti-Explosive Pump I
x1 Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I
x1 Small Hybrid Collision Accelerator I

STATS:

DPS: 200 (Volley - 387)
Shield HP: 788
Armor HP: 1090
Structure HP: 1560
Armor Repair rate: 125.2 HP / s
CPU: 93% used
Power Grid: 91.5% used
Total worth in ISK: 10.9 million

WARNING! Under no circumstance should you pick a fight with a kitey ship! This fit NEEDS a cap booster to keep running, and the afterburner may help you catch up with the kite. Most kites use MWDs, so the Epsilon scrambler will shut those down.

Why no armor? This is a gunship fit. Please feel free to replace the Mag Stab with Armor plating should you wish to (warning, 200mm plating or higher will surpass power grid).

How do you feel about the fit? Please judge below! Your opinion MATTERS!

Glad to hear that you like it. But why should I change the SAR II to a SAAR?

i disagree with changing to SAAR the ting gives great reps while it has paste but crappy reps when it runs out i prefer more consistent reps.

you also have to remember to turn auto relaod off everytime u fit a new ship

Thanks for mentioning, luckily I always have Null S in my hold :D

A SAAR outputs 2x the rep of a SAR II - so if you die either:

A) During the reload
or
B) When the repper is out of paste

Then you would've died with a regular 2x SARII setup anyway. Plus frigate fights are front-loaded in terms of damage unless its 2 stupidly over-tanked frigs.

Hmmm, I know iv seen this fit before, I wonder where....

lol, dude, keep the fit as is , its fine, go kill stuff ,its a proven fit that's capable of surprising things.
the only advice ill give is get a set of Halo implants (mid-grade if you can).
and 400's are hudge 150's are more than enough.

Great kill - well done. I am DEFINITELY going to try and bait a battleship mission runner tonight.

Generally speaking the dual rep Incursus is a good ship, but definitely not in lowsec FW PvP. Most frig brawlers in lowsec FW will have ab+scram+web and will either just hold your dual rep Incursus out of its blaster range (8km where even null does minimal damage) and chip away is tank till you run out of boosters or just burn out of your scram range and warp away if they're losing. The only good fights you'll get are against noobs who don't know any better, and other scram no web ships like other dual rep Incursus (which will take ages and is incredibly boring).

Personally I would recommend a rail fit scram kite Incursus. It's still technically a 'brawler' since it operates in scram range and you should still avoid long point kiters like the Condor/Slicer/Garmurs etc. but it does wonders against other short range brawlers and even against other scram kiters you have more range control so you can disengage if things start going south. This is the fit I've flown ALOT and is easily my favourite Incursus fit:

[Incursus, Rails]

Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
Small Ancillary Armor Repairer, Nanite Repair Paste
Overdrive Injector System II

1MN Afterburner II
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator

150mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
150mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
150mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S

Small Processor Overclocking Unit I
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I


Hobgoblin II x1

The general idea is to keep at range at 8km against most enemy ships while avoiding their damage and doing full damage with your rails (or if against lasers/ac force them to use scorch/barrage for less dps), if you do happen to get caught by a long point kiter you can load spike and attempt to chase them off so you're not completely helpless which is a nice plus. Popular webless ships like the dual rep Incursus and the triple neut tristan die hilariously to this fit. Here are some good kills I've gotten in this ship that you couldn't achieve in a dual rep fit:

http://egk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=23729519 - Enyo
http://egk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=23743037 - Dual web arty firetail
http://egk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=24314013 - Brawl comet
http://egk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=24894402 - dual prop dramiel

As well as things like armor AC thrashers or catalysts that have enough dps to punch through dual rep incursus reps or triple neut tristans that will completely neutralize your tank. This also doesn't include the many times I've taken a fight and bugged out when I was in structure (mostly against rocket boats which is a weakness of this ship since you can't avoid their damage). Give Rail Incursus a try and you'll never look back to dual rep Incursus for solo PvP.

Yikes.

Dual rep Incursus aren't great IMO, basically capable killing baddies and not much else, I flew this set up to great effect, an excellent scram kiter and easy to fly;

[Incursus, 125 rail plate]
F85 Peripheral Damage System I
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Small Ancillary Armor Repairer, Nanite Repair Paste
200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I

1MN Afterburner II
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator

125mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
125mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
125mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S

Small Hybrid Burst Aerator I
Small Hybrid Locus Coordinator I
Small Anti-Explosive Pump I

Acolyte II x1

Pretty simple, hang around at like 8K for most fights, tanks nicely and puts out decent ranged DPS, Explo rig might by worth dropping for something else now that Warrior IIs aren't so prolific, obviously you can spend more isk on better tackle/DCU.
