Hello pilots,

I just got back from a long break and thought of trying out these incursions. What I couldnt find info on is some what of a outline of how I should fit my ship (DPS) for example I can fly Amarr, Mini, and Caldari all very well up to a BS size vessel. My question is, what shield tanking ship would you recommend to someone who is just starting Incursions, and do you have any tips for me.

Thanks,
Bron

I'd suggest starting here. They do a good job of both collecting fits and explaining them in the context of incursions.

Nightmare will be your goal, Abbadon while you train if need be.

All resistances 75%+, buffer fit, 100k+ehp.

You can snipe with a CNR if you find an assault group, they are usually sniper short. You can run a CNR in VG's but not everybody will let you in. Rokh is good for a sniper or DPS also. A lot of groups only like NM-Mach-Vindi-Bahl for DPS.

Also most shield groups have one dual web Loki. All non fail shield groups have a pro range bonused webber. Hugin is better but rare.

That web site linked already is pretty good. So good I just linked it in our forums.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

For what it's worth, flying Logi in incursions shouldn't be overlooked. It's not as boring as most people think (can be slightly challenging at time), requires less ISK investment while you familiarize yourself with incursions, and logis are always needed in all incursion fleets. Also, kinda nice not having to bring ammo :) And yes, I fly logi in incursions.

Maelstrom is also a very viable option.

If you want a laser boat, I really rate Geddon Navy.

As previously mentioned, the Rokh is great. I LOVE that ship!

How did you know? Am flattered.

This is why we are successful, We are not afriad to spend some isk on our tanks and dps for the extra Isk per hour.

I mean, Lets face it Ammzi, If i could tank with my "Ego", I would Solo the Manifest myself...


Proud to be a "Elitist"

That site also lists the Harbinger as a popular ship, but I never see people talking about using it here. Is it a popular ship as that's about the only ship I can fly at the moment.

It's not popular. But if they say it works, I'd take their word.

As for being overtanked, ok. I'd love to see some counterexample fits. I don't run incursions and have little interest other than academic -- and even if I did I'd be flying logistics. But I'm curious.

As for being overtanked, lot's of these ships have 3 tank mods in the mids, a DC II in low's AND 3 tank rigs. If you've got a decent fleet, for vanguards 1x DC II and 1 officer invuln in the mids + 1 resist rig is enough to get all resists at 60%+ which translates to all resists at 70%+ with an OGB.

unfortunently since that main BTL site stopped being updated, up-to-date incursion info is mostly word of mouth.

its so much easier just to spam outdated links though so the majority of people never grow out of it :(
