Hey guys I'm flying incursions in a blaster megathron. Thinking of upgrading my ship. Thinking about a Nightmare.

But I'm really far away from T2 Laser guns, so is it even worth flying a Nightmare with meta 4s, or would that be really bad ?

If you can affored it alot of people just use Navy Tachs do to lower cap cost. That way all you have to do is just level V Large Lazers.

Edit: And dont forget Amarr/Caldir BS

Is it a rock point a lazer at it and profit. Is it a ship point a lazer at it and profit. I dont see any problems here.

Why not just upgrade to a Vindicator? Highly popular ship, and if you are already using T2 blasters you are pretty set.

Oh I heard bad things about Vindies while doing Incursions, so figured it wasn't a really wanted ship (bad tank, newb pilots, etc)

Oh yea, and can't use T2 Large Hybrids.

Bad things about Vindis? Was using one on and off for Incursions up until RL took over, and had real fun flying it. And it was even better for my alt that can use T2 hybrids while i have to use Navys. Tank ( armor tanked it ) is good, DPS is good so what bad things have you heard?

Since the nightmare only uses 4 turrets it's relatively cheap to put faction lasers on it.
So until you get t2 large lasers I highly recommend you get the faction ones temporarily.
However do not be mistaken, t2 are better than their faction counterpart.

Without t2 guns you cant use scorch. And scorch is the thing, that makes nightmare best ship for ota /around 850 dps at 65+20/.

Its still much better ship than mega for incursions. But t1/faction guns indicate low sp pilot, so be prepared that fcs will take even less pimped ship with t2 guns into fleet.

I used to use a vindi to "solo" vanguards. They are amazing ships. They also perform much better than NMs if you don't have access to t2 guns for either.
