I'm a 5yr old noob when it comes to incursions, never run one and don't really know much about them.

But it's about time I put one of my alts to work, she can fly any logistics, do both armor and shield, and if push comes to shove, can fly fleet command ships.

What ships are most useful? she's not really a dps character at the moment so they're out of the question.

How do you find the fleets, is it just a case of looking at the map and finding an incursion site or are there general chat channels for them? I know that a channel opens up when you're in an area with an incursion.


I don't want her to have to join an incursion running corp since she's still useful to me for researching and the occasional mining bonus.


Apologies for the noobiness already Blink

To get into an incursion fleet as non-DPS, you'll be in a Logi, probably either a Basi or Guardian (Scimis work well too if you have Logi 5).

Join "BTL Pub" (shield) and "The Ditanian Fleet" (armor). X up with your shiptype and incursion, hopefully you get an instant invite.

is the most common Basi fit, it will get you into any fleet in BTL pub.
shield transporters can be meta 4 if you cant fit T2, shield extender can be T2.
if you want to you can replace the AB with a ReSeBo.

Scimitar fitting follows the same essential philosophy, just no cap transfers, and often fits the resobo.
