Missions & Complexes

I've substituted the osprey addiction for a Nightmare addiction.

Join the chat 'Incursion Public' the MOTD has a fairly comprehensive list of active groups and the times they run.

"IIC Pub" (not "IIC Public") is active from DT to ~24.00

And we fly what we can until we get numbers to fly what we want :) (VGs atm, aspiring to do assaults and beyond)

Thanks Goldiee, but TVP and warp to me are not 24/7.. they may wan to be.. but for the last 2 days I have been chatting in their pubs and they have no fleets till after dt

Bump for a very informational thread. Can we get this sticky?

Would command ships be of any use to an incursion fleet?

Some command ships work remarkably well, and all of them are easy to tank in either armor or shield if one looks at resist profile, signature and actual buffer in a realistic manner. They will never (without massively gimping the rest of the ship) meet WTM's 100k EHP rule.

Now, they're also always going to be lower range or lower damage than an equivalent shiny battleship , but partially make up for it in VGs with better tracking and better application to frigates and cruisers. It is still a rare moment (t1 gun standard apoc vs max'd skill t2 gun damnation for a shield fleet) that an FC will request the CS over a BS or even the right ABCs.

Hi, is it possible to run VG's with 5 players or it shoul be avoided?

To throw my 2 cents here...

TIG has done fleets before with short list of members (we would send in less pilots and bring random alts in frigates to scoop excess reward and then split at the end from alts, you can easily go to 150-160 mill per hour per real person that way).

What we found out is with Marauders, 5 is enough if they are local tank, easy, manageable, not great, but not to hard.
Same goes for pirate ships, 5 dps isn't to bad, would need one vindie at least, but you need to account for logies.

So we did with 7 on grid, 5 dps - 2 logie. Anything less then that could complete sites, but we always ran with redundancy and we figured if somebody DC'es, we wanted to have backups. With 7 on grid it meant we had 1 vindie and 4 ships with remote reps. In case we lose a logie, remaining 4 battleships can rep the existing logie while he reps the fleet. It really doesn't work well without vindie unless you put web on every ship and focus, but takes to long, we used tripple web vindie to do webbing while rest shot and was ready to keep fleet alive in case logie drops.

If you do 5 only, you could run in some issues, even if you take one logie to rep everybody and everybody to rep the logie, it would take lots of concentrations, and errors or occasional DC's could easily be fatal

Same here, been thinking to tackle it with 3-4 marauders this weekend to see what's it about if I get time and get a hold of few of my regular fleet members
