I want to get into armour incursions and have been told they're good for isk. The skills will take 1-2 days to train and I'm using amaar ships. I just want some tips on how to do them and other stuff

Most of the major incursion community will expect you to fly a T2 or faction-fit battleship. T1 battleship accepted, pirate preferred.

Have a read through the first page or two of this thread, should answer most of your questions and give you a list of the major communities: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=206859

p.s. Incursions are not solo actvities

No offense. But you clearly have little knowledge about Incursions.

You are on the young side for Incursions.

Most fleets require you to fly either:

* T2 cruisers
* Battleship (T2 / faction fitted) / Faction battleship

And then also, not bare minimum skilled becuase of how Incursions work (the quicker they run sites, the better the entire fleet's income).



Then the whole issue, that it is clearly a fleet activity. Trying to do it solo will end in 1 result...a shiny explosion of the spaceship kind in the location of your previous nice ship.

I got invited to an incursion that accepts new players in T1 battleships and I'm training them right now. I got a list of pre=requsite skills and will have them in about 3 days time

o.0 mind if I ask who this is with?
Reason for asking is I hadn't heard of an incursion group willing to do this with newbros, as far as I was aware they were all elitist about it.
would be nice to have that notion changed.

In that case, how is you listen to the FC and you follow his instructions. Make sure, when you get in fleet, to let the FC know that it will be your first time doing incursions, so that he knows there's someone who needs a little extra attention.

Warp To Me and The Valhalla Project are both noob friendly, although I do believe one is more noob friendly than the other but I'm not sure. ISN are the ones everyone thinks are elitist bastards, I think.

The top-tier fleets may have elitist tendencies, but WarpToMe and others do make a point of taking in incursion neophytes. There are lower-skill fittings for people who are still in the process of training, and there are some fits based on T1 battleship hulls; you'll need to be able to fit T2 tank modules, though, and your performance won't be up to par without T2 guns.

Be aware that some fleets practically use stopwatches to gauge their efficiency/effectiveness. The one time I was in a mid-to-high-end vanguard fleet working on a clock, I found it exhausting; your mileage may vary, though.
