What kind of ships are used for incursions?

I did them a long while ago and it was logi, pirate battleships, and a few sniper battleships (160km range-ish). Are those still standard or had tiericide changed things?

Any use for on grid command ships?

What are the breakpoints I should be hitting to be effective (dps @range, ehp/resists)?

Depends on the site for range, but pirate BS are still typically the most preferred DPS ships.

Required DPS, resists and what not really vary from fleet to fleet. Some fleets are very new player friendly so they typically have lower DPS but may be some over tanking. Some of the shinier fleets will be very picky and only take pirate BS with some bling.

Cant go wrong with logi... throw on a faction AB or something to show "bling" and you get scooped up pretty quick.....

Cheeper that a faction BS, no ammo worries, and fast to get around too.

I found Scimi to be best (no worries from needing a cap buddy) but basi is better (4 large t2 shield transporters and 50k ehp cant be sniffed at)

Are snipers a thing in incursions, or are they only useful in HQ incursions?

I remember there was a big deal about having enough rokh's/navy apocs to reach out to 150ish km, but I don't know if that was generally useful or specific to HQ's.

When playing in eft I have been using that as a mark to hit, but if it's not needed it would make fitting much easier.

Snipers are still needed in HQs. Tachyon nightmare is a classic and always wanted in any fleet.

Incursion fc love vindi.

Pick a group (TVP, WTM), they have their fits on their websites. Don't reinvent the wheel.

I'd suggest a Vindi as well.

Thing puts out 2000+ DPS in addition to webs. Not enough Vindi's going' round as of late. Sniper Macharials are way too over saturated right now. Too many lazy people looking to shoot every 15 seconds. They're like confetti on the fourth of ******* July in ISN and/or Valhalla. I talked to a handful of FC's before I decided on what pirate BS to fly, they mostly said it matters more on who x up's quicker and who has a better fit. However, if I were you, I'd just skill into a Vindi so you don't risk sitting in limbo while everyone is printing ISK.
