Hello,
Ive ran incursions once in a tengu and I sucked. My heavy missiles were hitting late and after the target was destroyed.
I can now field a Mach, do 1042 damage, and fall off extends to 61km. Im almost to t2 turrets, in a week. I have **** as shield skills on this character (note its not the same toon as the tengu pilot) If I can field a mach with 27k shields and above 50% shield resist across the board, Is it incursion worthy. I know there are always logistics ships in incursion sights, so as long as i have a buffer and decent resist should i put it out there.

Yes, I complain about things I don't like.

50% resist sounds low, you need higher resists to make it easier for logi pilots to keep you up once they start shield transfereing to you. You buffer if more to give them time to start shiled transfereing yo you.
You should aim for at least 70% resistance..... Once you have you dont need a very big shield.

You can start from this fit http://incursions.nexsoft.de/?mode=fit&id=202 and modifiy it toward you skill and how you want to pimo it. Linked mach have 70/ resist, 15K raw sheild HP. EHP is 106K, and shield contribute to 50K of that.

Good Luck in incursion

does anyone use armor logi in incursions?

I can do guardian and scimi but I like armor so much more.

ive done plenty of pvp but never incursions so i dont really know anything about them

do people just break up on lines of DPS/tank/logi? or are people expected to mix DPS/tank?

Yes, armor is flown quite often. And people need to have a mix of DPS and tank in order for the logi's to be able to keep them alive.

As far as the OP, how are your armor skills? you can armor tank a mach just fine as well. Yea, you sacrifice some tank but well hell, I'm bias towards armor.

Yeppers, both Guardian and Oneiros are used in most incursion armor fleets. The standard mix is seven deeps ships, two Guardians, and one Oneiros. However, I have seen fleets with three rep-ships of the same type plus seven deeps ships, or even two rep-ships of the same type and eight deeps ships. Some FCs prefer to go into sites "one heavy" for vanguards -- meaning a total of eleven ships on grid. This penalizes the rewards for each site, but sites get done quicker so everybody ends up with more ISK overall.

And yes, all ships in an incursion fleet need a decent tank. That means a good buffer and 70% or better omni resists. The Sansha ships switch targets fairly often, so separating tank from deeps doesn't work.

When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me. - -

Until then, I'll just sit quietly over here, minding my own business...
