Alright so I have been out of game for awhile and was wondering what is the best ship/fleet comp for running vanguards these days shield and armor? Listed below is the ship I use to fly for armor NCO blitz our record was 230 mil an hour in this set up just wondering if this is all still viable? not sure what has changed if anything?

my ship

Legion with max skills...... HG slave Implants with + 6 damage implants and akemons 8%

low slots

. 3x faction heat sinks
. 1600 plate
. A-Type ANP x2

Mid slots

. T2 Tracking comp x2
. SEBO
. AB

High slots

. T2 pulse x6

Rigs were 3 T2 trimarks

Typically the types of fleets we would run were 8 of these with 3 lvl 5 logi. 2 guards and 1 oni guards would have remote sebo and remote tracking link in the mids oni would have 2 R SEBO in the mids and 3 RTL and be powered by the guards. sometimes we would swap 2 legions for 2 vindis recieving all the links which seemed to be the fastest.

For shield I would fly a mach standard T2/Faction fit. From what I remember we did the OTA's since we couldnt compete with the legion fleets in NCO's

Just wondering if these are basically still sure bets for ships in vanguards and also if anything has changed in vanguards? Spawns, ect.

Legion fleet still own NCOs, though the typical fits changed slightly for the mids & rigs. Typical nowadays are 1 Sebo, 2 TC, 1 Web or 3TC, 1 Web. Rigs are usually 2x T2 Locus (for the 15-20km Conflag range), you'd rarely see T2 Burst/Coll anymore.

As for logis, Onis are preferred and many armor blitz fleet run with just 2 Onis (stable 4TLs is possible after the recent Oni buff). Some new tactics I've seen in mixed fleets are split dps, short range boats (like an Abso, Loki, Prot etc.) splitting off to specialize in killing close orbit Eysturs.

Most of the old stuffs several months back are still applicable. CCP haven't (yet) changed anything.

Evening

If you are running HG Slaves, You will not need that 1600, Put a tracking enhancer or a 4th heat sink for a extra 75 Dps, This NCO Blitz is only achievable if you get a pure wall of NCO's which is a rare thing some days.

Myself i help run a shield community, ISN - Incursion Shiny Network, We do 160 mill per hour consistently with no-one leaving fleet etc, Fittings have changed, Just try to get up to speed, Every community is trying there hardest to drop some more tank for more gank.

In my personal opinion, I would do shield, Instead of getting ripped apart in NMC's and waiting for NCO's to spawn.

Its your personal preference, If you want to try shield, Drop by "ISN Secondary" - Public channel
