I see most fits for Incursion Legion fleets have ABs. Is this just for moving around and avoiding taking unnecessary damage, or do they serve a different purpose here? I'm mainly used to flying a Nightmare in Incursion, and with that ship I don't need an AB for anything. Range is fine. With the Legion, I have added optimal range rigs, and the range is not an issue.

So why should I fit an AB? My current fit does not have an AB, but a 1600mm plate and good resists. I can fit an AB, but it would require a powergrid implant..., but why should I?

Speed tanking in T3s is quite effective. Just orbit the anchor at 5-10km and it'll mitigate a lot of damage. And a 1600mm on a cruiser? More resists are typically better, since it doesn't slow you down.

Don't need an afterburner for any sites in a Legion, as you pretty much just sit where you land and start shooting. Better to have 1x SeBo, 2x TC, and 1x faction web. The only time I ever fit an afterburner is if I'm going after the Mara in mining colony sites, and I don't do that very often any more.

95% of Legion fits I see have a 1600mm plate. I removed the plate from mine as soon as I got Slave implants. Now my Legion's tank consists of two armor hardeners and one T2 resist rig. The rest of the lows and rigs are damage-adders or stuff to improve lock time when competing for sites.

Unless u are voted as an ore dropper in mining sites (which is logi's work anyway), there is rly not a reason to put AB on. If u have fit with 1600mm plates u should have around 130k EHP with decent boost.
U rly dont need to speed tank with that amount of EHP.
What u rly want to put into mid-slots is 2x shadow serpentis tracking computers, true sansha web and one more web or sebo.

I doubt a 1600 plate will give you 130k EHP on 3 heat sinks legion but with it's tiny signature even 60k is good enough without having to move at all.

Usually most BS's have 90-110 k EHP in armor and 60-90k ehp in shield fleets.

AB is a bad idea , you have scorch , you don't need to move - 2 -3 TC, web, sebo.

Just as I though. Scrapping the AB. Already have slave implants....so I think I'm good there. Sebos, web and tracking is what I have too.
