Hello all,

I have been flying incursions for about a month and I have been enjoying it. Right now I have been flying in a Vindicator and I do enjoy it. I would like to get my hands on a Nightmare and also a Guardian. My question is, do many people who fly in Incursions have multiple ships? Do they pick one that day and fly to the incursion site their group is in and perform there?

I would hate to utilize all that isk into buying and fitting multiple ships just to have them all site in various hangers because my guardian is 30 jumps away from the site and my nightmare is only 5, yet the group needs my guardian. SO MUCH FLYING!.

Any thoughts and tips would be helpful.

Thanks again,

Fly Safe!

I believe, not being an incursion runner myself, that most runners use ships like orcas or bowheads to transport their most commonly used hulls to the incursion sites. Certainly would take less time than flying each hull individually.

Some haul multiple ships, others watch for what is needed in communities and bring that. Generally I only take 1 ship but that's mostly because I only run 1 day per week or so, just to chill. But yeah bowhead or alts, have a dps and a logi ship to be safe.

100 mil logi is only ship you will ever need.

that is not to say you cant or should not haul multiple ships use orca for logis/command ships small frigs..... bowhead for battleships or any combo of those.

100 mill for an incursion ship?? Of any kind? I was under another impression...

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Most Logi fits are around 200. Given the Logi hull itself is somewhere around 130 Mil before fitting.
You are looking at a similar 200 Mil for a starting T1 BS fitted appropriately for Incursions as well.

If you are going to use a Bowhead or Orca, strip the modules off your ships in the hold, and use a Blockage runner to transport them staying cloaked the whole way, so only the hulls themselves drop when someone ganks your Orca/Bowhead.
Above all do not have any valuable modules visible in the Bowhead/Orca hold.

Alternatively just several trips and travel fit for EHP/Agility/Stabs to get them through the gank points.
