LOL, I was only skimming this thread so I don't know if anyone addressed this yet (Ammzi probably did), but...
Are you serious?
So, what you're saying is, instead of focusing on killing the Sansha or keeping our fleet's ships alive, we should all be hovering in BTL Pub waiting for you to x up so we can say "sorry bro"?
You're not being ignored (that would be Youth who gets everyone to block him, lulz), you just need to understand that most FCs are going to have BTL Pub minimized or even closed until they have a need for new ships.
Get out of this mentality of needing to be babied every step of the way.
Bring a T1 battleship, yes, it's probably going to be passed over for all the Sleipnirs/Machariels/Nightmares/Vindicators out there.
Bring a Drake or Raven*? Yes, you're going to get laughed at.
Get butthurt about it and yeah, people are probably going to start ignoring or blocking you.
However if you can take constructive criticism or even just say "can someone convo me, I'm new at this" and more likely than not one of the experienced Incursions runners such as Ammzi or myself might just take 5 minutes to lay it all out for you.
There are also plenty of websites out there for you to glean information from.
This is not different from any other part of Eve Online - individual research and a non-butthurt attitude will get you a lot farther than expecting everyone to just cater to you.
More on butthurtery: Incursions aren't L4 missions. Get that idea out of your head now. Yes, to be competitive for Vanguard invites you will need certain ships which (after MUCH experimentation by the brightest minds in the business) have been determined to be optimal for incursions - Loki or Bhaalgorn for webbing duty (1 per 10 or 11-man fleet), Basilisk or Scimitar for logi reps (recommended 3 logis per fleet), and Sleipnir/Vindi/Nightmare/Mach for dps - not necessarily in that order of priority.
If you don't have much SP in ship flying/turret skills the easiest ships to break into incursions with is probably Logi.
A lot of people fly that while they're training for that shiny Nightmare.
tl;dr - don't cry, adapt
* Ravens actually make OK snipers for Assaults and Headquarters but if you try to bring one to a Vanguard you deserve the ridicule |
