How we got off to a good start:
- We practiced on SISI until Vanguard sites were on snooze and cruise mode for us. We even experimented and have progress into Assault sites.
- We take our methods and tactics onto TQ.
- Of course on TQ you donÆt have everything you need on a whim available for 100 ISK. Our real fleet starts out less than optimal. We win we lose some, we tighten up our game ôfor realö.
- We have Vanguards on farm mode now.
Some tips:
You need a unified tanking strategy with logistic support. We are using a shield tank fleet with Basi and Scimi.
Fit ships like you are about to enter a tough fight. Any given ship must have high resists or even the logi canÆt keep you alive. Have some buffer as well, these NPC hit hard you need to hold out a few seconds for the logi to get to you. The NPC change targets so every ship must have a solid tank.
You need cap management. We typically have 3 or 4 ships with energy transfer to keep the logiÆs happy.
You are going to get jammed and neuted. Your fleet makeup must tolerate a ship falling out of the cap chain or a logi getting jammed or unable to rep because he is out of cap.
Voice comms are not-optional. Too much can happen in a short time to rely on typing.
Leadership bonuses are very nice and helpful. We are using a command ship and or T3 with links.
ECM works on these NPCÆs and we find them to be very helpful in our practice so far on assault sites.
ItÆs a good idea to practice with a crew on SISI first. More than just the ship composition you need to have your technique right. Players need to become accustom to using the watch lists, their distance to the gang, learning the NPCÆs, calling targets and hitting them, keeping an eye their own cap and tank, etc. If you are new to it or a veteran it helps to do this, get warmed up, get used to each other as a team.
We have yet to experience the complete failure of rewards mentioned in above posts. Have noticed many instances of random pilots entering our sites to loot either their losses or wrecks of other players who died there. HavenÆt seen these affect our reward yet. Not saying it couldnÆt happen and in fact donÆt rule it out.
Contrary to some opinions expressed here, we are enjoying Incursions and receiving rewards.
