Having flown with WTM, it's not so much that they demand a deadspace EM shield amp, it's that they don't want an active EM hardener that'll crap out if you get hit by neuts and leave you with a wide-open EM resistance hole, and with lower compensation skills, it takes a deadspace amp to get you to 70%. I was accepted into my first WTM fleet with a TeFI with a Guristas EM amp (thanks to decent compensation skills) and nothing else over T2.

For incursions, J isn't a member of the fleet, but rather a special target tag indicating "DO NOT SHOOT THIS". Generally, the target-tagger will put the J tag on whichever ship serves as the trigger for the next wave. If the trigger goes off prematurely, someone in the site is probably going to have an ... interesting time.
(As in: "I don't suppose any of the logibros brought hull rep drones?")

(As in: "I don't suppose any of the logibros brought hull rep drones?") From what I hear J used to be Jammer targets, and some old guides still list widow fits to jam out specific targets, which were tagged J to avoid fleet wasting DPS on them until later. This was changed as about once a week, a widow would pop and be worth almost as much as the widow pilot had made, as jammers, like scrams/points, rip massive aggro.
Wait, a Widow, not a T1 Scorpion? o.O

Undoubtedly they'd be useful as off-grid boosters, but I suspect they wouldn't be optimal as on-grid damage-dealers. A fleet with open slots might take a CS if it met their criteria (the worry would be about defense, I suspect), but given a choice between a CS and a battleship, an incursion FC is probably going to prefer the battleship.

One thing I'll note is that with Hyperion, a lot of headquarters fleet battleships became much less cap-hungry with the buff to 100MN microwarpdrives. Probably the only battleship not to get a significant buff in this regard was the Nightmare, which is okay because it got that heavy-duty AB buff from Crius.
