Hi. I'm sorta new to EVE and heard Incursions was a good place to earn ISK for PVP and other activities.

I tossed together a ship in EHQ for this and I think it'd work well:



High power
5x Medium 'Regard' Remote Capacitor Transmitter
Medium power
1x Cap Recharger II
2x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
1x EM Ward Field II
1x Experimental 10MN Afterburner I
Low power
3x Beta Reactor Control: Capacitor Power Relay I
Rig Slot
3x Medium Egress Port Maximizer I
[Osprey]

thoughts?

Survivability of T1 logi ships is pretty low. May be there are some channels that accept T1 logists, but as far as I know most incursion channels require T2 logi ships as absolute minimum for logists.

I haven't done incursion at all but I wanted to know if a ecm scorpion would be of any use? The fitting was
*snipped*

In VGs, many people swear by the pulse mare. It is the most skill intensive to fly properly, as the cap management issues are serious.

Hey Goldie

Armor Shiny Incursion was open in response to the disbanding of Born Ara Mob. Many of the old pilots and Fleet commanders joined ASI that are more for the leaner tank and higher DPS like in the old days.
Armor Shiny incursion has a public channel: ASI GÇô Pub
current ships being accepted
Navy Battleship
Pirate Faction Battleship
Oneiros (prefer Logi 5)

The MOTD in the public channel does list mail groups to obtain fitting info.
If you wish to see us here is a vid of us running a few sites. ASI First Run

We are still growing. If you are capable of flying any of the fits listed your welcome to join us when we get a fleet rolling to see how we work. Plus we are still maintaining the old rule Born-Ara Mob ran with "we will not Ban you for flying with other communities."

Last time I was doing an incursion was about 2 years ago. I fancy joining in a bit again. Now I can fly all 4 logi ships, which one should I bring with me to maximize chance of finding a fleet?

As far as necessity goes, I have always needed a faction mod of two in the lows to get the power or cap regen needed to keep a logi stable, mid slots get a T2 Invul or T2 EM ward, and of course tracking links, Faction :) (I had to put a little shiny on it). Total cost was under 300 mil, but with all the market manipulation faction tracking links have gotten to 140 mil each, up from 40mil each when I bought a dozen a year ago.

Finally I would add Pimping your implants is relatively safe for a Logi.

I will post the two logi fits I have been using for over a year in the next post.

Did my first incursions yesterday so not experienced in this regard. However when looking at fits I noticed that shield transfer implants are unnaturally cheap. A 3% one was less than 1 mil and with logi 5 it seems to be all thats needed for cap stability in non-pimp scimi with 4 links (Lv6 standard entry fit)

4x large shield transfer ii
1x invul ii 4x tracking link ii
1x dcu ii 3x cap power relay ii
T2 power and cap regen rigs
4x t2 med and 1xt2 light shield drone

Thats approx 200 mil altogether.

Now as far as i understand they ask for 6 min 30 sec cap life with everything on but with less than 1mil and giving up slot 8 one can have cap stability without faction for that logi. I was also surprised to see the price of faction tracking links. Hell scimi would be quite worth to be suicided evev with only 2 faction links. If you get one which is not moving its quite possible to alpha it for the price of one faction tracking link.

And on a final note, personally I would recommend armour drones not shield drones, the slow travel time on the drones means they never arrive in time to save anyone unless they were there in the first place, and fixing someoneGÇÖs armour in site is much better for fleet continuity than waiting for a GÇÿdock-up repairGÇÖ (If there is a repair or station in system). That's just my personal opinion, go with what your community advises.

As far as I understood the shield drones are there to be put on the second logi for the duration of the site - presumably for giving it a little more buffer when it grabs agro or if the first logi happens to get jammed. For a training fleet that sounded like a good plan to me.

This is only a good plan when you are running with a very light logi load and poor./no boosts, or terribad fleet comp. The two types of ships which jam are quite squishy and if anyone has the standard 6 gun incursion arty loki (which is has recently been dethroned as king of the DDD ball by vindi's getting ReSeBos bu thats another story....) then the frigate sized ones should be alpha'd off the grid.

Just came back from a super long hiatus (I feel like a complete noob again) and incursions sound interesting, but after reading 14 pages of this my eyes are starting to cross lol.


I gathered that my missile skills are next to useless, so I'll probably start training for guns, but I would love some direction as to which guns to shoot for and which ship to shoot for specifically.

Also, I am looking to join a relaxed, fun corp...preferably that does a mix of everything (I have a mining/industry alt)...do any of these incursion groups recruit to their corps or are they strictly just public "training" and the such?


Thanks! :)

Hate to say this but it looks like you can take your pick of turrets, looks like it will be pretty much the same for everything.

Of course the Caldari BS trained to 3 makes the choice of Nightmare seem like the best route, but the time your going to spend training Beams to 5 and Amarr BS to 4 is no small effort, It looks like it is only slightly off set of training for Projectiles and the Machariel route. Throw all that advise aside and train Blasters for a Vindi would only take you 12 days more than the nightmare to similar calibre.

So my advice? Open EveMon set a training plan for each Nightmare w/Beams, Vindicator W/Blasters and Machariel w/Artillery then sit back and decide what one looks like the most fun to you and start remapping and training.

Oh one more thing, most incursion pilots tend to make their own corp. to save on the taxes and to make the slide into another owned corp. easy when a war dec hits them. So though there are some people in the same corp doing incursions it is usually for the convenience and getting recruited by them is a long process since the one ship you can shoot without retribution is a corpmates (this makes the guys flying 10bil isk nervous) get in some fleets as soon as you have a the proper boat and it makes more sense.

is the loki used still and what teams are using them so i can join in and try some of this incursion stuff
also if someone has a a fit that would be good
thanks

Ok, couple of questions.

1) Most chanells you have provided in the intial post are not public so how to joint them?

2) Should I search for an incursion system before I try to join any fleet (and how do i find incursion systems)?

3) I can fly ALL amarr dps ships (is i.e. a shield tanked navy apocalpse a valid ship?), tengu, loki. Are those desirable in incursion fleets?

4) Are t3 logis valid (like logi-tengu)?

5) Can someone write me a version for dummies how can i start with incursions?

Thx in advance guys.

The Marauder changes are now on Sisi. I urge all groups that use Marauders in Incursions to get the new iteration (653 MB) loaded asap and start getting groups together to test running inc's on Sisi.

There is a very small window for feedback, and if you have any interest in using these ships in incursions in the future, make you voice heard.

the changes to marauders are irrelevant without the changes to pirate hulls being announced.
