Looking to try out incursions but all i have to play with is toon with lots and lots of SP into drones and can effectivly fly a Rattle or domi, Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a drone pilot who wants to do incursions if there is a option, Or if i should give up that dream. |

same reason why people don't like missiles in incursions: delayed damage application means you will lose the damage war |

From what I heard in my corp chat, PUGs generally won't take a drone boat. There's a corp or group out there that points you in the right direction (can't remember the name), but I doubt they'll take them either.
Your best hope is to make friends who won't mind you going drones.

Wait until after Odyssey and use a dominix. Unless the bonus change gets changed it'll have up to a native 50% bonus to drone optimal range and tracking speeds making usage of sentries in a potentially "shoot and scoot" environment more workable. |

The downside with drones in incursions is you generally want a flight of light drones to a drone bunny that deals with frigates, so you won't have your big drones out most of the time. Heavy drones are way too slow to be effective as they spend too much time traveling. Sentry drones are used somewhat, but you can't move with the fleet if you use them, so there is a significant delay until you drop them.
Drones also gets picked off in incursions, so you'll quickly loose your damage output at times, and you don't want to replace drones every second site you do. |

Vindicator = 1.4-1.6k dps easily with sentrys
Hyp = probably 1k-1.2k
Dominix (non-faction) = 600-800 dps max but can be done at 46-86km away depending on the fit
You'll want them in that order.....but in simple terms....train blasters and fly a hyp or vindicator instead. |

Rattlesnake is not only a great anchor in a large incursion it's the very best anchor!
As far as the small scale incursions that most people run no one wants a drone or missile boat.
I personally enjoy having one rattlesnake in any shield incursion fleet. More then one is useless unless your in the 40 man sites.
So yes they can be done and should be but they are limited due to general ignorance of what to do with them on VG's.
Domi is a no go for incursions.
Good Luck! |

I don't see why the navy domi shouldn't work after the changes
It can get a good tank, good range with sentries and can blap stuff up close. Incursion runners tend to think incursions are so hard that you must have a pimped up nightmare to do them though so who knows?

You don't need a NM. A cheap navy geddon (around 50mil more than Abaddon last time I checked) get 1.1k dps at 65km scorch range with matching range curators, or 1.3k at 30km, which still outranges blasterboats. It just far outclasses the likes of navy domi without costing more.
It has nothing to do with easy or hard. Given the facts, bringing a navy domi is a clear indication that you suffer from knowledge deficit. Nobody wants a noob in their fleet that may not follow directions, and pop the wrong triggers.
