After the tracking enhancer nerf a while ago I had to put down my much beloved 800's mach, and train them NM skills. Out of the holy trinity of much used pirate ships (Vindi, NM, mach) I'd say best ship(s) for HQ/shield incursions are:
Short range: vindi -> needs to burn in 7-9k range to apply that dps, also part of the reason why webs are so nice on vindis.
Medium and long range: tachyon NM, in order to apply the highest dps, it needs to change ammo from mulifreq to navy gamma after ~60k range, navy x-ray after ~75k, navy ultraviolet after ~90k, navy standard after ~100k, Aurora after ~115k. The 1s reload time comes in handy (well, those are the numbers for the fit I eft'd, w/o implants, your fit most likely WILL have different numbers)
Machariel, back in the day, was ok in mid range (20-45k range) when the tracking enhancers were good, but nowadays NM has taken it's spot with it's better damage projection. Arguably, 800 mach has it's niche in 10-25k range, however many a incursion rats in HQ's don't stay in that range long enough to make the niche worthwhile. Also chasing them is not feasible if you already have vindis gunning for them sanshas.
My opinion is based on a Eft of the DPS projection for a few incursion fits, of which I plugged in eft the most talked about:
http://i.imgur.com/1o6smTa.png
* The fits are on "All V", and with no implants affecting dps or damage projection.
* Mwd is off for all as to not affect the numbers.
* No resists used for the graph.
* Info boosts used, siege/armor/skirmish were not, not that it matters for EFT dps.
* Shot at a empty Dominix hull to represent the sansha.
* No drones.
* Yes, fits are not perfect, yes implants and other rigs change stuffs, however I'm confident the overall picture will not change. If you have, please post better fits, especially ones that don't have modules costing more than 1 bil/module.
