It's also important that we ensure that people have proper [[Incursion_fitting_principles#Utility_modules|utility midslots]], such as a [[image:icon_sensor_booster_ii.png|18px|Sensor Booster]] {{co|coral|Sensor Booster II}} and a [[image:icon_stasis_webifier_faction.png|18px|Webbing]]{{co|coral|Federation Navy Stasis Webifier}} in their mids.

== Make sure your picket is ready before undocking ==

{{main|Incursions_checklist#Using_the_Watch_List|Using the Watch List}}

Be sure to remind everyone to add everyone in the ongrid-squad to their '''Watch List''' before starting your first site, as well as whenever someone joins the fleet while running.

== Priority targets for vanguards ==

{{important note box|This is a '''fundamental safety aspect''' and starting out it's not recommended to deviate from this kill order, as you could easily find yourself leaving warp disrupt capable ships on grid for longer periods of time, increasing the risk of being caught should a war target show up. See [[Anatomy of Incursions#Standard tactics|Anatomy of Incursions]] for a more in-depth explanation of prioritizing targets.}} 

This is a generic priority list for vanguard sites, focusing on removing both damage and warp disruption from grid as soon as possible. Remember that different fleet compositions can change who targets what, as well as various fleet command styles. This is however a solid priority to follow that accounts for our unique need of getting rid of warp disrupt capable ships in order to [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Facilitating_a_controlled_warp-out|facilitate a controlled warp-out]] without a delay, should a war targets show up.

: These targets are for the entire fleet, as they need to die as soon as possible. It can also be beneficial to ensure that both regular and small high priority targets are killed before moving on to respective low priority targets.

: These targets are usually larger, cruisers or battleships and suitable for ships with good damage projection, lower tracking, like battleships with large guns. The [[Roles in Incursions#Dronebunny|dronebunny]] also shoot these targets if the fleet has other ships dealing with the '''small targets''' already.

: Smaller targets, like frigates or extremely fast or small cruisers. Ideally the primary targets for '''strategic cruisers''', [[Vindicator]]s or the [[Roles in Incursions#Dronebunny|dronebunny]] as a last resort, but if need be the entire fleet will help kill these.

==== Practical examples ====

Here are some examples of what you should start focusing on for the three vanguard sites, see the individual sites for more information:

* When you start the [[Nation Mining Colony]], the immediate threat is the '''Mara''' {{icon|st|18|Remote Shield Booster}} and the '''Schmaeels''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|web|18|Webbing}} in the first room. For the remaining waves it's '''Niarjas''' {{icon|jam|18|Jamming}}{{icon|neut|18|Energy neutralizing}} first, then '''Tamas''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}} and '''Schmaeels''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|web|18|Webbing}} followed by '''Augas''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|web|18|Webbing}} (in the last wave).

* In a [[Nation Commander Outpost]] it's usually '''Niarjas''' {{icon|jam|18|Jamming}}{{icon|neut|18|Energy neutralizing}} first, then '''Tamas''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}} and '''Schmaeels''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|web|18|Webbing}} followed by '''Augas''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|web|18|Webbing}}. The '''Sansha's Nation Commander''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}} that spawns in the third wave needs to go first, then the usual order.

* Since everything warp disrupts in the [[Override Transfer Array]], you basically through '''Niarjas''' {{icon|jam|18|Jamming}}{{icon|neut|18|Energy neutralizing}} first, then '''Tamas''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}, followed by the '''Augas''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|web|18|Webbing}} and finally the '''Deltole''' {{icon|point|18|Warp disrupting}}{{icon|neut|18|Energy neutralizing}}{{icon|target painter|18|Target painting}} for three waves then the remaining Eysturs warp off.

This will take care of the immediate threat of jammers and warp disrupt capable ship, meaning you can relax knowing the hardest part of target calling is over, the rest is just finishing off the remainder of the site. See the '''individual site pages''' linked above for more information on priorities.
