When checking for fits, first make sure they have a proper tank. You can read more about that on the [[Vanguard Incursion fits]] page for examples, or the [[Incursion_fitting_principles#Battleship_setups|fitting principles]] page for more information, but here are two very common setups:

−
The newly-acquired ability of Nation forces to override local system control has not yet been fully understood, and as a result, Nation forces are able to drastically affect contested systems over time, reducing the capabilities of capsuleers within their domain of control. Much of the technology used to aid this cause can be found at any of their mobile "consolidation network" facilities. This and other intelligence suggests that these complexes are primarily responsible for the initial propagation of system-wide interference.

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 a generic kill order that works no matter what fleet you're running. Certain special doctrines or fleet compositions could change some things in order to optimize their fleet efficiency, so this isn't necessarily the only kill order, but it works.
 
  
−
As a general rule of thumb, if you cannot shoot the highest priority target due to low damage projection, move on to the next target you can actually hit. Just remember to switch back to a higher priority target if it moves into range later on.

==== Practical examples ====
−
== Triggers ==
+
Here are some examples of what you should start focusing on for the three vanguard sites, see the individual sites for more information:
−
With the exception of the '''Antem Neos''' that spawn in the second wave, the last enemy killed triggers the next wave. This means that you can skip the Antems in the second wave. There is a chance that the fourth wave might be triggered before all the '''Romi Thalamus''' from the third wave are killed. You'd still need to kill it for the can to spawn for the third wave though.
+
* 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).
−
===== Emergency Evacuation Freighter =====
+
* 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.
−
In the fourth wave, the '''Emergency Evacuation Freighter''' will be unlocked when the majority of the wave is killed. You'll need to kill off all the warp disrupt capable ships, like '''Deltoles''' and '''Augas''', but then you have the option of killing only the '''Romis''' and '''Renyns''' to unlock the freighter, or ignore those and kill only the '''Anthems''' instead. So kill whichever is most convenient for you based on your fleet composition.
+
* 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.
−
===== Captured Civilians =====
+
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.
−
Each wave triggers the drop of a can containing the '''Captured Civilians''' necessary to complete the site. The can will spawn each wave once all but the long range '''Antems''' are killed, see below for more details.
 
−
===== Acceleration gates =====
 
−
The acceleration gates leading deeper into this site will be unlocked by the killing all the Sansha in the other side's pocket. So when the cruiser-side finishes their pocket, it unlocks the acceleration gate for the battleship-side, and vice versa. This means that you have to see it through on both sides in order to get to the fourth and final pocket where the sides come together to finish the site off.

===== Snipers =====
 
−
Several ships in the last pocket will sit at sniper ranges up to 150 km away from where you land. Without sniper capable ships you'd be unable to finish this site, unless you equip ships with microwarpdrives and chase down the elusive sniper targets. But that's hardly an ideal solution.
 
−
 
 
−
===== Anchor =====
 
−
While not a critical role, having an anchor that goes in first to ensure that the initial full room aggro is directed to them is a safety measure. It helps avoid initial split aggro while you're facing a full wave of Sansha. It also gives people a point of reference for orbiting, to keep the fleet together.

Incursionlogosmall.png The information presented here represents how we do things in the EVE University Incursion Community. It does not represent the best or only way to run Incursions. We make some compromises when it comes to efficiency for the sake of additional safety to create an environment where anyone can step up and learn a new role.

Stepping up for the first time

Preparations

Ensure everyone has a solid fit

When checking for fits, first make sure they have a proper tank. You can read more about that on the Vanguard Incursion fits page for examples, or the fitting principles page for more information, but here are two very common setups:

Minimum tank:

It's also important that we ensure that people have proper utility midslots, such as a Sensor Booster Sensor Booster II and a WebbingFederation Navy Stasis Webifier in their mids.

While running

Watchlist

Main article: 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

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 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 facilitate a controlled warp-out without a delay, should a war targets show up.

Targets for the entire fleet
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.
Regular 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 dronebunny also shoot these targets if the fleet has other ships dealing with the small targets already.
Small targets
Smaller targets, like frigates or extremely fast or small cruisers. Ideally the primary targets for strategic cruisers, Vindicators or the dronebunny as a last resort, but if need be the entire fleet will help kill these.
# Targets for the entire fleet Reason for the priority
(see Sansha's Manual for more information)
Regular targets Small targets
1 Niarja Myelen JammingEnergy neutralizing Because the Niarja Myelen jams and neuts.
2 Sansha's Nation Commander Warp disrupting
Tama Cerebellum Warp disrupting 		Because the Sansha's Nation Commander does a lot of damage and warp disrupts.

The Tama warp disrupts and has fairly high damage output, but is easy to kill.

3 Mara Paleo Remote Shield Booster

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 Remote Shield Booster and the Schmaeels Warp disruptingWebbing in the first room. For the remaining waves it's Niarjas JammingEnergy neutralizing first, then Tamas Warp disrupting and Schmaeels Warp disruptingWebbing followed by Augas Warp disruptingWebbing (in the last wave).
  • In a Nation Commander Outpost it's usually Niarjas JammingEnergy neutralizing first, then Tamas Warp disrupting and Schmaeels Warp disruptingWebbing followed by Augas Warp disruptingWebbing. The Sansha's Nation Commander 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 JammingEnergy neutralizing first, then Tamas Warp disrupting, followed by the Augas Warp disruptingWebbing and finally the Deltole Warp disruptingEnergy neutralizingTarget 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.
