Latest revision as of 15:23, 13 March 2024

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.

Planning ahead

Unless you are already heavily invested into a certain race or weapon system, it might be a good idea to think of which logistics ship or marauder you'll want in the end, rather than what your first incursion ship should be. You should also consider secondary value of whatever you train, perhaps you can find an end-of-the-line ship that not only furthers your goals for incursions but other goals as well given the skills you'll end up training for it.

See ship progression for more information.

	Attribute implants The training times listed for these will assume that you utilize +3 attribute implants (see the +3 Implants Program for unistas to get started). These implants are cheap and gives you a much needed boost to your training times.
	Neural remaps Normally one should be careful about remaps and not spend them needlessly. However, if you are making an alt knowing that it will only train for a month or two and not train anything else after that point, consider using all the remaps.
	Multiple character training PLEX can be used to activate Multiple Character Training. If you want to use the characters at the same time, or plan on training for a long time, consider making a second account instead as characters on the same account cannot be logged in at the same time.
	Skill injectors Skill injectors can be used to get these skills, but they are very expensive. It can however be an option to quickly get an alt up to speed if you've got the ISK lying around and you value time more than ISK.

In-game corporate skill plans

See: EVE University Corporation Skill Plans

The Minimum Damage Dealer, Minimum Logistics, and Minimum Ongrid Booster plans are available as a set of in-game skill plans.

EVE University members may directly access the plans through the Corporate Skill Plan utility. Non-members may access the plans using the links on this page, as described below.

EVE University Members: To find these skill plans, choose "Skill Plans > Corporation Plans", on your in-game Skills interface.

Where to find the in-game Corporate Skill Plans

All Players: The skill plans shown later on this page each have their in-game Corporate Skill plan name listed, along with text that can be copied to produce a link to the skill plan in-game. To utilize the link, copy all text listed after the "Corporate Skill Plan link" for the plan you want to generate a link for, including the leading <url> and trailing </url>. Then paste this string of text into your in-game notepad, and the game will automatically convert the pasted text into a link, which can then be used or shared.

The copy-and-paste link method described above, can be used by characters outside of EVE University, to access the EVE University skill plans.

A link to the Skill Plans can also be generated and shared in-game from the plans themselves.

Damage dealers

The majority of the skills we ask you to train are core fitting and support skills that'll help you fit and fly most ships better. Even the combat skills are mostly general gunnery or drone support skills you'd train as well if you did anything combat related in EVE.

Minimum skills for damage dealers

This skillplan is available to all pilots, regardless of clone state.

Getting the minimum skills for a damage dealer requires a couple of months worth of training for Omega clones (times should be doubled when training on an Alpha clone). This assumes a training plan for a turret-based battleship, done on a brand new character with no preexisting skills, and that no skill injectors are used.

EVEMon

The skills listed in the training plans can be easily copied and pasted into EVEMon using the Clipboard Import button after having created a new EVEMon Skill Plan.

Recommended skills for damage dealers

This skillplan is restricted to pilots in the Omega clone state.

Apart from the minimum skills listed above to get going, there are more skills that you can get once you start running.

Developing general skills to improve the overall performance of your ship can reap benefits in and out of Incursions.
Developing skills to run headquarter sites with public communities (strong emphasis on cap and propulsion).
- Public communities will have their own doctrines and skill requirements. The ones listed here are general recommendations.
Training into tech two weapons bring much needed flexibility and range projection, even for regular tech one battleships.
- While we use mostly short range weapons, consider training into the long range specialization as well.
Some ships can fit target painters or remote capacitor transmitters, which require a few skills to be useful.
Improving your drones with skills for tech 2 variants, or larger kinds of drones, can provide additional damage at low cost.
Training into a Marauder provides the largest damage boost you can get for your character in highsec Incursions, but takes a while.

^ Electronic Warfare IV is a requirement for Advanced Drone Avionics.
^ ^a ^b Optional - Consider spending an additional 9 days and 19 hours training into the long range specialization as well
^ Electronic Warfare III is needed for Frequency Modulation and Long Distance Jamming.
^ ^a ^b Training Light Drone Operation V unlocks T2 drones, which deal slightly more damage (with levels in Amarr Drone Specialization for Acolytes) and cost several times less than faction versions.
^ - While heavy drones are not used in Vanguards, they see common use in Headquarters fleets. HQ groups will generally require pilots of Vindicators and Kronii to use heavy drones.
^ ^a ^b Energy Grid Upgrades V and Advanced Weapon Upgrades V are prerequisites of Marauders.

Logistics

Training for logistics is considerably more time-consuming than that of a regular damage dealer. Please remember that when you think the above mentioned skills for a damage dealer is a long train. The bare minimum to make the logistics ships work is Logistics Cruisers IV, there is practically no way to make these ships function with lower skills than that. The reason for that is because the skill heavily influences the cap usage of remote repair modules as well as capacitor transmitters.

Minimum skills for logistics

This skillplan is restricted to pilots in the Omega clone state.

It takes almost three months to get good enough skills to fly a minimum logistics fit and you should try to skill up and upgrade to the recommended fit as soon as possible. The additional remote tracking computers can significantly improve the overall performance of the fleet.

Ongrid booster

Training into an ongrid booster requires quite a few months worth of training, even if you're doing it on an existing character. This is due to the fact it requires skills you normally wouldn't train unless you're specifically training to use command bursts. It's also a very long one that benefits greatly from using neural remaps.

Minimum skills for ongrid boosters

This skillplan is restricted to pilots in the Omega clone state.

Since Cybernetics V is required for the mindlink implant, consider training it first so you can also get +5 attribute implants and further improving your training time. The times listed below are, like all the other skill plans, assuming just the +3 attribute implants and no neural remaps. So there's plenty of room for optimization. These minimum skills will allow you to fly any of the minimum ongrid booster fits for vanguards.

Recommended skills for ongrid boosters

There are no real recommended skills for ongrid boosters apart from the minimum skills, as the bar is so high to begin with that the rest of the skills aren't really that critical. But wrapping up Command Ships V and Command Burst Specialist V could be convenient.

While you could train Fleet Command for larger area of effect, that isn't really needed for the vanguards we run, as we'll all stay well within the base range you get with the pre-requisite Leadership V and Wing Command IV.

Further training

Once you've got the most pressing skills trained and you're looking towards further training, remember that in the time it takes to train a skill from IV to V you can usually train up a handful of other skills from I to IV. As a general rule of thumb we recommend that people train their skills up to IV before starting to max them out. Sometimes you need a skill that requires you to train another skill to V, so it's not always avoidable, but until you have a solid set of skills trained it makes sense to hold off on training skills to V.

When you start training skills to V it might be a good time to start doing some serious skillplanning and consider neural remaps and better attribute implants. While restrictive, a good neural remap and attribute upgrades can lower the training time significantly.

Honing your skills

Remember that the minimum and recommended skills are just the beginning and there is much room for improvement. Maxing out the gunnery and support skills and topping off your racial ship skills for example will make your ship much more efficient. You'll also have many more options to improve your fit with better fitting and support skills, like upgrading a module, drop an excessive tank module for more utility modules and so forth.

What you're going to train next differs a little bit based on what ship and what weapons you're going to use. For some fitting skills will be prioritized due to the lack of CPU or powergrid of their hull, for others capacitor skills are more important while others can simply go straight for better ship and gunnery skills.

Useful training for alts

It is no secret that having alts or several accounts are extremely useful in EVE. Incursions are no different and we can make good use of alts for a wide variety of things, especially unistas during war. The training times shown below are assuming the same +3 attribute implants as mentioned at the top of this page.

Hacker / Scout

Scouting can be done in pretty much any ship and doesn't require any skills at all, even shuttles. When it comes to hacking the racial exploration ships are very useful thanks to their bonuses and often very cheap to boot. There are a few skills that help, but for the most part you'll have the skills needed to hack right off the bat. For dropping Lyavite in the Nation Mining Colony, the tech 1 mining frigate Venture is best suited for the job, being able to carry multiple sites worth of ore on its own.

For more information about the role, see the hacker/scout section on the Roles in Incursions page.

NOTES

Any of the Magnate, Imicus, or Probe can also use this fitting with the same level of effectiveness.
Being able to fit a Data Analyzer II module will greatly improve hacking effectiveness, as it pushes the Heron's virus strength to 35, letting it break through defensive subsystems more easily.
Right-clicking your microwarpdrive and selecting the option "Set auto-repeat off" is a good way to make sure you only run one cycle of the microwarpdrive, thus avoiding any embarrassing issues like forgetting to keep it on and capping out before you can hack the tower.
The Warrior I drones are so that the scout can contribute damage and sponge a payout if there are less than ten ongrid ships.
Additional buffer modules, such as Small Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extenders, can make it easier for the logi pilots to hold up this ship, in case it takes aggro in an OTA.

NOTES

The Venture can hold 16 stacks of Lyavite containing 255 units in each stack.
The Small Remote Shield Extender is so that the scout can contribute repairs and sponge a payout if there are less than ten ongrid ships.
Adding a Prototype Cloaking Device enables the Venture to safely enter the Nation Mining Colony before the final wave. It is not necessary to perform dropper duties, and requires Omega clone status in order to use.

Valet alt

Having an alt capable of flying your ships around is invaluable when your main character is at war or otherwise indisposed. If the purpose is just to fly the ship, they wouldn't need any gunnery skills whatsoever. The same character could theoretically become your dedicated incursion/mission alt down the line to make life easier for your main character, if you have the means to support a second account that is. Since each account comes with three character slots, everyone have the ability to make two alts for their account, meaning this is an option everyone has, it's not limited to people with multiple accounts.

Moving your actual main, who is in uni, can be done safely in something as simple as a shuttle. See travel fits for more information on how you can easily move your main to and from incursions when you want to run.

Below are various levels of training needed for different type of tanking capabilities. As a minimum, the Hull tanking and Ship skills is enough to fit a Damage Control II and Reinforced Bulkhead II modules for a solid 130 - 150k+ effective hit points buffer on a regular tech one battleship. If you train the Additional race as well, the alt could move a pirate faction battleship. The extra shield skills would allow you to upgrade the meta shield modules to tech two for a little bit more tank as well.

Hull tanking	Ship skills	Additional race ^[1]	Shield tanking ^[2]
~ 1 day and 12 hours	~ 3 days and 5 hours	~ 2 days and 11 hours	~ 5 day and 11 hours
Hull Upgrades IV	Spaceship Command IV <racial> Frigate III <racial> Destroyer III <racial> Cruiser III <racial> Battlecruiser III <racial> Battleship I	<racial> Frigate III <racial> Destroyer III <racial> Cruiser III <racial> Battlecruiser III <racial> Battleship I	Shield Upgrades IV Tactical Shield Manipulation IV
Less than 4 days and 17 hours worth of training in total for a simple valet alt

^ Optional - If you need your alt to be able to move a pirate faction battleship (since they require two racial ship skills).
^ Optional - Increasing the train to a handful of days means you can upgrade the shield tank and use the Large Shield Extender II, EM Shield Amplifier II as well as the Multispectrum Shield Hardener II modules (or any of the active hardeners or passive amplifiers).

Travel fits

The basic idea behind travel fits for the above mentioned valet alt is to not be at war (which is why we use the valet) and to simply replace any modules that do not help us travel safer, so as not to be worth ganking in the first place. This means that webs, target painters, damage modules etc are removed in favour of tanking modules.

The easiest way to make a travel fit for a battleship is to replace all the low slots except for the damage control with reinforced bulkheads and replace all the midslots with a combination of large shield extenders and multispectrum shield hardeners. If the character you will be moving the battleship with can use cloaking devices then fitting an Improved Cloaking Device II in a high slot and a 500MN Microwarpdrive in a midslot will allow the use of the Cloak trick.

There is generally no need to unfit the high slot guns, if additional fitting space for tank modules is needed then guns can simply be offlined.

Moving costly modules

The regular fits on the wiki have but a couple of expensive modules, like the Federation Navy Stasis Webifier and for some ships the Republic Fleet Target Painter, which totals about 100 million. This can easily be carried in the hold of a travel fit battleship without much fear of becoming a gank target.

If you upgrade your ship with more expensive modules, such as deadspace and other faction modules, you should secure a better way of moving those expensive modules. The dedicated travel ships (except the shuttle) can easily hold the more expensive modules as they are often only 5 - 10 m3 in size and those ships can fit several modules in their hold.

Common guides

There are several common guides on the wiki already. Our needs in the incursion community are a little different, but it might be useful for general purposes or to get some inspiration of what else to train on your alt.

[1] Target Painting is needed for the target painter module. Can be skipped for Vindicator pilots (see Propulsion Jamming).

[2] Propulsion Jamming is needed for the stasis webifier module normally fitted to T1 battleships and the Vindicator. Other ships may also fit this module situationally, from time to time.

[gun_upgrade-3] Having Motion Prediction, Rapid Firing, Sharpshooter and Controlled Bursts at III are all that's needed to get started, though it is recommended to train these skills to IV as soon as possible if you wish to invest further into Incursions.

[racial-4] <racial> Frigate III and Small <racial> Turret III are starter skills you normally have, but are included in case you have to cross-train out of your initial race.

[5] Electronic Warfare IV is a requirement for Advanced Drone Avionics.

[long-6] Optional - Consider spending an additional 9 days and 19 hours training into the long range specialization as well

[7] Electronic Warfare III is needed for Frequency Modulation and Long Distance Jamming.

[t2lights-8] Training Light Drone Operation V unlocks T2 drones, which deal slightly more damage (with levels in Amarr Drone Specialization for Acolytes) and cost several times less than faction versions.

[9] - While heavy drones are not used in Vanguards, they see common use in Headquarters fleets. HQ groups will generally require pilots of Vindicators and Kronii to use heavy drones.

[marauder-10] Energy Grid Upgrades V and Advanced Weapon Upgrades V are prerequisites of Marauders.

[11] Energy Grid Upgrades is required for the cap, power diagnostic and reactor control modules.

[logistics-12] Signature Analysis V and Long Range Targeting V are requirements for the Logistics Cruisers skill.

[13] Target Management V is a requirement for the Advanced Target Management skill.

[racial-14] Gallente Frigate III is a starter skill for Gallente characters.

[logibots-15] Drone Durability I and Repair Drone Operation II are required to use armor maintenance bots.

[16] Remote Armor Repair Systems IV is already trained as a requirement for the Remote Armor Repairer II module.

[17] This assumes you've already trained the skills listed under recommended.

[command-18] Leadership V, Wing Command IV, Command Burst Specialist IV and Spaceship Command V are all needed to train Command Ships.

[mindlink-19] Cybernetics V, Armored Command Specialist V and Skirmish Command Specialist V are needed for the Federation Navy Command Mindlink implant.

[20] Armored Command V is a requirement for Armored Command Specialist.

[21] Skirmish Command V is a requirement for Skirmish Command Specialist.

[command2-22] Leadership V, Command Burst Specialist IV and Wing Command IV are already required for Command Ships

[23] Drones V, Light Drone Operation V and Amarr Drone Specialization I is required to use Acolyte II. It's acceptable to skip this skill initially if you can use other drones, like Warrior II drones, but train it as soon as possible.

[logibots-24] Drone Durability I and Repair Drone Operation II are required to use armor maintenance bots.

[25] Optional - If you need your alt to be able to move a pirate faction battleship (since they require two racial ship skills).

[26] Optional - Increasing the train to a handful of days means you can upgrade the shield tank and use the Large Shield Extender II, EM Shield Amplifier II as well as the Multispectrum Shield Hardener II modules (or any of the active hardeners or passive amplifiers).

-Unless you are already heavily invested into a certain race or weapon system, it might be a good idea to think of which logistics ship, strategic cruiser or pirate faction battleship you'll want in the end, rather than what your first incursion ship should be.
+Unless you are already heavily invested into a certain race or weapon system, it might be a good idea to think of which logistics ship or marauder you'll want in the end, rather than what your first incursion ship should be. You should also consider secondary value of whatever you train, perhaps you can find an end-of-the-line ship that not only furthers your goals for incursions but other goals as well given the skills you'll end up training for it.
-You should also consider secondary value of whatever you train, perhaps you can find an end-of-the-line ship that not only furthers your goals for incursions but other goals as well given the skills you'll end up training for it. If you already know that you like smaller ships, or have plans for diving into a wormhole in the future, it would make much more sense training into a strategic cruiser than a pirate faction battleship.

-The following skills are recommended, if not downright required to fit the modules you have to in order to do incursions. For more information on what the different skills do, see the [[Support_Skills#Skills|Support Skills]] page. It's worth noting that the skills we recommend are basic skills, useful for pretty much all combat ships in EVE.

-The training times listed for these will assume that you trained '''Cybernetics I''' and got a cheap set of '''+3 attribute implants''', which is not only reasonable but highly recommended regardless what you plan on doing in EVE. There's even [[The +3 Implants Program]] for unistas to get started.
+[[PLEX]] can be used to activate [[Multiple Character Training]]. If you want to use the characters at the same time, or plan on training for a long time, consider making a '''second account''' instead as characters on the same account cannot be logged in at the same time.
-== Damage dealers ==

-Getting the recommended skills for a damage dealer requires a little over 60 days of training, if you train into a turret-based battleship on a brand new character.
+| valign="top" | [[image:skill_injector.png|64px|link=]]
+| valign="top" | {{co|coral|Skill injectors}}
-Considering that is far more likely that you come looking for incursions after you have played the game for at least a couple of weeks, having trained some of the support skills already (the tutorial mentions many of them), you can often get ready much faster. Add to that the potential of neural remapping and what might seem like a daunting train can be covered in no-time.
+[[Skill Injector|Skill injectors]] can be used to get these skills, but they are '''very expensive'''. It can however be an option to quickly get an alt up to speed if you've got the ISK lying around and you value time more than ISK.

+See: [[EVE University Corporation Skill Plans]]
+The Minimum Damage Dealer, Minimum Logistics, and Minimum Ongrid Booster plans are available as a set of in-game skill plans.

+A link to the Skill Plans can also be generated and shared in-game from the plans themselves.
+= Damage dealers =
+The majority of the skills we ask you to train are core fitting and support skills that'll help you fit and fly most ships better. Even the combat skills are mostly general gunnery or drone support skills you'd train as well if you did anything combat related in EVE.
+== Minimum skills for damage dealers ==
+{{alpha|skillplan}}
+Getting the minimum skills for a damage dealer requires a couple of months worth of training for {{Clonestate|omega}}s (times should be doubled when training on an {{Clonestate|alpha}}). This assumes a training plan for a turret-based battleship, done on a brand new character with no preexisting skills, and that no skill injectors are used.

-== Logistics ==
+=== Skill Plans ===
-Training for logistics is considerably more time-consuming than that of a regular damage dealer. Please remember that when you think the above mentioned skills for a damage dealer is a long train. The bare minimum to make the logistics ships work is '''Logistics IV''', there is practically no way to make these ships function with lower skills than that. The reason for that is because the skill heavily influences the cap usage of remote repair modules as well as capacitor transmitters.
-It takes up to 79 days to get good enough skills to fly a [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Logistics|logistics starter fit]].

-== Leadership skills ==
-Since we always run with offgrid boosters and need people to sit in squad or wing command to pass boosts and tag, having leadership trained on as many pilots as possible is extremely useful.
-The actual warfare skills are less important, as they will be passed on through from the offgrid booster in the fleet. So while they might be worth training for other reasons, there's no reason to train it for regular incursion runners.
+Listed below are the training plans for a general damage dealer, as well as specific skills for particular ships. These can be copied into your skill queue to train. The skills are not ordered in any sort of preference, so feel free to move them around as you see fit.

-== Miscellaneous skills ==
-While not critical, being able to overheat your modules for a short while is often more than enough to save your ship when things turn from bad to worse. Basic navigation skills are good too, especially a decent level in warp drive skills so you don't cap out in long warps. Having the skills to use the microwarpdrive and cloak trick for safer travel is also handy.
-As such, it's also recommended that people train the following skills:

-= Further training =
+=== EVEMon ===
-Once you have the recommended skills, it's time to consider what else to train.
-{{example|In the time it takes to train a skill from IV to V you can usually train up a handful of other skills from I to IV, so as a general rule of thumb we recommend that people train their skills up to IV before starting to max them out. Sometimes you need a skill that requires you to train another skill to V, so it's not always avoidable, but until you have a solid set of skills trained it makes sense to hold off on training skills to V.}}
-== Advanced hulls ==
-The step from a battleship to a strategic cruiser or a pirate faction battleship is surprisingly short and you should take this step as soon as possible to get into a really good ship. You might need to top off some of the support skills, pending on what ship you decide to move into, if you run into powergrid, CPU or cap issues.
-For strategic cruisers you'll most likely require you to train some support skills to V and of course your racial cruiser of choice to V. Then you just move towards tech two medium weapons for further efficiency. When it comes to pirate faction battleship hulls like the Machariel, Nightmare and Vindicator, which are better in all regards compared to the regular battleships regardless of your skill, you'll need to train anything from a secondary racial shipline to two new racial shiplines and new racial turret skills. Flying ships that cost over a billion in just the hull shouldn't be taken lightly however, but from an efficiency point of view there is no reason not to get one.
+The skills listed in the training plans can be easily copied and pasted into EVEMon using the Clipboard Import button after having created a new EVEMon Skill Plan.
-Also remember that once you've trained the generic support skills for ships and weapons, crosstraining into a different racial ship or a secondary racial turret doesn't take that long. Same for logistics, once you have the skills to fly one of them, the other is a matter of training up a new racial cruiser skill to V. Being able to fly several ships and roles, like both that of a damage dealer and a logistics, gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility. It also makes you quite desirable among the incursion communities, both within EVE University and beyond, as having pilots capable of switching roles or ships based on what the fleet needs is incredibly useful.
+== Recommended skills for damage dealers ==
+{{omega|skillplan}}
+Apart from the minimum skills listed above to get going, there are more skills that you can get once you start running.
+* Developing '''general skills''' to improve the overall performance of your ship can reap benefits in and out of Incursions.
+* Developing skills to run '''headquarter sites''' with public communities (strong emphasis on cap and propulsion).
+** Public communities will have their own doctrines and skill requirements. The ones listed here are general recommendations.
+* Training into '''tech two weapons''' bring much needed flexibility and range projection, even for regular tech one battleships.
+** While we use mostly short range weapons, consider training into the '''long range specialization''' as well.
+* Some ships can fit '''target painters''' or '''remote capacitor transmitters''', which require a few skills to be useful.
+* Improving your '''drones''' with skills for tech 2 variants, or larger kinds of drones, can provide additional damage at low cost.
+* Training into a '''Marauder''' provides the largest damage boost you can get for your character in highsec Incursions, but takes a while.

-== Honing your skills ==
-Remember that the recommended skills are just the beginning and there is much room for improvement. Increase these skills, train up for tech two weaponry and max out the gunnery and support skills, and your ship will be much more efficient. You'll also have many more options to improve your fit with better fitting and support skills, like upgrading a module, drop an excessive tank module for more utility modules and so forth.
-What you're going to train next differs a little bit based on what ship and what weapons you're going to use. For some fitting skills will be prioritized due to the lack of CPU or powergrid of their hull, for others capacitor skills are more important while others can simply go straight for better ship skills and tech two weaponry.
-{{example|Once you start training skills to V it might be a good time to start doing some serious skillplanning and consider [[Skills_and_Learning#Neural_Remaps|neural remaps]] and better attribute implants. While restrictive, a good neural remap and attribute upgrades can lower the training time significantly.}}

-== Crosstraining into armour ==
+= Logistics =
-While we primarily run shield fleets, most of the skills you use will be reusable for armour fleets as well. It wouldn't take too long to touch up on your armour skills to be able to run armour fleets. For unistas it also gives them great skills to use within the [[Wormhole Campus]], as they run primarily armour fleets.
+Training for logistics is considerably more time-consuming than that of a regular damage dealer. Please remember that when you think the above mentioned skills for a damage dealer is a long train. The bare minimum to make the logistics ships work is {{sk|Logistics Cruisers|IV}}, there is practically no way to make these ships function with lower skills than that. The reason for that is because the skill heavily influences the cap usage of remote repair modules as well as capacitor transmitters.

-== Orca ==
-The [[Orca]] is a wonderful ship that's more like a mobile base than just a ship. It has a ship maintenance bay to store ship, enough cargo hold to carry lots of ammo as well as spare modules, an ore hold for [[Lyavite in Incursions|lyavite]]. Its refitting services and fleet hangar is also very useful for changing things up while in space, or to have a nearby stock of lyavite handy in a non-station system.
-Even if you fly this ship on an alt that you cannot have logged on at the same time as your main character, the Orca is a tremendously useful ship.

+ Remote Armor Repair Systems V
-==== Ship Maintenance Bay ====
+ Capacitor Management V
-Nothing in the maintenance bay will drop if your ship is destroyed, they will simply be destroyed along with your ship. This makes it very useful for denying suicide gankers their profit by putting the costly modules on ships inside the maintenance bay. Keep in mind that you would still lose those ships and modules, but they wouldn't be a contributing factor when suicide gankers calculate the profit of ganking you.
+ Repair Drone Operation V}}
-The ship maintenance bay is 400,000 m3 worth of assembled ships which is enough to hold ships as large as a battlecruiser-hull, or a selection of cruiser-hull or smaller. You could fill out the maintenance bay with some extra ships for exploration, low level missioning (or even high level missioning with a Tengu), mining ships (for lyavite or just in general). For those with the skills to fly several ships, it is also ideal for moving multiple logistics or strategical cruisers as well as a command ship.
+= Ongrid booster =
+Training into an ongrid booster requires quite a few months worth of training, even if you're doing it on an existing character. This is due to the fact it requires skills you normally wouldn't train unless you're specifically training to use command bursts. It's also a very long one that benefits greatly from using [[Skills_and_Learning#Neural_Remaps|neural remaps]].
-Below is a list of ships and how much room they take up:
+== Minimum skills for ongrid boosters ==

+{{omega|skillplan}}
-! colspan="6" | [[file:icon_ship_dark.png|32px|link=]] Logistics and strategic cruisers
+Since {{sk|Cybernetics|V|icon=yes}} is required for the mindlink implant, consider training it first so you can also get +5 attribute implants and further improving your training time. The times listed below are, like all the other skill plans, assuming just the +3 attribute implants and no neural remaps. So there's plenty of room for optimization. These minimum skills will allow you to fly any of the '''minimum ongrid booster fits''' for [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Ongrid booster|vanguards]].

-==== Making the most of it ====
-If you can afford to spend a little more time on it, there are various things you could do to make life a little easier for your Orca-pilot.
-Should you have a lot of time and an interest in mining as well, the Orca is the premier booster for mining operations, shadowed only by the [[Rorqual]]. But that would be a considerable time investment.

+== Recommended skills for ongrid boosters ==
+There are no real recommended skills for ongrid boosters apart from the minimum skills, as the bar is so high to begin with that the rest of the skills aren't really that critical. But wrapping up {{sk|Command Ships|V|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Command Burst Specialist|V|icon=yes}} could be convenient.
+While you could train {{sk|Fleet Command|icon=yes}} for larger area of effect, that isn't really needed for the vanguards we run, as we'll all stay well within the base range you get with the pre-requisite {{sk|Leadership|V|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Wing Command|IV|icon=yes}}.
+= Further training =
+Once you've got the most pressing skills trained and you're looking towards further training, remember that in the time it takes to train a skill from IV to V you can usually train up a handful of other skills from I to IV. As a general rule of thumb we recommend that people train their skills up to IV before starting to max them out. Sometimes you need a skill that requires you to train another skill to V, so it's not always avoidable, but until you have a solid set of skills trained it makes sense to hold off on training skills to V.
+When you start training skills to V it might be a good time to start doing some serious skillplanning and consider [[Skills_and_Learning#Neural_Remaps|neural remaps]] and better attribute implants. While restrictive, a good neural remap and attribute upgrades can lower the training time significantly.
+== Honing your skills ==
+Remember that the minimum and recommended skills are just the beginning and there is much room for improvement. Maxing out the gunnery and support skills and topping off your racial ship skills for example will make your ship much more efficient. You'll also have many more options to improve your fit with better fitting and support skills, like upgrading a module, drop an excessive tank module for more utility modules and so forth.
+What you're going to train next differs a little bit based on what ship and what weapons you're going to use. For some fitting skills will be prioritized due to the lack of CPU or powergrid of their hull, for others capacitor skills are more important while others can simply go straight for better ship and gunnery skills.
+= Useful training for alts =
+It is no secret that having alts or several accounts are extremely useful in EVE. Incursions are no different and we can make good use of alts for a wide variety of things, especially unistas during war. The training times shown below are assuming the same +3 attribute implants as mentioned at the top of this page.
+== Hacker / Scout ==
+Scouting can be done in pretty much any ship and doesn't require any skills at all, even shuttles. When it comes to hacking the racial exploration ships are very useful thanks to their bonuses and often very cheap to boot. There are a few skills that help, but for the most part you'll have the skills needed to hack right off the bat. For dropping Lyavite in the Nation Mining Colony, the tech 1 mining frigate {{sh|Venture}} is best suited for the job, being able to carry multiple sites worth of ore on its own.
+For more information about the role, see the [[Roles in Incursions#Hacker/Scout|hacker/scout]] section on the '''Roles in Incursions''' page.

 == Valet alt ==
-Having an alt capable of flying your ships around is invaluable when your main character is at war or otherwise indisposed. If the purpose is just to fly the ship, they wouldn't need any gunnery skills whatsoever.
+Having an alt capable of flying your ships around is invaluable when your main character is at war or otherwise indisposed. If the purpose is just to fly the ship, they wouldn't need any gunnery skills whatsoever. The same character could theoretically become your dedicated incursion/mission alt down the line to make life easier for your main character, if you have the means to support a second account that is. Since each account comes with three character slots, everyone have the ability to make two alts for their account, meaning this is an option everyone has, it's not limited to people with multiple accounts.
-Below are various levels of training needed for different type of tanking capabilities. As a minimum, the '''Hull tanking''' and '''Ship skills''' is enough to fit a Damage Control II and Reinforced Bulkhead II modules for a solid 150k+ ehp buffer on a regular tech one battleship. If you train the '''Additional race''' as well, the alt could move a pirate faction battleship.
+Moving your actual main, who is in uni, can be done safely in something as simple as a shuttle. See [[Travel_fits#Using_dedicated_ships_for_moving_around|travel fits]] for more information on how you can easily move your main to and from incursions when you want to run.

If you train the '''Additional race''' as well, the alt could move a pirate faction battleship. The extra shield skills would allow you to upgrade the meta shield modules to tech two for a little bit more tank as well.

-== Neural remaps ==
+==== Travel fits ====
-Normally one should be careful about remaps and not spend them needlessly. However, if you are making an alt knowing that it will only train for a month or two and not train anything else after that point, consider using all the remaps.
+The basic idea behind travel fits for the above mentioned [[#Valet alt|valet alt]] is to not be at war (which is why we use the valet) and to simply replace any modules that do not help us travel safer, so as not to be worth ganking in the first place. This means that webs, target painters, damage modules etc are removed in favour of tanking modules.
+The easiest way to make a travel fit for a battleship is to replace all the low slots except for the damage control with reinforced bulkheads and replace all the midslots with a combination of large shield extenders and multispectrum shield hardeners. If the character you will be moving the battleship with can use cloaking devices then fitting an Improved Cloaking Device II in a high slot and a 500MN Microwarpdrive in a midslot will allow the use of the [[Cloak trick]].
+There is generally no need to unfit the high slot guns, if additional fitting space for tank modules is needed then guns can simply be offlined.
+==== Moving costly modules ====
+The regular fits on the wiki have but a couple of expensive modules, like the [[image:icon_stasis_webifier_faction.png|18px|link=]]{{co|coral|Federation Navy Stasis Webifier}} and for some ships the [[image:icon_target_painter_faction.png|18px|link=]]{{co|coral|Republic Fleet Target Painter}}, which totals about {{icon|money|18}} 100 million. This can easily be carried in the hold of a travel fit battleship without much fear of becoming a gank target.
+If you upgrade your ship with more expensive modules, such as deadspace and other faction modules, you should secure a better way of moving those expensive modules. The [[Travel_fits#Using_dedicated_ships_for_moving_around|dedicated travel ships]] (except the shuttle) can easily hold the more expensive modules as they are often only 5 - 10 m3 in size and those ships can fit several modules in their hold.
-For example, if you're using a [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/30_days_Concord_Pilot_License_Extension PLEX] (Pilot License Extension) to activate [[Dual Character Training]] for a month or two, then using all three neural remaps makes sense. It might allow you to squeeze in some more skills or shorten the training time to be within one or two months instead of slightly more.
 == Common guides ==
-There are several common guides on the wiki already. Our needs in the incursion community is a little different, but it might be useful for general purposes or to get some inspiration of what else to train on your alt.
