*High end pve, make much ISK. Requirements are t2 shield tank (AIF II and LSE II). Faction mods *partly* replace, but an important part of being able to fit those mods in particular, is the skills required are vital for an effective shield tank. Some fits, communities and people prefer Amplifier II (passive mod, less resistance, easier fitting requirements, no cap needed) but the pros and cons will be discussed at the end.

*Nomadic, in certain constellations and they change every few days.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Constellation_layouts_for_Incursions

As you can see, there was a recent change and the new constellation layouts are still being mapped.

*Some in low, high and null. We do high, cause we're not suicidal. Get yer pvp off mah pve. Requires battleship with t2 tank, t3 cruiser (loki or legion preferred) or basilisk/scimitar (caldari/minmatar cruiser V, logi IV, supports) min. Or the much feared, rarely seen scimilisk.

*Highly profitable, 60m/hour at entry with new runners and taking it carefully, up to 200m/hour with blinged fits, experienced pilots and FC.

*Great way to learn fleet maneuvers and broadcasting in a safe environment. Your fellow pilots are often more then willing to discuss strategy and reasoning behind their fits and roles.

*E-uni is largely shield fleets, as are most communities. There are armour incursioners, and the requirements are largely similar (t2 tank, battleship, logi 4, t2 logi ship (Oneiros and Guardian)) but it's recommended to do some research before skilling into.

What does the red/blue bar mean?

There are 4 different penalties in an Incursion Constellation. The penalties affect cyno-field jamming, which irks Nullsec alliances but has little effect in high, 50% reduction in bounties for killing NPC rats (Incursion site rats have no bounties, ISK is from Concord payout from each site), shield and armour resistances (at 100% influence it is a 10% reduction in Vanguard systems, 25% in Assaults, and 50% in Headquarters), and gun/drone damage reduction (same criteria as the resist penalty). In practice, this means that your ships have less tank and less damage. Obviously, this has an effect on PvP, but in incursions this means that when the penalties are high, the sites are much more difficult. Each site completed reduces the constellation penalties, so you'll often see communities knock down the penalties in vanguards, to make the assaults and HQs safer.

Hulls we use are the hyperion, maelstrom and rokh, for entry level dd. Scimitar and basilisk, for logi.

A good rule of thumb for PvE, is to fit the tank first, then load up on gank.

=How to survive (and thrive!) in an incursion - the basics, the strategic withdrawal and moving to the site=

We broadcast so the logi can lock and start repping, and keeps them happy. The time to broadcast is when you are being yellowboxed. It takes 3-5 seconds for the logi to lock, and apply repps, which is close to the time it takes for them to go from yellow to red boxing and start hitting. Broadcasting after the first volley might get you away with armour damage on a tough spawn. Just as important, is to in position when you're no longer being red boxxed. They will keep you yellowboxed until they're dead, so you need to be on your toes especially afterwards.

==In case of logi disconnect==

It happens. Bad net, RL aggro, whatever. We have protocols, and your FC will follow them. Here is the order of business.

That's most of it. The main thing, is to follow directions, and keep calm.
