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 pirate faction battleship 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.

{{Color box|color=sienna|border=sandybrown|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.}}

<br>
 +
<br>
 +
<u>All Players</u>: 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 <nowiki><url></nowiki> and trailing <nowiki></url></nowiki>.  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.

Getting the minimum skills for a damage dealer requires a couple of months worth of training, if you train into a turret-based battleship on a brand new character. These minimum skills will allow you to fly any of the '''minimum battleship fits''' for [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Battleships|vanguards]]. It will also allow you to fly most of the [[Assault Incursion fits#Battleships|assaults]] fits, although some of them might require you to touch up on a skill or two.

{{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.

It takes almost three months to get good enough skills to fly a '''minimum''' [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Logistics|logistics fit]] and you should try to skill up and upgrade to the '''recommended''' fit as soon as possible. The repping power of meta four remote shield boosters are inferior to that of the tech two variant, so moving out of the minimum fit should be a high priority.

Since the minimum skills only gets you so far, it's important to continue training into the '''recommended logistics fit''' for [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Logistics|logistics]] (and preferably the '''advanced fits''' too). This is important because being able to quickly upgrade from meta to tech two '''Remote Shield Booster II''' modules will ensure the safety 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 [[Skills_and_Learning#Neural_Remaps|neural remaps]].
 +
 +
== Minimum skills for ongrid boosters ==
 +
{{omega|skillplan}}
 +
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]].

== 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}}.

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.

== Crosstraining into armour ==
 
−
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.

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.

When it comes to suitable ships for hacking it pretty much boils down to speed and midslots. We recommend the Heron (Caldari Frigate) because it's cheap, fast and has five midslots.

== 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.

== 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.
−
| [[File:warfare-links.png|64px|link=]]
 
−
| The fleet hangar is another 40,000 m3 that can hold just about anything (including assembled frigates). This hold can be used for spare modules and ore to be available to fleet members, or just secondary storage.
 
−
|}
 
  
−
==== Ship Maintenance Bay ====
+
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.
−
{{important note box|While it's only possible to see the ships in the ship maintenance bay and '''not''' their content, ships have the same chance of dropping as any other item on your ship. If a ship drops, it drops whole with all modules and rigs intact (just like a container does).}}
 
−
The main function of a ship maintenance bay is that it can take fully assembled ships (no need to repackage them). Below is a short summary of the benefits and limitations of the ship maintenance bay.
 
  
−
* The ship maintenance bay can hold '''400,000 m3''' worth of assembled ships which is enough to hold ships as large as a battlecruiser-hull but not a battleship-hull (their size exceeds the 400k limit). Keep in mind that carrying several more valuable ships in the bay can make your Orca an attractive suicide gank target.
+
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 {{co|coral|Damage Control II}} and {{co|coral|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.
−
* The cargo scan will not show any modules fitted to ships in the maintenance bay, which is something you can take advantage of by putting your more costly modules on ships inside the maintenance bay, thus '''hiding''' them from scans, but remember they can still drop.
 
−
* Ships in the maintenance bay cannot have anything in their cargohold except '''charges''' (ie, ammunition and scripts), so modules must be fitted to the ships (but can be offlined) or placed in the Orca's regular '''cargohold''' or '''fleet hangar'''.
 
−
* You can give fleet members access to the ship maintenance bay while in space, allowing them to '''store''', '''launch''' and '''board ships''' directly.
 
−
 
 
−
The ship maintenance bay allows for Orca pilots to bring several small ships or a select few cruiser-hulls. This will allow you to bring several incursion ships, or other ships to use while you wait; like mission/exploration ships. Here's a list of a few ships commonly used and how much room they take up in the maintenance bay.

==== Travel fits ====
 +
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.

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.

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.

Implants.png 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.

Icon dna.png 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 training.png 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 injector.png 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

Alpha clone friendly 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.png Omega clones (times should be doubled when training on an Alpha.png 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

Omega clone restriction 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.

  2. ^ a b Optional - Consider spending an additional 9 days and 19 hours training into the long range specialization as well
  3. ^ Electronic Warfare III is needed for Frequency Modulation and Long Distance Jamming.
  4. ^ 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.
  5. ^ - 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.
  6. ^ 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

Omega clone restriction 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.

Recommended skills for logistics

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

Since the minimum skills only gets you so far, it's important to continue training into the recommended logistics fit for logistics.

Skill List

Listed below are the recommended skills above compiled into a list. It can be copied into your skill queue to train or create a skill plan from. The skills are ordered alphabetically, but feel free to move them around as you see fit.

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

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

Since Icon skillbook2.png 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 Icon skillbook2.png Command Ships V and Icon skillbook2.png Command Burst Specialist V could be convenient.

While you could train Icon skillbook2.png 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 Icon skillbook2.png Leadership V and Icon skillbook2.png 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 ORE 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.

  • Any of the Amarr Magnate, Gallente Imicus, or Minmatar 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.

  • 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.

Less than 4 days and 17 hours worth of training in total for a simple valet alt
  1. ^ Optional - If you need your alt to be able to move a pirate faction battleship (since they require two racial ship skills).
  2. ^ 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 Icon stasis webifier faction.pngFederation Navy Stasis Webifier and for some ships the Icon target painter faction.pngRepublic Fleet Target Painter, which totals about Icon money.png 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.
