Incursion fitting principles Battleship setups

Below are some examples of tank setups for battleships; both the setups we use for our minimum fits as well as some advanced ones for high-end ships. The sections show the variance between tanking features of the ship, notably midslots but also rigs or other in-built resistances.

In order to highlight the transition of each type of fit from vanguards to headquarters, each setup will not only show the vanguard fit in question, but also how it works if you take off some tank as well as what's needed to make that setup work for assaults and headquarters.

Minimum setup

This is the minimum skill setup that we use within our community and these provide the basis for the fits we provide at the Vanguard Incursion fits page. It is designed to cheap and flexible enough to be useful in a variety of different sites. For assaults and headquarters, we often use a Large Shield Extender II to ensure that everyone has enough buffer, even with the minimum skills we require.

This assumes our minimum skills so the EM resist can be up to 2% higher with EM Shield Compensation V instead of III.

Resist bonused ships

Ships like the Rokh with resist bonuses can fit slightly different due to their higher base resistances.

This assumes our minimum skills so the various resist can be up to 3% higher with Caldari Battleship V instead of III and in the case of the headquarter fit with the EM amplifier, additional EM resist can be gained by training EM Shield Compensation V.

Advanced fits

While there are several ways to fit high-end ships for incursions, here are some frequently used variants. These largely revolve around swapping in the rigs, as mentioned in the Rigging choice section above.

Calibration

Due to the limit of calibration points, there are several combinations available. Here are some common ones.

Slots	Offensive	Defensive	Warp speed
	Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Large Hybrid Burst Aerator II	Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer II Spare rig slot Spare rig slot	Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II Large Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II Spare rig slot
SUM	350/350 (0 points left)	75/350 (275 points left)	150/350 (200 points left)

Filling up the spare rig slots is a matter of figuring out what rig benefits you the most, based on the type of fleet compositions you run, what kind of ship you fly and if a rig can in some way help you free up a low- or midslot. If you need more range use a Locus Coordinator II rig (150 points), if you need more shield hit points use a Core Defense Field Extender II rig (75 points) and if you need more cap use either a Capacitor Control Circuit II rig (150 points) or a Discharge Elutriation II rig (150 points).

Just remember that any offensive rig you fit on your ship needs to be tech two, otherwise it'll end up at the end of stacking penalties and that will render it completely useless.

Thermal rig

The thermal rig setup is primarily a more defensive setup, used for even resists with the ability to really push the resists up. The downside of this setup is that you're forced to use two midslots and cannot drop down to one midslot for vanguards. Depending on what other rigs you use, you'll have enough calibration points to upgrade to a tech two anti-thermal rig further increasing your tank.

This assumes our minimum skills so the EM resist can be up to 2% higher with EM Shield Compensation V instead of III.

Electromagnetic rig

The EM rig setup is primarily used to free up as many slots are possible, but requires you to spend considerably more ISK on deadspace hardeners and will still have considerably lower resists for vanguards.
