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. |
Vanguard fittings
The fits used by the EVE University Incursion Community focus around our need to be able to clear warp disrupt capable ships first, which are often small and hard to hit frigates. This sets us apart from most communities, in that we often favour short range and high tracking with multiple webs and painters, as opposed to the more common long range setups with dedicated webbers that other communities use.
It is recommended that you visit this page after reading Preparing for Incursions and Incursion fitting principles. These articles will guide you to a fuller understanding of how the modules in the fits below work, and together, meet the task of engaging small ships effectively. These articles also detail the theory and reasoning behind the fittings below, and additional information such as what skills are needed, what implants are recommended and the like, is also placed there.
Finally, the four guidelines below are vital to the success of the fleet. Please bear them in mind when fitting your first ship.
Shields focus
|
In the EVE University Incursion Community we run shield fleets, primarily due to the fact that it's slightly faster to train the shield skills but also because we want our pilots to be able to fly with the majority of the public communities as well. See shield vs armour doctrines for more information. |
Bring Lyavite
|
All the fits have had their ammo adjusted to make sure they have room for a stack of Lyavite (255 units, 306 m3 worth of cargo space), so before you undock to join the fleet, make sure you have a stack with you (see acquisition for information on how to get some). One stack is used per site, so everyone must carry a stack. The lyavite is jettisoned during the site and given to the logistics runner, who use it to finish the Nation Mining Colony site (only this vanguard site needs it). |
Don't compromise these fits
|
We've already tried to downscale and reduce the skill requirements as much as we can for these fits, but at the end of the day the content you're about to join in on is high-end PvE content. Your individual performance is very important as we have a limited amount of people in the fleet, so every skill and module matters. |
Improving fits
|
These fits are tailored in order to get a solidly tanked ship with a good level of performance, for you to begin running incursions. However, there is room for individual taste and preference. See the ship progression page as well as the upgrade priorities section of the fitting principles page for more guidance on progression in terms of ship upgrades and fits as well as skills. |
All fits use Miranda's template which is easily used with the help of Pehuen's parser. If you click the EFT button you will open up a text box with the complete list of modules, charges and drones for the fit. This can then be copied to import directly into your favourite third-party fitting program. Be sure to read the SKILLS and NOTES section as well, they contain valuable information about the fit and if there are any common tweaks you could do.
Minimum fits
These fits are minimum fits, able to contribute to fleet efficiency. The logistics are cap stable under minimum skills (but please check to be sure), while the battleships bring decent damage and projection, utility modules, and drones.
Some of the rigging choices may seem weird for these fits, but they are all chosen to allow for extreme flexibility in refitting between Vanguards, Assaults as well as Headquarter sites. As such, some fits you see here may seem slightly compromised, but that is a choice we made to allow people to use the same ship for all the different sites. If you have a substantially similar incursions rig that is already attached to your ship, please do not feel obliged to switch those incursion rigs out in order to run with us.
Logistics
The entry-level for logistics is pretty high, simply because they are the backbone of the fleet. Due to the limited number of capsuleers in the fleet each logistics pilot needs to be of a much higher caliber in order to keep the number of logistic ships to a minimum, allowing for as many damage dealers as possible.

- All the required skills for logistics
- You could use capacitor implants to help you get cap stable, or powergrid implants to get more powergrid without having all the required skills. Using implants in this manner is ok, as long as you don't compromise the fit in some other way.
- Only one of the logistics need the Afterburner, so the other logi can replace it with a Remote Tracking Computer II (or the more expensive Serpentis-faction variant).
- You can upgrade to four tech two reppers with the following skills:
Power Grid Management V (4 days, 6 hours) Capacitor Systems Operation V (4 days, 6 hours) Shield Emission Systems V (8 days, 12 hours) - After you've gotten all tech two reppers, train into the advanced fit below as soon as possible.

- The Caldari Navy EM Ward Field can be replaced by a regular tech two if you've trained CPU Management V.
- Only one of the logistics need the Afterburner, so the other logi can replace it with a Remote Tracking Computer II (or the more expensive Serpentis-faction variant).
- Training into the advanced fit below is useful if you want the option to fit a fifth repper and rely on only one incoming remote capacitor transmitter, but it'll require that your cap buddy is equally skilled and can manage with just one incoming transmitter as well.

Battleships
Battleships bring enough utility midslots for sensor boosters, webs and potentially tracking computers and sometimes even utility highslots and their large weaponry offer the necessary damage projection.

Pirate faction battleships
So long as pirate faction battleship prices remain reasonably low, they are the single most efficient way to make our fleets both safer and more effective. The role bonuses and higher base values alone make these ships far superior to tech one ships, so regardless of your skill level they are an immediate upgrade. See upgrade priority for more information.
If you are not comfortable with the cost of these ships, you can also improve your efficiency (and thus making our fleets even safer) by continuing to use our minimum tech one ships above but train into tech two guns and improve your support skills. See the recommended skills for more information.

- All the required skills for damage dealers
- The Caldari Battleship skill can favourably be left at Level 1, as it only gives you an afterburner bonus (which we do not use in incursions).
- The EM Ward Amplifier II is primarily used to allow you to refit for assaults more easily. You can continue to use the regular EM Ward Field II for vanguards, if you wish.
- Tachyon Beam Lasers (long range) can often work for vanguards, thanks to the Nightmare's strong tracking bonuses. So feel free to carry a set of tachyons with you and ask the fleet commander which he prefers.
- Since laser weapons can change crystals relatively fast, it's highly recommended to carry at least two different sets of crystals, preferably three for various ranges.
- Once you can use tech two lasers, upgrade to either Mega Pulse Laser II and use your Imperial Navy Multifrequency L along with Conflagration L and Scorch L, or Tachyon Beam Laser II with Imperial Navy Multifrequency L, Gleam L and whichever crystal gets you decent range at 60-70km, usually Imperial Navy Gamma L or Imperial Navy Xray L.

- All the required skills for damage dealers
(including the secondary battleship skill) - The Minmatar Battleship is by far the most important skill to improve, as it improves the effectiveness of your webs.
- The EM Ward Amplifier II is primarily used to allow you to refit for assaults more easily. You can continue to use the regular EM Ward Field II for vanguards, if you wish.
- Both Federation Navy and Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L ammo work for incursions, as the only difference is the name. Pick whichever is cheapest.
- Once you can use tech two hybrids, upgrade to Neutron Blaster Cannon II guns and carry Null L for long range but keep faction ammo for short range.
- Omega clones can train Repair Drone Operation III and use Heavy Drone Maintenance Bots instead of mediums.
Ongrid booster
Having a command ship with command bursts will always be more valuable than any other option for vanguards. The EVE University Incursion Community runs with a single booster to ensure that their fleets can run safely. See the Anatomy of Incursions page for more information on the effects of ongrid boosting.
Sleipnir
While both the 
Sleipnir and Claymore can be used for ongrid boosting in vanguards, the Sleipnir is simply the better choice. The turret-based weaponry of the Sleipnir is far more suitable to incursions than the Claymore's missile-based weaponry.

Hacker
Hacking is required for one of the vanguard sites, the Override Transfer Array. A cheap ship on an alt is preferred, as there is little to gain by using more advanced hulls. This ship naturally fills the role of a scout as well, but that doesn't require you to fly anything special or fit any particular modules. See Hacker/Scout for more information on how to perform this role.
Hacking in incursions doesn't use the minigame, but instead uses the old method where each module has a chance of successfully hacking the logistics control array. This is why in exploration you only need one data analyzer, but in incursion hacking you need as many as you can fit.
Heron
It doesn't necessarily need to be a 
Heron, but it is one of the most useful ships and the basics for fitting a hacker remains the same regardless of hull. Microwarpdrive and as many Data Analyzer modules as you can fit and some Memetic Algorithm Bank rigs for increased hacking chance.

- You'll need Caldari Frigate I to fly this ship.
(~15 minutes worth of training) - Hacking III (optional, 11 hours and 14 minutes)
- The skill Hacking is by far the biggest contributor to efficiency when hacking, consider training it to III as it's a very quick train that gives a big performance boost.
- Being able to fit Data Analyzer II modules is nice, but usually overkill as the skill-level needed to fit those modules would make your regular tech one modules more than good enough. Plus, four tech one modules with Hacking III is usually enough to get the hack on the first or second try.
- 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.
Advanced fits
There are many ways to improve past the minimum fits, but for many reasons there will be no advanced fits with expensive faction or deadspace modules on this page, apart from those we need, like faction webs.
- The more advanced fits are often tailored to specific communities or fleet compositions in order to maximize efficiency by capitalizing on their individual strengths while working around their weaknesses. This means that fits that are perfect for one community might not work or even be acceptable by another community's standards.
- We want to encourage people to talk to us about how to improve, so you get the much needed context surrounding certain fits; how and why they work. Without that it's very easy to miss what makes or breaks certain fits and you could end up being forced to rip out expensive rigs or replace expensive modules to "fix" your fit.
- We do not want to indirectly encourage people to spend a lot of ISK on costly modules or expensive ships until they have a good understanding of how to fit for incursions and how to capitalize on the strengths of various ships.
See the ship progression in Incursions and fitting principles articles (especially the upgrade priority section) for more information about high-end ships and the kind of questions you need to ask yourself before you start spending your ISK on new ships and modules.
