User:Paxte Eriker/sandbox/E-Uni INC Community Fits and Skills

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.

This is a work-in-progress page.

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 favor 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.

Armour focus

In the EVE University Incursion Community we run armour fleets because most HQ communities now run armour tank.

Bring Lyavite

Do we still care about people putting a stack in their battleships?

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 in-game Fitting tool. 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 favorite 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.

Damage Dealer Ships

These fits are minimum fits, able to contribute to fleet efficiency. 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.

Entry Level (T1) Battleships

Praxis

Unlike other ships with fits listed here, the Praxis is not used by Headquarters communities due to its low speed and base HP. As a consequence, the fits below are rigged for use in Vanguards only.

The  Praxis has some upsides over the other T1 battleships listed, namely having seven mid and low slots, an ample drone bay with room for both lights and sentries, and a drone damage bonus. This also means that it can support energy turrets while also having spare mid slots for application. However, it has less resists versus kinetic/explosive damage, and low buffer.

SKILLS

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• All the required skills for damage dealers
•  Sentry Drone Interfacing (optional, for sentry drones)

NOTES

• 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 Mega Pulse Laser II and use your Imperial Navy Multifrequency L along with Conflagration L and Scorch L.
• Omega clones can train  Repair Drone Operation III and use Heavy Drone Maintenance Bots instead of mediums.
• Federation Navy Gardes are not usable by Alpha clones. Imperial Navy Acolytes can be used instead.
• Gardes have higher damage output than light drones, but with very poor tracking. Depending on the fleet composition, the FC may ask for either light drones or sentries.

SKILLS

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• All the required skills for damage dealers
•  Sentry Drone Interfacing (optional, for sentry drones)

NOTES

• Either of the Federation Navy or 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.
• Federation Navy Gardes are not usable by Alpha clones. Imperial Navy Acolytes can be used instead.
• Gardes have higher damage output than light drones, but with very poor tracking. Depending on the fleet composition, the FC may ask for either light drones or sentries.

Intermediate (Pirate Faction) Battleships

The EVE University Incursion Community doesn't require unistas to use fancy hulls due to the constant threat of war. Pilots who take the necessary precautions are of course allowed to, but should do so of their own free will being aware of the risk.

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.

Out of all the pirate faction battleships, the  Vindicator stands out with its best-in-class application support bonuses, seeing usage in nearly all Incursion groups. The  Machariel,  Nightmare are also excellent hulls, with good bonuses and slot layout, but have fallen behind their more powerful Marauder counterparts. The fits below recommend a cheap and flexible offensive setup that differs a little bit from that of the tech one battleships, but otherwise follow our usual fitting principles. For more specific information about your rig options and general ship fit progression, see the rigging choice, fit progression and utility mids sections.

As of October 2022, both the  Machariel and  Nightmare are either not accepted by headquarters groups, or considered intermediate ships with an upgrade deadline to move to an optimal hull after a number of fleet hours. Further, unlike the Vindicator or Nightmare, the Mach is only accepted by shield groups, and typically require T2 autocannons at minimum. Please take this into consideration if you are looking into either hull.

SKILLS

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• 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.

NOTES

• 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 Shield Maintenance Bots instead of mediums.
• This fit places greater emphasis on the Vindicator's webbing abilities over the single web, burst aerator fit previously recommended. The previous fit remains acceptable, as does its rig setup.
• A tech one EM Shield Reinforcer can be used in place of the tech two listed.

SKILLS

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• 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).

NOTES

• 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 they prefer.
• 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.
• If using tech two pulse lasers or tachyons, it is recommended to replace a heat sink or the tracking enhancer with a Capacitor Power Relay II, or else a cap chain will be needed to maintain cap stability.
• Should a lack of  Vindicators in fleet be noted, swap a sensor booster or tracking computer for a web.

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• All the required skills for damage dealers
  (including the secondary battleship skill)

NOTES

• Either of the Republic Fleet EMP L, Fusion or Phased Plasma ammo work for incursions, as their only difference is type of damage and Sansha are omni tanked. Pick whichever is cheapest.
• Once you can use tech two projectiles, upgrade to 800mm Repeating Cannon II guns but stick with the faction ammo.
• Omega clones can train  Repair Drone Operation III and use Heavy Drone Maintenance Bots instead of mediums.
• Pilots can choose between a Republic Fleet Target Painter for improved application, or an Alamel-Wired Enduring Sensor Booster to lower lock times.
• Should a lack of  Vindicators in fleet be noted, swap a tracking computer for a web.

Advanced (Faction) Battleships

Nightmare

Vindicator

Optimal (Marauder) Battleships

remote assistance while active, Bastion Marauders require a local tank to safely use.

Some things to keep in mind:

• If you are new to Incursions, we recommend against starting in a Marauder, as it imposes higher pilot skill requirements compared to other ships. Consider a  Vindicator or  Nightmare instead, or take advantage of our T1 Battleship loaner program. These fits are made with the expectation that the pilot is experienced in running Incursion sites.

• Set Auto-Repeat off on the Bastion Module and Shield Booster. The X-Large reppers are very cap hungry, and can easily cap out the ship if left unattended. Also, disabling auto-repeat on Bastion allows the logi to rep a Marauder in case of a disconnect.

• None of these fits include Stasis Webifiers, as it is assumed that there will be other ships with webs to do the job better. An all Marauder comp will not do in a Uni fleet, and it is expected that the FC will keep tabs on the web capability of their fleet.
