The '''Machariel''', '''Nightmare''' and '''Vindicator''' | The '''Machariel''', '''Nightmare''', and '''Vindicator''' are the preferred ''intermediate hulls''for incursions due to a combination of higher base stats, better bonuses and better slot layouts as compared to T1 battleships and the Praxis. | ||
Some of these have a natural progression, like the [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Maelstrom|Maelstrom]] pilot only needing {{sk|Gallente Battleship}} to move into a '''Machariel''' and a [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Hyperion|Hyperion]] pilot only needing to train {{sk|Minmatar Battleship}} to get into the '''Vindicator'''. Left a bit on the side is the [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Rokh|Rokh]] with a low priority synergy with the '''Nightmare''' given the {{sk|Caldari Battleship}} skill and a slightly stronger synergy with the '''Vindicator''' given that they both use the {{sk|Large Hybrid Turret}} skill for their guns. | Some of these have a natural progression, like the [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Maelstrom|Maelstrom]] pilot only needing {{sk|Gallente Battleship}} to move into a '''Machariel''' and a [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Hyperion|Hyperion]] pilot only needing to train {{sk|Minmatar Battleship}} to get into the '''Vindicator'''.

In almost all cases, upgrading your hull should be your first goal if you're looking to invest more ISK. Generally speaking for hisec, while faction and deadspace modules are great, pirate faction hulls often give superior bonuses without inflating the value of droppable modules fit to your ship. In the case of Incursions specifically, the matter comes down to the pirate faction battleships having two damage bonuses and powerful role bonuses (instead of having an offensive and a defensive bonus), plus much better overall ship stats such as align time. | In almost all cases, upgrading your hull should be your first goal if you're looking to invest more ISK.
