Vanguard Incursion fits

Vanguard fittings

Vanguard sites have fairly low damage output, compared to other incursion sites. As such, you often have the luxury of reducing your buffer somewhat in favour of more utility modules. See Preparing for Incursions and Fitting principles for more information on what skills and implants are recommended and the reason behind the fittings.

All fits use Miranda's new template, fits converted from here.

One of the advantages with the new fitting template is that if you view this page in the ingame browser, clicking on any of the modules brings up the ingame show info window for that module. Similarly, clicking the EVE-button will open up a fitting complete with how much ammunition you need and any scripts you need for your modules.

Shields focus

Currently we run almost exclusively shield fleets. Until we find a good solution for armour fleets and what fittings are reasonable to expect people to bring, this page will only show shield-fits so as not to give people the impression that armour fleets are common.

Always bring faction ammunition

We always use faction ammunition in incursions for the added damage compared to regular tech one ammunition. Certain tech two ammunition is used for specific ships or roles, but most of the time you'll be using faction ammunition since it does not suffer the tracking or range penalties most short range tech two ammunitions do.

If you click the EVE-button on the fit it'll show you which type of ammunition you need and how much to bring.

Utility modules

Sometimes your fleet commander will ask you to make minor adjustments, like swapping out a web for a tracking computer. Be sure to read up on utility modules for more details on utility modules.

Don't compromise the recommended 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 matters, every module matters.

A lot of modules may not seem that much better than their meta four counterparts, but in those cases the skills themselves, trained to the level required by the tech two module, is why we require it. By fitting that module we instantly know that you have certain skill trained to a specific level.

Sometimes the skills are needed for something else, like in the case of tech two drones. The drones are better than the tech one variant, but the skills needed for them are also a requirement for maintenance bots which is a security issue. So the reason we ask for tech two scout drones are twofold, both for their efficiency over tech one scout drones as well as the skills being a prerequisite for shield maintenance bots (which can be trained in mere hours once you have the skills for tech two drones).

Improving fits

Naturally it's ok to upgrade to tech two weapons if you can, or use better faction variants of tech two modules. Just remember that while faction and deadspace modules have lower skill requirements compared to tech two modules, they are never to be used to compensate for poor skills. You also need to be aware of the potential risk of putting too much ISK on your ship, from a suicide ganking perspective.

In general, at some point you'll be knowledgeable enough about incursions to do your own little tweeks when it comes to fittings. Perhaps you have several ships and can afford to rig a ship specifically for vanguards and use a different ship for assaults or headquarter sites. At that point, there is naturally room for individual taste and preference, but these fits are tailored to get a good solid ship to run incursions with.

Recommended fits

These fits are recommended fits, able to contribute to fleet efficiency with decent damage 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 may seem slightly compromised, but that is a choice we made to allow people to use the same ship for all the different sites.

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.

Remember that you need to train Targeting V and Multitasking III in order to be able to lock all 10 members of the fleet.

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.

Many battleships are missing in this section, which is intentional. Not all battleships have the necessary base shield hitpoints or midslots to be suitable for incursions and some ships are so situational that they are not ideal for our kitchen-sink fleets. There are also some ships that potentially could work, but the skills required to fly them would allow you to fly a much more suitable ship with better bonuses, or the ISK needed to make them work could be better used to get a far superior hull.

Fleet & Navy Issue Battleships

These ships have stronger base values than their tech one counterparts and often make them more efficient for incursions.

One thing to keep in mind however, is the price of these ships. The navy battleships are nowhere near as good as the pirate faction battleships and you might be better off skipping this ship in favour of saving up for the faction one. But if you have one or intend to re-sell it later, it could be a nice stepping stone between tech one battleships and the pirate faction battleships.

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.

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.

Bug:	The Codebreaker I modules are now called Data Analyzer I, but until they update EFT they should remain as such. Otherwise people can't use the EFT-window and copy the fits. If you click the EVE-button for the ingame fit, you will get the correctly named modules though.

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• Hacking III

NOTES

• The skill Hacking is by far the biggest contributor to efficiency when hacking.
• 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.
• 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

The following ships are preferred for incursions due to a combination of higher base stats, better bonuses and better slot layouts, with the exception of the logistics ships where skills are more of a determining factor.

When it comes to fitting these ships, there are a million and one different ways to do it. Below are just examples of standard fits that are good. Keep in mind that most people have their own preferences and might fit their ships differently, but these are all-round good fits that work well for the kind of fleet compositions we get in the university. Some public communities even have very specific doctrines that works exceptionally well, but only within the confines of their doctrine.

Logistics

In addition to repairing the fleet, logistics can also provide much needed utility once they've trained Logistics V and several other support skills enabling them to use less cap modules, thus freeing up midlots.

Pirate Faction Battleships

These ships are good ships all around, regardless of which type of site you do. Their slot layout is good, plenty of midslots, their ship bonuses are often purely offensive, making them ideal for incursions where tanking bonuses are highly overrated.

While these fits will have tech two weapons and faction modules, it's not strictly a requirement. A pirate faction battleship fitted with the same modules as one of the recommended ships above would perform much better due to the superior hull. So upgrading to one of these ships, even if you don't have tech two guns or the battleship skills trained to V, will be a significant improvement.

• You don't need the rigging skills to fly the ship, someone else can rig it for you.

Strategic Cruisers

Being cruiser hulls some strategic cruisers suffer from the same ailments as other ships with medium weaponry, but the Legion and the Loki stand out.

Legion

The Legion combines powerful short range capabilities with instant-swapping long range capabilities due to how crystals work. Ideal ship if you prefer smaller, more agile ships to the bulkier battleships. Supported by a tracking link this ship is more than capable of applying good damage on the Mara Paleo out at 55 - 60km ranges.

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• Shield Rigging IV (see notes)
• Energy Weapon Rigging IV (see notes)

NOTES

• You don't need the rigging skills to fly the ship, someone else can rig it for you.
• If you feel uncomfortable without a Damage Control II module you could add one, but it isn't needed and would compromise your projected damage.
• You can also use the Augmented Capacitor Reservoir subsystem for increased capacitor, if you need to. It makes it less flexible in terms of upping the tank for higher level sites, but would work with an afterburner-fit.

Loki

The Loki combines multiple webs and extreme tracking, making it a pretty decent ship.

It also has the option to fit for longer webs, which isn't always needed but makes a world of difference in the larger sites, like assaults. For vanguards however, the preferred fit is short webs since our main damage is within boosted webbing range (20-21km), the long webs are largely underutilized.

NOTES

• You don't need the rigging skills to fly the ship, someone else can rig it for you.
• If the fleet doesn't have good skirmish links, you can fit the Immobility Drivers subsystem for long range, but you lose the tracking computer or one of your webs and have to take care not to web things too far from the fleet.

Command Ships

Very few Command Ships have the range and utility needed to make them good for incursions, suffering the same problems as most ships with medium weaponry. The Sleipnir stands out with exceptional tracking, range and damage capabilities.

• A Skirmish Warfare Link - Interdiction Maneuvers II can replace the auto targeter if you have the skills for it and the fleet is missing skirmish links. The Sleipnir doesn't get any hull bonuses however, but it's better than nothing.
