== Command Ships ==

Very few Command Ships have the range and utility needed to make them good for incursions in general, suffering the same problems as most ships with medium weaponry. But for the most part they can be fitted quite nicely for [[Incursion sites#Vanguard sites|vanguards]] and in some cases even for [[Incursion sites#Assault sites|assaults]].

While better than standard battleships for vanguards, they are nowhere near as good as pirate faction battleships and usually suffer in terms of utility slots and small drone bays. That said, they could serve as a nice option for people who either have no interest in battleships or for those who already trained and flies Command Ships for other purposes, outside incursions.

== Strategic cruisers ==

Being cruiser hulls some strategic cruisers suffer from the same ailments as other ships with medium weaponry, but can often compensate by using long range weapons since the loss of pure tracking is often offset by the lower signature of medium weapons. They are also perfect for the [[Nation Consolidation Network]] assault sites, where the fleet splits up and parts of the fleet go through a gate only allowing cruiser-sized hulls.
