Anatomy of Incursions: Difference between revisions

Once you have the basics of Incursion running down, consider further refining your tactics, or even fitting principles, to improve your fleet's performance. You might want to further increase your safety margin, or maximise your income by completing sites faster and/or winning competitions.

== Adjusting fits ==

The fits we have on the wiki are specifically tailored to suit our normal kitchen sink fleets, so that we don't have to cherry-pick ships to get a functioning fleet. For example that's why all battleships have a sensor booster and at least one web for vanguards, why we ensure that people have a solid tank and range projection in assaults sites. Naturally there is room for improvement here, based on the fleet composition.

An offensively strong vanguard fleet could drop the damage control or invulnerability field in favour of a tracking enhancer or a tracking computer. If the fleet has lots of '''Vindicators''' with bonuses webs you could perhaps have some of the other ships refit to target painters, double sensor boosters or more tracking computers. Just make sure that you have enough webs to cover all primary targets and that you don't compromise the tank too much.

In assaults you can allow experienced pilots the freedom to fit for short range and a microwarpdrive, allowing them to roam about and web things down. This of course assumes that utility cap is available or that the pilot is skilled enough to be able to keep himself from capping out. You can also allow for high skilled players to take off their large shield extenders in favour of a tracking computer, if their resists are high enough and their base shield hit points are within acceptable limits.

For the majority of our fleets there's little need to go this far. Our kitchen sink fleets, with people coming in and out, are often ill suited for this level of micromanaging. That doesn't mean that it can't be a great tool when you end up getting lots of high skilled players in pirate faction battleships.
