While the exact fits vary between communities as well as fleet compositions, there are a few common grounds for using utility mids. In vanguards, the sensor boosters allow you to lock up the much smaller frigates more quickly, webs are used to help apply damage to enemies that come close, while painters and tracking computers help apply damage at range. The same can be said for assaults and headquarters, although the need for sensor boosters rapidly diminish as you move on from vanguards, as there are fewer frigates in assaults and headquarter sites, reducing the need for sensor boosters. They are sometimes only needed on dronebunnies or to push your locking range.

Utility highs are selected based on individual ship needs or what type of logistics you have. A fleet with scimitars will often focus on remote shield boosters on battleships with utility highs for emergencies, unless individual ships require a cap chain in order to have enough cap (like certain nightmare fits). A fleet with basilisks might need a few spare remote capacitor transmitters amongst their damage dealers, in case one of the basilisks disconnects and they need someone else to establish a cap chain with. The auto targeting module (extra locks) and drone link augmentor (to push drone control range far enough to reach enemies where they spawn) are rare options, but used in case you don't need more remote shield boosters or remote capacitor transmitters.

As for utility drones, you have the choice of replacing some of your damage dealing drones with maintenance bots, or carry both, for emergencies.

==== Standard loadout for the EVE University Incursion Community ====

In the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] we focus primarily on the ability to get rid of warp disrupt capable ships, which are mostly frigates. That means we require a [[image:icon_sensor_booster_ii.png|18px|Sensor Booster]] {{co|coral|Sensor Booster II}} on all battleships, to both improve locking times on frigates, but also to allow them to lock up the logistics in case of an emergency. Since we cater to low skilled pilots and people new to incursions, we also focus a lot on having at least one [[image:icon_stasis_webifier_faction.png|18px|Webbing]]{{co|coral|Federation Navy Stasis Webifier}} on all the damage dealers in fleet, to ensure that we have more than enough webs to go around.

Additional utility midslots are recommended to be filled like this:

* [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Maelstrom|Maelstroms]] and [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Rokh|Rokhs]] fit a [[image:icon_target_painter_faction.png|18px|Target painting]]{{co|coral|Republic Fleet Target Painter}} or a second [[image:icon_stasis_webifier_faction.png|18px|Webbing]]{{co|coral|Federation Navy Stasis Webifier}}.

* [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Nightmare|Nightmares]] and [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Machariel|Machariels]] fit a [[image:icon_target_painter_faction.png|18px|Target painting]]{{co|coral|Republic Fleet Target Painter}} and fill out the rest with [[image:icon_tracking_computer_ii.png|18px|Tracking computer]]{{co|coral|Tracking Computers}}.

* [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Vindicator|Vindicators]] fit more [[image:icon_stasis_webifier_faction.png|18px|Webbing]]{{co|coral|Federation Navy Stasis Webifiers}} and perhaps a [[image:icon_tracking_computer_ii.png|18px|Tracking computer]]{{co|coral|Tracking Computer}}.

When in doubt, just follow the recommended fits on the [[Vanguard Incursion fits|Vanguard]] and [[Assault Incursion fits|Assault]] fitting pages or ask your '''fleet commander''' for advice. See [[Anatomy of Incursions]] for more information on how you can change these modules around for different tactics based on your fleet composition.
