{{note box|Out of all the '''pirate faction battleships''' the [[Machariel]], [[Nightmare]] and [[Vindicator]] stand out with their suitable slot layout and multiple offensive damage bonuses as well as good role bonuses especially suitable to both damage projection and application. The fits recommend a cheap and flexible offensive setup that differs a little bit from that of the tech one battleships, but otherwise follow our usual [[Incursion fitting principles|fitting principles]]. For more specific information about your rig options and general ship fit progression, see the [[Incursion_fitting_principles#Rigging_choice|rigging choice]], [[Ship_progression_in_Incursions#Fit_progression|fit progression]] and [[Incursion_fitting_principles#Utility_modules|utility mids]] sections.}}

While both the [[Sleipnir]] and [[Claymore]] can be used for ongrid boosting in vanguards, the Sleipnir is simply the better choice. The turret-based weaponry of the Sleipnir is far more suitable to incursions than the Claymore's missile-based weaponry.

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 and some '''Memetic Algorithm Bank''' rigs for increased hacking chance.

notes=The skill {{sk|Hacking|icon=yes}} is by far the biggest contributor to efficiency when hacking, consider training '''Hacking III''' at it's a very quick train that gives a big performance boost.</li><li>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. Plus, four tech one modules with '''Hacking III''' is usually enough to get the hack on the first or second try.</li><li>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.}}}}<noinclude>

For [[Clone States|Alpha clones]] you can easily utilize the [[Venture]] as an option either of them can fly, as they all start with {{sk|Mining Frigate|I|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Hacking|I|icon=yes}} for free. So this ship could by flown by anyone, regardless of race and skillpoints (at the cost of taking twice as long to hack due to limited midslots).

It's also possible to use the racial frigates, such as the {{icon|amarr2|20}}[[Crucifier]], {{icon|gallente2|20}}[[Maulus]] or the {{icon|minmatar2|20}}[[Vigil]]. You would just adjust the fit by filling any extra midslots with more data analyzers and any extra lows with nanofibers.
