Vanguard Incursion fits: Difference between revisions

{{note box|Out of all the '''pirate faction battleships''' the {{sh|Machariel}}, {{sh|Nightmare}} and {{sh|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.}}

 

{{Color box|color=sienna|border=sandybrown|As of February 2022, the Machariel is only considered an optimal hull by shield headquarters groups, unlike the {{sh|Vindicator}} and {{sh|Nightmare}} which are accepted by both shield and armor groups. Further, Warp to Me mandates tech two autocannons on their fits. Please take this into consideration if you are looking into the Mach.}}

The Amarr T1 Exploration frigate, the [[Magnate]], is useful for transporting your ammo, sensor booster scripts and targeting scripts. The four low slots can be filled with expanded cargoholds to maximize carrying capacity and, since the Magnate is a frigate, it can be transported in the [[Battleships#Frigate_Escape_Bay|frigate escape bay]] of a battleship. Unfortunately, the ship cannot be put in the frigate escape bay unless it only contains charges (such as ammo and scripts). This means you can't use this method for transporting Lyavite or spare drones.
