= Fit Progression = | |||
For the most part, fit progression is really only relevant for high-end ships like the three pirate faction battleships mentioned above. Logistics ships use pretty much the same rigs, changing only a few modules based on their desired fit. Remember that upgrading from a regular battleship to a pirate faction battleship alone is a big upgrade and the best use of your ISK for the initial upgrade. | For the most part, fit progression is really only relevant for high-end ships like the three pirate faction battleships mentioned above.

== Injecting implants == | |||
There are plenty of hardwiring implants that are useful for incursion runners, with effects ranging from damage projection (tracking, damage or rate of fire) to fitting/support related effects (increased capacitor, powergrid or CPU) and warp speed. The bonuses from implants do not suffer stacking penalties, thus even the +3% variants are quite potent and cheap enough to use even while at war due to the low risk of actually losing your pod. | |||
The best hardwiring implants (apart from officer implants) come from the [[Loyalty_Points#CONCORD_loyalty_points|CONCORD Loyalty Point]] store and give a +6% bonus but require {{sk|Cybernetics|V}}. Implants are available for all skills and wallets however, ranging from the 1%, 3% and 5% implants of normal LP stores to the CONCORD specific 2%, 4% and 6% implants. | |||
As with all things, do your research and see if it's cheaper to simply buy it off of the market instead of getting it yourself from the LP store. See [[List of Skill Hardwiring Implants|hardwiring implants]] for a full list of available implants. | |||
See the [[EVE University Incursion Community Implant Guide|Incursion Community Implant Guide]] for more information about recommended implants. This guide will cover the two types of implants that we suggest: Skill Hardwiring (slots 6-10) and Attribute Enhancing (slots 1-5). These implants are not required to fly in our community, but they do greatly improve ship performance. In order to use any of the implants listed in this guide, you will need to have the Cybernetics skill trained to at least level V. This will allow you to use 6% implants, which can be purchased with Concord Loyalty Points (LP) earned by running Incursions. These implants can be found at Concord Stations and cost 250 million ISK and 250,000 LP. | |||

Long range weapons and propulsion modules in particular put a lot of strain on your '''power grid''' while tech two weapons and damage upgrades require a lot of '''CPU'''. This is not an issue early on, but as you move into assaults and headquarters, you might need to train skills that reduce the power grid and CPU requirements as well as improving the base output of your ship. | Long range weapons and propulsion modules in particular put a lot of strain on your '''power grid''' while tech two weapons and damage upgrades require a lot of '''CPU'''.

= Planning ahead = | |||
Unless you are already heavily invested into a certain race or weapon system, it might be a good idea to think of which logistics ship, strategic cruiser or pirate faction battleship you'll want in the end, rather than what your first incursion ship should be. Don't worry too much about it though, as the race specific ship and weapon skills you train for the minimum skills only amount to a little over five days worth of training. So changing your mind along the way wouldn't be much of a detour. | |||
Depending on the race, training for strategic cruisers will make quite some progress towards being able to fly logistics as well, or the other way around if your goal is to fly logistics. That said, most strategic cruisers pale in comparison to the pirate faction battleships who remain the epitome of incursion boats. | |||
== Synergy == | |||
You should also consider secondary value of whatever you train, perhaps you can find an end-of-the-line ship that not only furthers your goals for incursions but other goals as well given the skills you'll end up training for it. If you already know that you like smaller ships, or have plans for diving into a wormhole in the future, it would make much more sense training into a strategic cruiser than a pirate faction battleship. | |||
So take some time to consider which racial ship line, what racial weapons would benefit you doing missions, exploration, PvP or whatever else you'd like to do in EVE. | |||
