===Hull===

The first and probably most important decision is to pick the hull to use. ~~Most~~ Tier 2 BC hulls are fine. Namely the [[Drake]], [[Harbinger]], [[Hurricane]], and [[Myrmidon]]. The Tier 1 hulls tend to simply be worse version of the Tier 2 hull. Though this is not universally the case. The Tier 3 BC hulls don’t have a big enough tank to be used in Incursions and should be avoided. The next step is to add the Tech 2 Tank modules.

The first and probably most important decision is to pick the hull to use. New pilots need to make the choice between BCs and BSs. While BSs have a slightly longer training time by a few days, the benefits are very high. The improvement in damage of BSs over BCs is large, to the extent that a low skill Tech I BS can out damage a Tech II BC. Further BS have bigger tanks and more utility slots making them more versatile.

For BCs, most Tier 2 hulls are fine. Namely the [[Drake]], [[Harbinger]], [[Hurricane]], and [[Myrmidon]]. The Tier 1 hulls tend to simply be worse version of the Tier 2 hull. Though this is not universally the case. The Tier 3 BC hulls don’t have a big enough tank to be used in Incursions and should be avoided. The next step is to add the Tech 2 Tank modules.

For BSs Tier 3 hulls tend to be the best due to higher stats.

==== Shield Hulls ====

*[[Harbinger]] 2nd best Weapon Damage, versatile weapon system, good drone bay, hard fitting requirements

*Battlecruisers

*[[Hurricane]] Best damage, 1-2x ET, Small signature resolution, small drone bay

**[[Harbinger]] 2nd best Weapon Damage, versatile weapon system, good drone bay, hard fitting requirements

*[[Drake]] 2-3 Mid-utility, longest range, best Tank, small drone bay, 2nd lowest primary weapon damage

**[[Hurricane]] Best damage, 1-2x ET, Small signature resolution, small drone bay

*[[Brutix]] Good damage when T2 fit, Poor T1 fit, good drone bay, worst tank

**[[Drake]] 2-3 Mid-utility, longest range, best Tank, small drone bay, 2nd lowest primary weapon damage

*[[Myrmidon]] Best drones, 1 utility mid-slot, Lowest primary weapon damage, worst tank

**[[Brutix]] Good damage when T2 fit, Poor T1 fit, good drone bay, worst tank

**[[Myrmidon]] Best drones, 1 utility mid-slot, Lowest primary weapon damage, worst tank

*Battleships

**[[Abaddon]]

**[[Rokh]]

**[[Megathron]]

**[[Maelstrom]]

The [[Harbinger]] is a good damage dealing hull for Incursions. This hull has the 2nd highest primary weapon damage for all the T1 fits and this can be augmented due to a large drone bay. Also the Harbinger's damage is flexible due to using lasers. This also means the Harbinger is the only Battlecruiser which can carry a stack of Lyavite. The biggest downside of this weapon system is capacitor use, and lack of capacitor stability when T2 fit. The drone bay can fit two full flights of light drones, allowing one of Light Shield Maintenance Bots and one of Hobgoblins. The biggest downside is the tight fitting requirements, leading to a slightly weaker than average tank.
