===Hull===

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.

For BSs Tier 3 hulls tend to be the best due to higher stats. Missile hulls like the [[Raven]] are not usable in Vanguards due to poor damage against frigates and cruisers.
