The [[Harbinger]] is a good damage dealing hull for | The [[Harbinger]] is a good damage dealing hull for Incursion BCs. 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. | ||
The [[Hurricane]] has the best primary weapon damage capabilities, but limited range due to using projectile turrets. It is the only hull that can fit an Energy Transfer or second weapon system; the former making it a Logistics pilot's best friend. The drone bay is of an odd size allowing 6 light or 1 medium and 4 light drones. The Hurricane is relatively easy to fit, and has a low signature resolution, giving it a good tank. | The [[Hurricane]] has the best primary weapon damage capabilities of the BCs, but limited range due to using projectile turrets.

The [[Drake]] has the best tank of any BC that runs incursions. Further it has the best damage projection of any hull option. It is expected that Drake pilots can hit the Maras in OTAs and NMCs. This requires a range of over 60km. To achieve this a [[Drake]] pilot should have a III and a IV between [[Skills:Missiles#Missile_Projection|Missile Projection]] and [[Skills:Missiles#Missile_Bombardment|Missile Bombardment]]. Further the Drake has 6 mid slots, the most of any BC. This means that Drake pilots are expected to equip and use both Stasis Webifiers and Target Painters. Initially the pilot can only equip 2 due to needing 2x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II's, but at [[Skills:Spaceship Command#Battlecruisers|Battlecruisers]] IV only one is necessary, so 3 should be fitted. 2 Webs and 1 TP are recommended. | The [[Drake]] has the best tank of any BC that runs incursions.
