None of the Amarr BSs are well suited for Shield Incursions. Further, none of the BSs will be able to bring Mid Slot utility modules when shield tanked, unlike most other BSs. Looking at the individual ships, the [[Armageddon]] does not have enough Mid Slots to be shield tanked. Both the [[Abaddon]] and [[Apocalypse]] have capacitor problems, but are usable. The [[Abaddon]] cannot fit a full wrack of lasers as it needs at ET to have its capacitor last for longer than a few minutes. Unfortunately, the [[Apocalypse]] can't fit a full wrack of T2 lasers without a CPU Rig or implant. Finally, the damage is lacking compared to a Minmatar projectile BS. | None of the Amarr BSs are well suited for Shield Incursions.

The only Caldari BS suitable for Vanguards is the [[ | The only Caldari BS suitable for Vanguards is the [[Rokh]]. Both the [[Raven]] and [[Scorpion]] use large missiles which are very ineffective against frigates and cruisers. The [[Rokh]]'s bonuses are not the best for damage, but it has a very good tank. Further a Pilot with BS V has the option to swap an Invulnerability field for another utility module. | ||
All the Gallente BSs have bonuses to Hybrid Turret damage. The [[Megathron]] is preferred because it also has a bonus to tracking speed, which is very relevant against frigates. The [[Hyperion]]'s bonus to armor repair is irrelevant in Incursions as there are always Logistics ships, but it does have the potential for a better Shield tank than the [[Megathron]] due to higher base shield HP and an extra mid slot. The [[Dominix]] is also sub-optimal because it has the fewest turret points, it has low base shield HP, and it relies on Drones for most of its damage. | All the Gallente BSs have bonuses to Hybrid Turret damage.

For the Minmatar the [[Maelstrom]] deals more damage than the [[Tempest]] until a pilot has Minmatar Battleship V. (At this point the pilot should consider the [[Tempest Fleet Issue]].) In addition the [[Maelstrom]] has 6 mid slots instead of 5, making it easier to fit a shield tank and utility modules. | For the Minmatar the [[Maelstrom]] deals more damage than the [[Tempest]] until a pilot has Minmatar Battleship V.
