*[[Maelstrom]]

None of the Amarr BSs are well suited for Shield Incursions. The one thing they bring that no other BS can is sufficient range to hit the Mara with Pulse Lasers. Unfortunately, none of the BSs will be able to bring Mid Slot utility modules when shield tanked, unlike most other BSs. This means that all have problems with tracking due to the low tracking of lasers and the inability to fit tracking computers. 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~~. ~~The~~ [[Apocalypse]] has good capacitor life with high skills~~. For low skills the [[Abaddon]] is recommended because the [[Apocalypse]] needs a capacitor module in its low slot, meaning the [[Abbadon]] has better damage, even tough it needs an ET~~.

Looking at the individual ships, the [[Armageddon]] does not have enough Mid Slots to be shield tanked. The [[Abaddon]]'s capacitor problems are too sever to try making the ship work. This leaves the [[Apocalypse]] which has good capacitor life with high skills.

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 a utility module.

Line 96:

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. Further it can fit a full flight of Sentry Drones if needed. 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.

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. (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. Though the [[Tempest]] has two utility high slots, which tend to be at a premium in Tech I fleets. Both hulls are usable in Incursions.
