Incursion Fitting: Vanguard: Difference between revisions

Line 61:

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 week or more, 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 full skill Tech II BC. Further BS have bigger tanks, more utility slots making them more versatile, and more Power Grid and CPU making fitting them easier. It is highly recommended, and most FCs expect, that even if a pilot starts with a BC the pilot is training for a BS instead of a full Tech II fit BC due to all the reasons just mentioned.

BCs are fine starter Incursion ships for EVE University Incursion fleets, but will not be accepted by most public fleets. In general, FCs are looking for utility then damage from BCs because BSs deal far more damage. For BCs, most Tier 2 hulls are recommended~~. In particular, the [[Drake]], [[Harbinger]], and [[Hurricane]]~~. 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 are hard to fit for Incursions due to small base tanks and using Large Guns. While they can be useful to highly skilled pilots the Tier 3 BCs should be avoided by new pilots.

The following hull types are upgrades of Tech I hulls used in Incursions and all are acceptable. The highest choice hulls for Damage Dealers are the Pirate Battleships which fall in this category.
