Preparing for Incursions: Difference between revisions

Line 192:

Once you have the recommended skills, the step from a battleship to a strategic cruiser or a pirate faction battleship is surprisingly short and you should take this step as soon as possible to get into a really good ship. You might need to top off some of the support skills, pending on what ship you decide to move into, if you run into powergrid, CPU or cap issues.

For strategic cruisers you'll most likely require you to train some support skills to V and of course your racial cruiser of choice to V. Then you just move towards tech two medium weapons for further efficiency. When it comes to pirate faction battleship hulls like the Machariel, Nightmare and Vindicator, which are better in all regards compared to the regular battleships regardless of your skill, you'll need to train anything from a secondary racial shipline to two new racial shiplines and new racial turret skills.

For strategic cruisers you'll most likely require you to train some support skills to V and of course your racial cruiser of choice to V.

When it comes to pirate faction battleship hulls like the Machariel, Nightmare and Vindicator, which are better in all regards compared to the regular battleships regardless of your skill, you'll need to train anything from a secondary racial shipline to two new racial shiplines and new racial turret skills. Flying ships that cost over a billion in just the hull shouldn't be taken lightly however, but from an efficiency point of view there is no reason not to get one.

~~Flying~~ ships ~~that cost over~~ a ~~billion in just the hull shouldn~~'t ~~be taken lightly however~~, ~~but from an efficiency point~~ of ~~view there~~ is ~~no reason not~~ to ~~get one~~.

Also remember that once you've trained the generic support skills for ships and weapons, crosstraining into a different racial ship or a secondary racial turret doesn't take that long. Same for logistics, once you have the skills to fly one of them, the other is a matter of training up a new racial cruiser skill to V. Being able to fly several ships and roles, like both that of a damage dealer and a logistics, gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility. It also makes you quite desirable among the incursion communities, both within EVE University and beyond, as having pilots capable of switching roles or ships based on what the fleet needs is incredibly useful.

~~Beyond the advance list...~~

If you are looking to progress within the incursion community, or fly in as many fleets as you can then it may be wise to, if you already fly a pirate bs, train for another or train into logistics (scimitar for vanguards, basilisk / scimitar for HQs)
