Revision as of 16:04, 6 October 2015

Planning ahead

Unless you are already heavily invested into a certain race or weapon system, it might be a good idea to think of which logistics ship or pirate faction battleship you'll want in the end, rather than what your first incursion ship should be. You should also consider secondary value of whatever you train, perhaps you can find an end-of-the-line ship that not only furthers your goals for incursions but other goals as well given the skills you'll end up training for it.

See ship progression in Incursions for more information.

	Attribute implants The training times listed for these will assume that you utilize the +3 attribute implants (see the +3 Implants Program for unistas to get started). These implants are cheap and gives you a much needed boost to your training times.
	Neural remaps Normally one should be careful about remaps and not spend them needlessly. However, if you are making an alt knowing that it will only train for a month or two and not train anything else after that point, consider using all the remaps.
	Multiple character training Pilot License Extension (PLEX) can be used to activate multiple character training. If you want to use the characters at the same time, or plan on training for a long time, consider making a second account instead as characters on the same account cannot be logged in at the same time.

Damage dealers

The majority of the skills we ask you to train are core fitting and support skills that'll help you fit and fly most ships better. Even the combat skills are mostly general gunnery or drone support skills you'd train as well if you did anything combat related in EVE.

Minimum skills for damage dealers

Getting the minimum skills for a damage dealer requires a couple of months worth of training, if you train into a turret-based battleship on a brand new character. These minimum skills will allow you to fly any of the minimum battleship fits for vanguards. It will also allow you to fly most of the assaults fits, although some of them might require you to touch up on a skill or two.

^ Shield Upgrades IV is required for the EM Shield Compensation skill.
^ Hull Upgrades IV is required to fit the Damage Control II module.
^ Propulsion Jamming is needed to use a stasis webifier module.
^ Controlled Bursts is needed to lower the cap usage of all hybrid and energy turrets, but useless for projectiles as they do not use cap to fire.
^ ^a ^b <racial> Frigate III and Small <racial> Turret III are starter skills you normally have, but are included in case you have to cross-train out of your initial race.
^ Drones V, Light Drone Operation V and Amarr Drone Specialization I is required to use Acolyte II. It's acceptable to skip this skill initially if you can use other drones, like Warrior II drones, but train it as soon as possible.
^ ^a ^b ^c Drone Durability I, Repair Drone Operation II and Shield Emission Systems III is required to use shield maintenance drones. If you have room for heavies they require Repair Drone Operation III.

Recommended skills for damage dealers

Apart from the minimum skills listed above to get going, there are a few skills that you should get as soon as possible once you start running.

Train some additional skills to be able to fly the minimum battleship-fits for assaults and increase your drone control range.
- Optionally prepare for headquarter sites as well (strong emphasis on cap and propulsion).
We rely on offgrid boosters and as such we need people with leadership skills to pass boosts down the fleet hierarchy.
Training into tech two weapons bring much needed flexibility and range projection, even for regular tech one battleships.
- While we use mostly short range weapons, consider training into the long range specialization as well.

Assaults	Wing Commander	Tech two weapons	Utility skills
~ 19 days and 8 hours	~ 6 days and 15 hours	~ 34 days and 18 hours	~ 2 day and 17 hours

^ Electronic Warfare IV is a requirement for Advanced Drone Avionics.
^ Electronic Warfare III is needed for Frequency Modulation and Long Distance Jamming.

Logistics

Training for logistics is considerably more time-consuming than that of a regular damage dealer. Please remember that when you think the above mentioned skills for a damage dealer is a long train. The bare minimum to make the logistics ships work is [[Skills:Logistics IV]], there is practically no way to make these ships function with lower skills than that. The reason for that is because the skill heavily influences the cap usage of remote repair modules as well as capacitor transmitters.

Minimum skills for logistics

It takes almost three months to get good enough skills to fly a minimum logistics fit and you should try to skill up and upgrade to the recommended fit as soon as possible. The repping power of meta four remote shield boosters are inferior to that of the tech two variant, so moving out of the minimum fit should be a high priority.

EVEMon skillplans: Scimitar (minimum skills), Basilisk (minimum skills)

Core skills	Utility skills	Logistics skills	Ship skills	Drone skills
~ 10 days and 5 hours	~ 25 days and 13 hours	~ 6 days and 9 hours	~ 32 days and 13 hours	~ 5 days and 14 hours

~ 74 days and 16 hours worth of training for aScimitar and ~ 78 days and 7 hours for aBasilisk

^ Energy Grid Upgrades is required for the cap, power diagnostic and reactor control modules.
^ ^a ^b ^c Basilisks only - Shield Upgrades IV, Hull Upgrades IV and Capacitor Emission Systems IV are required for the Large Shield Extender II, Damage Control II and remote capacitor transmitter modules
^ ^a ^b Signature Analysis V and Long Range Targeting V are requirements for the [[Skills:Logistics]] skill.
^ Target Management V is a requirement for the Advanced Target Management skill.
^ <racial> Frigate III is a starter skill you normally have, but is included in case you have to cross-train out of your initial race.
^ ^a ^b Drone Durability I and Repair Drone Operation II is required to use shield maintenance drones.
^ Shield Emission Systems IV is already trained as a requirement for the Remote Shield Booster II module.

Recommended skills for logistics

Since the minimum skills only gets you so far, it's important to continue training into the recommended logistics fit for logistics (and preferably the advanced fits too). This is important because being able to quickly upgrade from meta to tech two Remote Shield Booster II modules will ensure the safety of the fleet.

Recommended	Advanced ^[1]	Drone skills	Rig skills
~ 11 days and 1 hour	~ 42 days and 10 hours	+ 15 days and 9 hours	+ 3 days and 1 hours
Power Grid Management V Capacitor Systems Operation V Fuel Conservation III Shield Management IV	Logistics V Shield Emission Systems V Capacitor Emission Systems V ^[2]	Repair Drone Operation V	Shield Rigging IV Jury Rigging III ^[3]

^ This assumes you've already trained the skills listed under recommended.
^ Basilisk only - Needed to get enough cap from a single remote capacitor transmitter chain instead of the usual two. For scimitars this cuts down the training time by 8 days and 12 hours.
^ Jury Rigging III is a requirement for the Shield Rigging skill.

Further training

Once you've got the most pressing skills trained and you're looking towards further training, remember that in the time it takes to train a skill from IV to V you can usually train up a handful of other skills from I to IV. As a general rule of thumb we recommend that people train their skills up to IV before starting to max them out. Sometimes you need a skill that requires you to train another skill to V, so it's not always avoidable, but until you have a solid set of skills trained it makes sense to hold off on training skills to V.

When you start training skills to V it might be a good time to start doing some serious skillplanning and consider neural remaps and better attribute implants. While restrictive, a good neural remap and attribute upgrades can lower the training time significantly.

Honing your skills

Remember that the minimum and recommended skills are just the beginning and there is much room for improvement. Maxing out the gunnery and support skills and topping off your racial ship skills for example will make your ship much more efficient. You'll also have many more options to improve your fit with better fitting and support skills, like upgrading a module, drop an excessive tank module for more utility modules and so forth.

What you're going to train next differs a little bit based on what ship and what weapons you're going to use. For some fitting skills will be prioritized due to the lack of CPU or powergrid of their hull, for others capacitor skills are more important while others can simply go straight for better ship and gunnery skills.

Crosstraining into armour

While we primarily run shield fleets, most of the skills you use will be reusable for armour fleets as well. It wouldn't take too long to touch up on your armour skills to be able to run armour fleets. For unistas it also gives them great skills to use within the Wormhole Campus, as they run primarily armour fleets.

Damage dealers	Logistics
~ 18 days and 10 hours	~ 46 days and 7 hours
Hull Upgrades V EM Armor Compensation IV Explosive Armor Compensation IV Kinetic Armor Compensation IV Thermic Armor Compensation IV Remote Armor Repair Systems III ^[1]	Hull Upgrades V EM Armor Compensation IV Explosive Armor Compensation IV Kinetic Armor Compensation IV Thermic Armor Compensation IV Remote Armor Repair Systems IV ^[2] <new racial> Frigate III <new racial> Destroyer III <new racial> Cruiser V

^ Remote Armor Repair Systems III is required to use armor maintenance bots.
^ Logistics need to train Remote Armor Repair Systems IV for the sake of reducing the cap usage of their remote armour repair modules.

Useful training for alts

It is no secret that having alts or several accounts are extremely useful in EVE. Incursions are no different and we can make good use of alts for a wide variety of things, especially unistas during war. The training times shown below are assuming the same +3 attribute implants as mentioned at the top of this page.

Hacker / Scout

Scouting can be done in pretty much any ship and doesn't require any skills at all, even shuttles. When it comes to hacking there are a few skills that help, but for the most part you'll have the skills needed to hack right off the bat.

For more information about the role, see the hacker/scout section on the Roles in Incursions page.

Minimum Heron fit

When it comes to suitable ships for hacking it pretty much boils down to speed and midslots. We recommend the Heron (Caldari Frigate) because it's cheap, fast and has five midslots.

The information presented here represents how we do things in the EVE University Incursion Community. It does not represent the best or only way to run Incursions. We make some compromises when it comes to efficiency for the sake of additional safety to create an environment where anyone can step up and learn a new role.

Vanguard fittings

The fits used by the EVE University Incursion Community focus around our need to be able to clear warp disrupt capable ships first, which are often small and hard to hit frigates. This sets us apart from most communities, in that we often favor short-range and high tracking with multiple webs and painters, as opposed to the more common long-range setups with dedicated webbers that other communities use.

It is recommended that you visit this page after reading Preparing for Incursions and Incursion fitting principles. These articles will guide you to a fuller understanding of how the modules in the fits below work, and together, meet the task of engaging small ships effectively. These articles also detail the theory and reasoning behind the fittings below, and additional information such as what skills are needed, what implants are recommended and the like, is also placed there.

Finally, the three guidelines below are vital to the success of the fleet. Please bear them in mind when fitting your first ship.

Armor focus

In the EVE University Incursion Community we run armor fleets to provide easier progression to higher level sites and other communities as the majority of public incursion communities now favor armor tanking.

Don't compromise these fits

We've already tried to downscale and reduce the skill requirements as much as we can for these fits, but at the end of the day, the content you're about to join in on is high-end PvE content. Your individual performance is very important as we have a limited amount of people in the fleet, so every skill and module matters.

Improving fits

These fits are tailored in order to get a solidly tanked ship with a good level of performance, for you to begin running incursions. However, there is room for individual taste and preference. See the ship progression page as well as the upgrade priorities section of the fitting principles page for more guidance on progression in terms of ship upgrades and fits as well as skills.

All fits use Miranda's template which is easily used with the in-game Fitting tool. If you click the EFT button you will open up a text box with the complete list of modules, charges and drones for the fit. This can then be copied to import directly into your favorite third-party fitting program. Be sure to read the SKILLS and NOTES section as well, they contain valuable information about the fit and if there are any common tweaks you could do.

Damage Dealer Ships

These fits are minimum fits, able to contribute to fleet efficiency. Some of the rigging choices may seem weird for these fits, but they are all chosen to allow for extreme flexibility in refitting between Vanguards, Assaults as well as Headquarter sites. As such, some fits you see here may seem slightly compromised, but that is a choice we made to allow people to use the same ship for all the different sites. If you have a substantially similar incursions rig that is already attached to your ship, please do not feel obliged to switch those incursion rigs out in order to run with us.

Starter Battleships

Praxis

Unlike other ships with fits listed here, the Praxis is not used by Headquarters communities due to its low speed and base HP. As a consequence, the fits below are rigged for use in Vanguards only.

The Praxis has some upsides over the other T1 battleships listed, namely having seven mid and low slots, an ample drone bay with room for both lights and sentries, and a drone damage bonus. This also means that it can support energy turrets while also having spare mid slots for application. However, it has less resists versus kinetic/explosive damage, and low buffer.

Advanced Battleships

Some things to keep in mind:

Due to the Bastion module preventing remote assistance while active, Bastion Marauders require a local tank to safely use.

If you are new to Incursions, we recommend against starting in a Marauder, as it imposes higher pilot skill requirements compared to other ships. Consider a Vindicator or Nightmare instead, or take advantage of our T1 Battleship loaner program. These fits are made with the expectation that the pilot is experienced in running Incursion sites.

Set Auto-Repeat off on the Bastion Module and Armor Repairer. The Large reppers are very cap hungry, and can easily cap out the ship if left unattended. Also, disabling auto-repeat on Bastion allows the logi to rep a Marauder in case of a disconnect.

Marauder fits do not include Stasis Webifiers, as it is assumed that there will be other ships with webs to do the job better. An all Marauder comp will not do in a Uni fleet, and it is expected that the FC will keep tabs on the web capability of their fleet.

Elite Battleships

Some things to keep in mind:

Due to the Bastion module preventing remote assistance while active, Bastion Marauders require a local tank to safely use.

If you are new to Incursions, we recommend against starting in a Marauder, as it imposes higher pilot skill requirements compared to other ships. Consider a Vindicator or Nightmare instead, or take advantage of our T1 Battleship loaner program. These fits are made with the expectation that the pilot is experienced in running Incursion sites.

Set Auto-Repeat off on the Bastion Module and Armor Repairer. The Large reppers are very cap hungry, and can easily cap out the ship if left unattended. Also, disabling auto-repeat on Bastion allows the logi to rep a Marauder in case of a disconnect.

None of these fits include Stasis Webifiers, as it is assumed that there will be other ships with webs to do the job better. An all Marauder comp will not do in a Uni fleet, and it is expected that the FC will keep tabs on the web capability of their fleet.

Orca

The Orca is a wonderful ship that's more like a mobile base than just a ship. It has a ship maintenance bay to store ship, enough cargo hold to carry lots of ammo as well as spare modules, an ore hold for lyavite. Its refitting services and fleet hangar is also very useful for changing things up while in space, or to have a nearby stock of lyavite handy in a non-station system.

Even if you fly this ship on an alt that you cannot have logged on at the same time as your main character, the Orca is a tremendously useful ship.

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

NOTES

With just the modules present you'll have a tank of well over 200k effective hit points (ehp).
If you want tank and go with Large Transverse Bulkhead II rigs your buffer can exceed 400k ehp vs regular gallente gankers.
If you fit for warp speed with Large Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II rigs your warp speed can be as high as 3,5 AU/s.
The Thermic Dissiplation Field II and Kinetic Deflection Field II module will increase your tank vs gallente-gankers who do primarily thermal and kinetic damage. This will raise your average ehp without really making you too vulnerable to minmatar gankers using EMP ammo.

Ore Hold

The ore hold is perfect for lyavite and can hold up to 163 full stacks which is 41,575 units of ore.
(the hold itself can take 50,000 m3 worth of any ore and is unaffected by skill)

Fleet Hangar

The fleet hangar is another 40,000 m3 that can hold just about anything (including assembled frigates). This hold can be used for spare modules and ore to be available to fleet members, or just secondary storage.

Ship Maintenance Bay

While it's only possible to see the ships in the ship maintenance bay and not their content, ships have the same chance of dropping as any other item on your ship. If a ship drops, it drops whole with all modules and rigs intact (just like a container does).

The main function of a ship maintenance bay is that it can take fully assembled ships (no need to repackage them). Below is a short summary of the benefits and limitations of the ship maintenance bay.

The ship maintenance bay can hold 400,000 m3 worth of assembled ships which is enough to hold ships as large as a battlecruiser-hull but not a battleship-hull (their size exceeds the 400k limit). Keep in mind that carrying several more valuable ships in the bay can make your Orca an attractive suicide gank target.
The cargo scan will not show any modules fitted to ships in the maintenance bay, which is something you can take advantage of by putting your more costly modules on ships inside the maintenance bay, thus hiding them from scans, but remember they can still drop.
Ships in the maintenance bay cannot have anything in their cargohold except charges (ie, ammunition and scripts), so modules must be fitted to the ships (but can be offlined) or placed in the Orca's regular cargohold or fleet hangar.
You can give fleet members access to the ship maintenance bay while in space, allowing them to store, launch and board ships directly.

The ship maintenance bay allows for Orca pilots to bring several small ships or a select few cruiser-hulls. This will allow you to bring several incursion ships, or other ships to use while you wait; like mission/exploration ships. Here's a list of a few ships commonly used and how much room they take up in the maintenance bay.

Logistics and strategic cruisers						Command ships			Other ships

89,000 m3	107,000 m3	118,000 m3	80,000 m3	92,000 m3	115,000 m3	216,000 m3	252,000 m3	234,000 m3	18,900 m3	100,000 m3

Valet alt

Having an alt capable of flying your ships around is invaluable when your main character is at war or otherwise indisposed. If the purpose is just to fly the ship, they wouldn't need any gunnery skills whatsoever. The same character could theoretically become your dedicated incursion/mission alt down the line to make life easier for your main character, if you have the means to support a second account that is.

Below are various levels of training needed for different type of tanking capabilities. As a minimum, the Hull tanking and Ship skills is enough to fit a Damage Control II and Reinforced Bulkhead II modules for a solid 150k+ ehp buffer on a regular tech one battleship. If you train the Additional race as well, the alt could move a pirate faction battleship.

Hull tanking	Ship skills	Additional race ^[1]	Shield tanking ^[2]
~ 1 day and 12 hours	~ 3 days and 5 hours	~ 2 days and 11 hours	~ 5 day and 11 hours
Hull Upgrades IV	Spaceship Command IV <racial> Frigate III <racial> Destroyer III <racial> Cruiser III <racial> Battlecruiser III <racial> Battleship I	<racial> Frigate III <racial> Destroyer III <racial> Cruiser III <racial> Battlecruiser III <racial> Battleship I	Shield Upgrades IV Tactical Shield Manipulation IV
Less than 4 days and 17 hours worth of training in total for a simple valet alt

^ Optional - If you need your alt to be able to move a pirate faction battleship (since they require two racial ship skills).
^ Optional - Increasing the train to a handful of days means you can upgrade the shield tank and use the Large Shield Extender II, EM Ward Amplifier II as well as the Adaptive Invulnerability Field II modules (or any of the active hardeners or passive amplifiers).

Common guides

There are several common guides on the wiki already. Our needs in the incursion community are a little different, but it might be useful for general purposes or to get some inspiration of what else to train on your alt.

[1] Shield Operation IV is required for the EM Shield Compensation} skill.

[2] Shield Upgrades IV is required for the EM Shield Compensation skill.

[3] Hull Upgrades IV is required to fit the Damage Control II module.

[4] Propulsion Jamming is needed to use a stasis webifier module.

[5] Controlled Bursts is needed to lower the cap usage of all hybrid and energy turrets, but useless for projectiles as they do not use cap to fire.

[racial-6] <racial> Frigate III and Small <racial> Turret III are starter skills you normally have, but are included in case you have to cross-train out of your initial race.

[7] Drones V, Light Drone Operation V and Amarr Drone Specialization I is required to use Acolyte II. It's acceptable to skip this skill initially if you can use other drones, like Warrior II drones, but train it as soon as possible.

[bots-8] Drone Durability I, Repair Drone Operation II and Shield Emission Systems III is required to use shield maintenance drones. If you have room for heavies they require Repair Drone Operation III.

[9] Electronic Warfare IV is a requirement for Advanced Drone Avionics.

[10] Electronic Warfare III is needed for Frequency Modulation and Long Distance Jamming.

[11] Energy Grid Upgrades is required for the cap, power diagnostic and reactor control modules.

[basi-12] Basilisks only - Shield Upgrades IV, Hull Upgrades IV and Capacitor Emission Systems IV are required for the Large Shield Extender II, Damage Control II and remote capacitor transmitter modules

[logistics-13] Signature Analysis V and Long Range Targeting V are requirements for the [[Skills:Logistics]] skill.

[14] Target Management V is a requirement for the Advanced Target Management skill.

[racial-15] <racial> Frigate III is a starter skill you normally have, but is included in case you have to cross-train out of your initial race.

[logibots-16] Drone Durability I and Repair Drone Operation II is required to use shield maintenance drones.

[17] Shield Emission Systems IV is already trained as a requirement for the Remote Shield Booster II module.

[18] This assumes you've already trained the skills listed under recommended.

[19] Basilisk only - Needed to get enough cap from a single remote capacitor transmitter chain instead of the usual two. For scimitars this cuts down the training time by 8 days and 12 hours.

[20] Jury Rigging III is a requirement for the Shield Rigging skill.

[armour_bots-21] Remote Armor Repair Systems III is required to use armor maintenance bots.

[22] Logistics need to train Remote Armor Repair Systems IV for the sake of reducing the cap usage of their remote armour repair modules.

[23] Optional - If you need your alt to be able to move a pirate faction battleship (since they require two racial ship skills).

[24] Optional - Increasing the train to a handful of days means you can upgrade the shield tank and use the Large Shield Extender II, EM Ward Amplifier II as well as the Adaptive Invulnerability Field II modules (or any of the active hardeners or passive amplifiers).

The repping power of meta four remote shield boosters are inferior to that of the tech two variant, so moving out of the minimum fit should be a high priority.

+== Recommended skills for logistics ==
-== Miscellaneous skills ==
+Since the minimum skills only gets you so far, it's important to continue training into the '''recommended logistics fit''' for [[Vanguard Incursion fits#Logistics|logistics]] (and preferably the '''advanced fits''' too). This is important because being able to quickly upgrade from meta to tech two '''Remote Shield Booster II''' modules will ensure the safety of the fleet.
-Apart from the critical skills listed above, there are a few skills that you should get as soon as possible. We rely on offgrid boosters and as such we need people with leadership skills to pass boosts down the fleet hierarchy. Being able to [[Incursions_checklist#How_and_when_to_overheat|overheat can often save your ship]] when something bad happens. Basic navigation skills helps mitigate align times and capacitor consumption from propulsion modules or from initiating warp. Having the skills to use the [[How_to_find_Incursions#The_microwarpdrive_and_cloak_trick|microwarpdrive and cloak trick]] for safer travel is also handy and recommended.

 = Further training =
-Once you have the minimum skills, it's time to consider what else to train.
+Once you've got the most pressing skills trained and you're looking towards further training, remember that in the time it takes to train a skill from IV to V you can usually train up a handful of other skills from I to IV. As a general rule of thumb we recommend that people train their skills up to IV before starting to max them out. Sometimes you need a skill that requires you to train another skill to V, so it's not always avoidable, but until you have a solid set of skills trained it makes sense to hold off on training skills to V.

-<!-- Soon.
-== Advanced weapons and modules ==
-Tech two guns for damage dealers and a full set of tech two remote shield boosters greatly improve your efficiency in fleets.
-{|
-|}
--->
-== Advanced hulls ==
-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 aspects 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.
+When you start training skills to V it might be a good time to start doing some serious skillplanning and consider [[Skills_and_Learning#Neural_Remaps|neural remaps]] and better attribute implants. While restrictive, a good neural remap and attribute upgrades can lower the training time significantly.
-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.

Increase these skills, train up for tech two weaponry and max out the gunnery and support skills, and your ship will be much more efficient. You'll also have many more options to improve your fit with better fitting and support skills, like upgrading a module, drop an excessive tank module for more utility modules and so forth.

-What you're going to train next differs a little bit based on what ship and what weapons you're going to use. For some fitting skills will be prioritized due to the lack of CPU or powergrid of their hull, for others capacitor skills are more important while others can simply go straight for better ship skills and tech two weaponry.

 == Hacker / Scout ==
 Scouting can be done in pretty much any ship and doesn't require any skills at all, even shuttles. When it comes to hacking there are a few skills that help, but for the most part you'll have the skills needed to hack right off the bat.
-For more information about the role, see [[Roles in Incursions#Hacker/Scout|Hacker/Scout]] section on the roles page.

 ==== Minimum Heron fit ====
 When it comes to suitable ships for hacking it pretty much boils down to speed and midslots. We recommend the Heron (Caldari Frigate) because it's cheap, fast and has five midslots.

+Having an alt capable of flying your ships around is invaluable when your main character is at war or otherwise indisposed. If the purpose is just to fly the ship, they wouldn't need any gunnery skills whatsoever. The same character could theoretically become your dedicated incursion/mission alt down the line to make life easier for your main character, if you have the means to support a second account that is.
 Below are various levels of training needed for different type of tanking capabilities. As a minimum, the '''Hull tanking''' and '''Ship skills''' is enough to fit a {{co|coral|Damage Control II}} and {{co|coral|Reinforced Bulkhead II}} modules for a solid 150k+ ehp buffer on a regular tech one battleship. If you train the '''Additional race''' as well, the alt could move a pirate faction battleship.

-== Neural remaps ==
-Normally one should be careful about remaps and not spend them needlessly. However, if you are making an alt knowing that it will only train for a month or two and not train anything else after that point, consider using all the remaps.
-For example, if you're using a [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/30_days_Concord_Pilot_License_Extension PLEX] (Pilot License Extension) to activate [[Dual Character Training]] for a month or two, then using all three neural remaps makes sense. It might allow you to squeeze in some more skills or shorten the training time to be within one or two months instead of slightly more.
 == Common guides ==
 There are several common guides on the wiki already. Our needs in the incursion community are a little different, but it might be useful for general purposes or to get some inspiration of what else to train on your alt.
