Incursion fleets rely on good resists and buffer supported by a logistics. There are simply too many enemies to be able to fit a strong enough local tank, not to mention that by sacrificing a small portion of your fleet to bring in logistics instead of more damage dealers, the rest of the damage dealers can fit more offensive modules and your fleet will perform better.

== Ensure everyone has a solid fit ==
 +
When checking for fits, first make sure they have a proper tank. You can read more about that on the [[Vanguard Incursion fits]] page for examples, or the [[Incursion_fitting_principles#Battleship_setups|fitting principles]] page for more information, but here are two very common setups:
 +

 +
: [[image:module icon shield rig tech1.png|18px|Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer]]{{co|coral|Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer}}
  
Once you have a good enough tank, the rest of your spare slots should be used to augment your damage potential. While there's such a thing as under-tanked, being over-tanked is not only wasteful in incursions but even dangerous if done at the cost of offence.
+
It's also important that we ensure that people have proper [[Incursion_fitting_principles#Utility_modules|utility midslots]], such as a [[image:icon_sensor_booster_ii.png|18px|Sensor Booster]] {{co|coral|Sensor Booster II}} and a [[image:icon_stasis_webifier_faction.png|18px|Webbing]]{{co|coral|Federation Navy Stasis Webifier}} in their mids.

== Make sure your picket is ready before undocking ==
== Omni damage and resists ==
+
= While running =
The Sansha incursion rats deal damage in two ways, lasers (EM and thermal) and torpedoes (kinetic and explosive). As such, they hit across all four resist types. While you can sometimes compensate for a low kinetic resist by having a higher explosive resist, or get away with lower resists due to having a small signature and high speed, generally you don't have the luxury of having resist holes in incursions.
+
== Watchlist ==
 +
{{main|Incursions_checklist#Using_the_Watch_List|Using the Watch List}}
 +
Be sure to remind everyone to add everyone in the ongrid-squad to their '''Watch List''' before starting your first site, as well as whenever someone joins the fleet while running.
  
Just as they do damage across the board, the Sansha incursion rats have omni tanks as well. The only notable exception is the '''Lirsautton Parichaya''', it's a little weaker against thermal damage and stronger against explosive damage. So contrary to missions where Amarr and Gallente weapons are somewhat limited due to their set damage types, these weapons are not hampered by resists in incursions.
+
== Priority targets for vanguards ==
 +
{{important note box|This is a '''fundamental safety aspect''' and starting out it's not recommended to deviate from this kill order, as you could easily find yourself leaving warp disrupt capable ships on grid for longer periods of time, increasing the risk of being caught should a war target show up. See [[Anatomy of Incursions#Standard tactics|Anatomy of Incursions]] for a more in-depth explanation of prioritizing targets.}} 
 +
This is a generic priority list for vanguard sites, focusing on removing both damage and warp disruption from grid as soon as possible. Remember that different fleet compositions can change who targets what, as well as various fleet command styles. This is however a solid priority to follow that accounts for our unique need of getting rid of warp disrupt capable ships in order to [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Facilitating_a_controlled_warp-out|facilitate a controlled warp-out]] without a delay, should a war targets show up.
  
== Applied DPS ==
+
; {{co|coral|Targets for the entire fleet}}
One of the most important aspects to realize is that whatever DPS(damage per second) your favourite third party fitting tool tells you that you have, or whatever the fitting window ingame tells you, is worth nothing if you cannot apply that damage. Hence the term ''"applied DPS"'' as opposed to ''"paper DPS"'' which is basically just your potential damage.
+
: These targets are for the entire fleet, as they need to die as soon as possible. It can also be beneficial to ensure that both regular and small high priority targets are killed before moving on to respective low priority targets.
 
+
; {{co|coral|Regular targets}}
Your velocity, your target's velocity, approach vectors, your gun's signature resolution, your target's ship signature, locking speed, locking range, your weapon's optimal and falloff range and tracking all play a vital part in how much of your damage you'll be able to apply on your enemy. See [[Turret Damage|turret damage]] or the [[Gunnery Guide|gunnery guide]] for a more comprehensive introduction to the factors determining how much damage you'll end up doing when you undock and leave your theoretical bubble.
+
: These targets are usually larger, cruisers or battleships and suitable for ships with good damage projection, lower tracking, like battleships with large guns. The [[Roles in Incursions#Dronebunny|dronebunny]] also shoot these targets if the fleet has other ships dealing with the '''small targets''' already.
 
+
;{{co|coral|Small targets}}
Practically this means that utility modules often make or break fleets.
+
: Smaller targets, like frigates or extremely fast or small cruisers. Ideally the primary targets for '''strategic cruisers''', [[Vindicator]]s or the [[Roles in Incursions#Dronebunny|dronebunny]] as a last resort, but if need be the entire fleet will help kill these.
== Utility modules ==
+
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;"
Utility modules refer to modules you fit that doesn't directly give you a higher dps in your favourite third party fitting program or on your fitting screen ingame. Instead they act as force multipliers of sorts making up for weaknesses or capitalize on strengths for increased efficiency. There are also modules that has no impact on your offensive capabilities, but are invaluable when things go wrong.

For vanguards we make sure we have at least one sensor booster and one web. If we have room for more midslots we primarily go for a second web first before looking into other modules. For assaults and up, once you've ensured that you have the locking range needed (potentially requires you to use a sensor booster) and fitted any required propulsion modules. For utility highslots, pick the most important one. So a capacitor transmitter if you run with Basilisks or need a cap chain and a remote shield booster if you run with Scimitars or have no need for a cap chain. Should you have the luxury of having more than one utility highslot, just bring both. If you have no use for either or lack the powergrid to fit them you could use an auto targeter for more locks, drone link augmentor for longer drone control range etc.
 
 
 
When in doubt, just follow the recommended fits on the [[Vanguard Incursion fits|Vanguard]] and [[Assault Incursion fits|Assault]] fitting pages. See [[Anatomy of Incursions]] for more information on how you can change these modules around for different tactics based on your fleet composition.
 
 
 
== Drones ==
 
Drones can be a tremendous asset, if you pick the right ones and use them intelligently. The sum of all the drones in fleet can easily amount to the equivalent of adding an extra pilot or two on grid, so it's not something to treat lightly. See [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Utilizing_drones|utilizing drones]] for more information on how to make the most of drones.
 
 
 
When selecting drones you need to factor in how to get the best mix of microwarpdrive and orbital speeds, tracking and optimal range for the type of fleet and sites you run. Amarr drones generally provide the best mix for most situations except for headquarter sites. Below are the drones we recommend within our community.

== Rigging choice ==
 
[[image:albert_einstein.jpg|thumb|200px|[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein ''"It’s all relative, you might say."'']]]
 
It's very easy to dismiss the importance of the rig selection when buying a new ship. While it's usually not something a new pilot needs to worry about when getting any of the minimum fits posted on the wiki, it's extremely important for people looking to get a new ship as it heavily influences your options in terms of flexibility and utility slots (which is everything in incursions). Don't spend too much ISK on a temporary setup, either go for a cheap ''"good enough"'' setup while you're saving up for your ideal setup, or just wait until you can afford the whole setup you want in the end.
 
 
 
==== Electromagnetic or thermal rig ====
 
In general the electromagnetic rig will free up more midslots, but tends to require fancier deadspace modules to compensate for the overall lower resists. The thermal rig gives you a stronger and more flexible tank without having to rely on the high-end deadspace modules, at the cost of not being able to free up as many midslots.
 
 
 
==== Defence or offence ====
 
Going for offence means that you're limited to a single tech one resist rig in combination to your burst or collision rig, due to the high calibration cost of the tech two damage rigs. Choosing a more defensive setup will allow you to fit a tech two resist rig as well as making full use of the other two rigs. The offensive rigs are usually much cheaper than the defensive ones, but since the offensive setup usually has to up the quality of their deadspace modules to get a comparable resist profile, they're often forced to use higher tiered deadspace mods.
 
 
 
==== Flexibility vs efficiency vs cost ====
 
Given the different needs for tank and utility modules between the different type of sites, most incursion communities go for the most efficient rig setup for the kind of sites they are running. A community running vanguards exclusively often have different setups than those who run headquarters only. Communities that push for high-end fits with expensive deadspace modules usually have different rig selections too, since those stronger modules opens up for a few more options.
 
 
 
Going for the most efficient setup is of course always going to be the strongest way to do it, but sometimes you have to be practical. In our case, within our community, we factor in flexibility and cost a lot more. We want our members to be able to use the same ship for any type of site without having to resort to spending billions on faction and deadspace modules. That doesn't stop people who want to from doing it, but it does mean that some of our recommended fits will differ quite a lot from that of public communities.
 
 
 
== Determining a proper tank ==
 
There are a few easy ways to determine whether a tank is ok or not. Below are some key aspects that help when you're testing your ship in your favourite third-party fitting tool or if you've taken on the role of [[Roles_in_Incursions#Waitlist_manager|waitlist manager]] and need to quickly gauge whether the fit someone x up with is ok or not.
 
 
 
==== Resist holes ====
 
A lot of ships share a standard resist profile, so they share the same resist holes and have the same issues and weaknesses. Understanding what innate weaknesses a ship has is key to knowing how to best raise it to the desired high average resists mentioned above.
 
 
 
Below is a list of different resist profiles for various ship classes as well as a few specific ships with deviating profiles. The last column lists the obvious weaknesses of the class/hull, which will help you determine how to best achieve the desired resist profile. Plugging a hole is usually a simple matter of adding a resist rig or a combination of a rig and a shield amplifier, then up the resists in general by using one or two invulnerability fields.

==== Effective shield hit points ====
 
You can judge your tank by many means, but for Incursions the best way to measure your tank is to look at '''effective shield hit points''' (ESHP), as opposed to '''damage per second repaired''' (DPS-tank) or the generic '''effective hit points''' (EHP). This is because a lot of ships have significant armour and hull hit points, so the effective hit points value can be quite misleading on a battleship with a damage control for example, as the EHP-value skyrockets compared to a ship without a damage control fitted, but very little of it applies to the actual ESHP. You also need to factor in things like speed and signature, because a smaller ship that is orbiting will be a lot harder to hit than a large, stationary ship. So don't casually compare a ship's effective shield hit points against another without taking that into your consideration.
 
 
 
==== Shield hit points and resists ====
 
While the above mentioned effective shield hit points is a good measure, it is not always practical to use on the fly. For one it doesn't really tell you if the ship has any glaring resist holes, so for practical reasons we tend to speak in more general terms -- Shield hit points and resists. It's much easier to just ask the pilot ''"How many raw shield hit points do you have?"'' and ''"What are your resists if you undock and turn on all your modules?"''. It's very easy for people to check this ingame and it tells us enough to judge whether or not the fit is ok.
 
 
 
Below are some rough guidelines for what a proper tank might be for a battleship (there isn't much variation to speak of for logistics). The values below are of raw shield hit points and paired average resists (EM/thermal and kinetic/explosive), values '''before boosts''' for easy comparison.

|}
+
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
Naturally lower shield hit points is doable if you adjust your resists accordingly. Increasing your resists from 70% to 73% will drop the incoming damage from 30% to 27%, a decrease in 10% which means you can get away with at 10% lower shield hit points. In vanguards and assaults it's also possible to drop a little lower in really good fleets. Just remember that resists are far more important than raw shield hit points, as higher resists has the secondary benefit of increasing the efficiency of remote repairs.

The '''Tama''' warp disrupts and has fairly high damage output, but is easy to kill.
While there are several ways to fit high-end ships for incursions, here are some frequently used variants.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
=== Calibration ===
+
| nowrap | 3
Due to the limit of calibration points, there are several combinations available. Here are some common ones.

Filling up the spare rig slots is a matter of figuring out what rig benefits you the most, based on the type of fleet compositions you run, what kind of ship you fly and if a rig can in some way help you free up a low- or midslot. If you need more range use a '''Locus Coordinator II''' rig (150 points), if you need more shield hit points use a '''Core Defense Field Extender II''' rig (75 points) and if you need more cap use either a '''Capacitor Control Circuit II''' rig (150 points) or a '''Discharge Elutriation II''' rig (150 points).
 
  
Just remember that any offensive rig you fit on your ship '''needs''' to be tech two, otherwise it'll end up at the end of stacking penalties and that will render it completely useless.
+
The '''Auga''' warp disrupts, webs and is easier to kill than the '''Deltole''' that warp disrupts, target paints and neuts.
  
=== Thermal rig ===
+
The '''Schmaeel''' warp disrupts and webs.
The thermal rig setup is primarily a more defensive setup, used for even resists with the ability to really push the resists up. The downside of this setup is that you're forced to use two midslots and cannot drop down to one midslot for vanguards. Depending on what other rigs you use, you'll have enough calibration points to upgrade to a tech two anti-thermal rig further increasing your tank.

The EM rig setup is primarily used to free up as many slots are possible, but requires you to spend considerably more ISK on deadspace hardeners and will still have considerably lower resists for vanguards.

= Strategic cruisers and command ships =
 
While a lot of communities avoid strategic cruisers and command ships due to the fact that their damage output cannot match that of pirate faction battleships, we still allow them as they can easily match the efficiency of tech one battleships. As such, we welcome properly fit strategic cruisers and command ships in our community, as they are good enough for our purposes and we don't benefit from alienating people who prefer to fly smaller ships.
 
 
 
Just be sure to inform people that if they have plans to fly with public communities, they will most likely need to train into a proper battleship.
 
== Different resist profiles ==
 
One of the biggest differences fitting strategic cruisers and command ships compared to battleships is that they have a different resist profile. They are also much smaller in signature, especially the strategic cruisers, so won't need the same raw buffer of shield hit points either. As such, the solution could range from anything between a thermal and EM hardener for the '''Legion''' to a mere anti-EM rig on the '''Tengu''' or an invulnerability field for the '''Sleipnir'''.

This will take care of the immediate threat of jammers and warp disrupt capable ship, meaning you can relax knowing the hardest part of target calling is over, the rest is just finishing off the remainder of the site. See the '''individual site pages''' linked above for more information on priorities.

Incursionlogosmall.png 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.

Stepping up for the first time

Preparations

Ensure everyone has a solid fit

When checking for fits, first make sure they have a proper tank. You can read more about that on the Vanguard Incursion fits page for examples, or the fitting principles page for more information, but here are two very common setups:

Minimum tank:
Adaptive Invulnerability Field IIAdaptive Invulerability Field II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field IIAdaptive Invulerability Field II
Deadspace EM Ward AmplifierEM Ward Amplifier II
Damage Control IIDamage Control II
Anti-Thermal Screen ReinforcerAnti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer
Deadspace tank
Pithum B-Type Adaptive Invulnerability FieldPith B-Type Adaptive Invulerability Field
Damage Control IIDamage Control II
Anti-EM Screen ReinforcerAnti-EM Screen Reinforcer

It's also important that we ensure that people have proper utility midslots, such as a Sensor Booster Sensor Booster II and a WebbingFederation Navy Stasis Webifier in their mids.

  • Maelstroms and Rokhs fit a Target paintingRepublic Fleet Target Painter or a second WebbingFederation Navy Stasis Webifier.
  • Nightmares and Machariels fit a Target paintingRepublic Fleet Target Painter and fill out the rest with Tracking computerTracking Computers.
  • Vindicators fit more WebbingFederation Navy Stasis Webifiers and perhaps a Tracking computerTracking Computer.

Make sure your picket is ready before undocking

While running

Watchlist

Main article: Using the Watch List

Be sure to remind everyone to add everyone in the ongrid-squad to their Watch List before starting your first site, as well as whenever someone joins the fleet while running.

Priority targets for vanguards

This is a fundamental safety aspect and starting out it's not recommended to deviate from this kill order, as you could easily find yourself leaving warp disrupt capable ships on grid for longer periods of time, increasing the risk of being caught should a war target show up. See Anatomy of Incursions for a more in-depth explanation of prioritizing targets.

This is a generic priority list for vanguard sites, focusing on removing both damage and warp disruption from grid as soon as possible. Remember that different fleet compositions can change who targets what, as well as various fleet command styles. This is however a solid priority to follow that accounts for our unique need of getting rid of warp disrupt capable ships in order to facilitate a controlled warp-out without a delay, should a war targets show up.

Targets for the entire fleet
These targets are for the entire fleet, as they need to die as soon as possible. It can also be beneficial to ensure that both regular and small high priority targets are killed before moving on to respective low priority targets.
Regular targets
These targets are usually larger, cruisers or battleships and suitable for ships with good damage projection, lower tracking, like battleships with large guns. The dronebunny also shoot these targets if the fleet has other ships dealing with the small targets already.
Small targets
Smaller targets, like frigates or extremely fast or small cruisers. Ideally the primary targets for strategic cruisers, Vindicators or the dronebunny as a last resort, but if need be the entire fleet will help kill these.
# Targets for the entire fleet Reason for the priority
(see Sansha's Manual for more information)
Regular targets Small targets
1 Niarja Myelen JammingEnergy neutralizing Because the Niarja Myelen jams and neuts.
2 Sansha's Nation Commander Warp disrupting
Tama Cerebellum Warp disrupting
Because the Sansha's Nation Commander does a lot of damage and warp disrupts.

The Tama warp disrupts and has fairly high damage output, but is easy to kill.

3 Mara Paleo Remote Shield Booster
Auga Hypophysis Warp disruptingWebbing
Deltole Tegmentum Warp disruptingEnergy neutralizingTarget painting
Schmaeel Medulla Warp disruptingWebbing The Mara is a high priority targets because it remote repairs the other ships.

The Auga warp disrupts, webs and is easier to kill than the Deltole that warp disrupts, target paints and neuts.

The Schmaeel warp disrupts and webs.

4 Romi Thalamus Renyn Meten Webbing
Eystur Rhomben
Romis pose no real threat.
Renyns web and do more damage than Eysturs.

      Very high priority (immediate danger to the fleet)
      High priority (prevents the fleet from leaving)
      Low priority (only needed for site completion)

Practical examples

Here are some examples of what you should start focusing on for the three vanguard sites, see the individual sites for more information:

  • When you start the Nation Mining Colony, the immediate threat is the Mara Remote Shield Booster and the Schmaeels Warp disruptingWebbing in the first room. For the remaining waves it's Niarjas JammingEnergy neutralizing first, then Tamas Warp disrupting and Schmaeels Warp disruptingWebbing followed by Augas Warp disruptingWebbing (in the last wave).
  • In a Nation Commander Outpost it's usually Niarjas JammingEnergy neutralizing first, then Tamas Warp disrupting and Schmaeels Warp disruptingWebbing followed by Augas Warp disruptingWebbing. The Sansha's Nation Commander Warp disrupting that spawns in the third wave needs to go first, then the usual order.
  • Since everything warp disrupts in the Override Transfer Array, you basically through Niarjas JammingEnergy neutralizing first, then Tamas Warp disrupting, followed by the Augas Warp disruptingWebbing and finally the Deltole Warp disruptingEnergy neutralizingTarget painting for three waves then the remaining Eysturs warp off.

This will take care of the immediate threat of jammers and warp disrupt capable ship, meaning you can relax knowing the hardest part of target calling is over, the rest is just finishing off the remainder of the site. See the individual site pages linked above for more information on priorities.
