SCD 0 Posted February 8, 2021 Hello People I want to try incursions, but i'm not sure what path to go. Basicallyi have the ISK and skills to field and fly the optimal fits in DPS and Logi groups. I have very little experience in fleet fights (zero experience as Logi), so i'm not sure if DPS or Logi would be the place to go - what would be the "easiest" point of entry here? and last, would my chances of getting into fleet be better with optimal fits or could the ones labled entry be enough? Thanks in advance /SCD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkstriker01 31 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Hi so we allow you to fly anything on the website for 30h then we expect you to be in an Opti ship. Some people like logi some don't, a basi level 5 is a quick way into fleet tho slightly more work in my opinion we are also low on snipers and leshaks on average atm so that's the "better" battleship entry. The focus is going to pop in approx 8h-10h with a 36h delay on next focus. so if u wana come join be fast :-) Invites can be from 30seconds to 5h depends on time of day unfortunately.

Devin Darastrixgix 5 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) If you can afford to do so, perhaps buy an optimal Basi and vindicator fit so you have multiple ways to get into fleet fast. If you haven't already, review a couple of the following guides before X-ing up (or while x-ing up): You may have already read them, but just in case. The anchoring guide is great to know because you don't have to rely on the anchor to get where you're supposed to be (especially if your anchor is new) and it allows you to be more efficient with your moving, which will ultimately improve your DPS thus making sites go faster. Don't be discouraged of flying a logi if you've never flown one before. Read the guide, listen to FC and lock all shield broadcasts and you'll be fine! If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask, we have very knowledgeable pilots throughout WTM who are willing to help anyone out with question. We look forward to seeing you in fleet!

Ellie Arnoux 3 Posted February 8, 2021 Given your requirements, IE newbro friendly, and short queue wait times I'd reccomend getting an optimal scimitar and going from there. Its cheap, and provides a much better experience starting off when compared to a Basilisk (though that's something you should aim for). Longer term you can focus on saving up enough for an Optimal Vindicator or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it more newbro friendly or? 34 minutes ago, Devin Darastrixgix said: If you can afford to do so, perhaps buy an optimal Basi and vindicator fit so you have multiple ways to get into fleet fast.

Devin Darastrixgix 5 Posted February 8, 2021 The Scimitar is more newbro friendly because you don't have to worry about capacitor broadcasts like you do in the Basi, and you also don't have to worry about any kind of cap chain (explained in logi guide). You just worry about shield broadcasts and giving your remote tracking links to your assigned DPS targets. I prefer to fly a scimi for that reason cause I can logi for much longer, your work is double sometimes depending on how starved the fleet is for cap as a Basi so it just wears me out, but that's just me. The reason we encourage people to fly basi's though is because we can't have a fleet without them. the capacitor is necessary for fleet safety and speed, while Scimi's just make the fleet go faster by making the vindi's more efficient with their guns.
