General Kulheim 1 Posted February 21, 2021 Greetings fellow capsuleers, I am thinking of creating a new character focused on incursions. Will initially be an alpha but can upgrade to omega depending on how things go. According to the recommended fits, my options are to train into either a Nightmare, Vindicator, Hyperion or Bhaalgorn. So which of these would be most effective at alpha level? I dont want to simply be a +1 in fleet. I want to contribute and earn my share of the isk fairly. Also im not space rich so i cant bling my way to success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Kulheim 1 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) In a nutshell, im looking for a wallet-friendly fit that WTM would want in their fleets so i could get in once or twice a week. Edited February 21, 2021 by General Kulheim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eliz Marbly 93 Posted February 21, 2021 Welcome to WTM! If you have enough isk then I suggest either the Nightmare/Vindicator Alpha Fit listed in the fitting website but otherwise Hyperion or Bhaalgorn is good for the time being 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We do have an upgrade policy but if this is your first time flying with WTM then you can try it without having to be in an optimal hull until after 25 hours in-fleet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malcolm Galora 374 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Characters Under 4 weeks are not allowed to fly with WTM. FCs may make an exception and invite one if the pilot is A, in an optimal hull and B, can prove that they have some experience playing EVE in general. FCs at no time are required to invite these characters until after 4 weeks in game. This info was in the MOTD for about a month as general news. This policy is to prevent abuse of our upgrade policy with the ease of rolling day one alpha accounts, also to give true newbros time to actually learn basic in game mechanics and to train some skills.

Ezra Grayson 60 Posted February 21, 2021 I was referring to your claim that they couldn’t be in a bhaalgorn or a hyperion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To answer your question directly, please get a nightmare. Biggest isk investment is the hull itself. After that you can make isk in fleet and upgrade when you can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ezra Grayson 60 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) I checked the R&R and Malcolm/Lilitu are correct with regards to characters under 4 weeks old. Edited February 21, 2021 by Ezra Grayson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juan Carlos Minjita 120 Posted February 21, 2021 We need our pilots to be as capable as possible. Get into an optimal hull, t2 guns, faction lows (abysalls preferred), and SKILLS. Join us if you are going to upgrade and be a part of the community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The very first comment was: "Nightmare/Vindicator Alpha" which is best response Unless You can fly logi ships - those are even more wallet friendly, but they won't be available on new character for some time, so "Nightmare/Vindicator Alpha" it's a way to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farah Black 14 Posted March 4, 2021 In my case I when for a potatoe while I train for a Vindi alpha the did sed Vindi untill I wore able to do an optimal Vindi, and did that till o train for logi. I don't get what I sed wrong Vindi = Vindicator. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Kulheim 1 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Thank you all for this info. Im in no hurry so I will fully train my character first before joining fleets. Ive settled on vindi/nightmare based on your feedback. Later I can train into logi. Edited March 15, 2021 by General Kulheim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
