Hydra Incursus
Contents
General Info
- Special Ability: 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret falloff and 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage per skill level.
This is a basic T1 setup for use in PvP-BASIC Hydra gang.
The incursus is an excellent tackling frigate - it is faster than the tristan, although it has one fewer low and high slots. Despite having fewer high slots, the incursus is capable of greater damage due to its three turret hardpoints vs the tristan's split weapon systems. The incursus is a natural blaster ship, however for PvP-BASIC blasters are generally not very effective, and we reccomend fitting railguns. In a smaller gang, blasters are an excellent choice.
Example Hydra Incursus Setup
Low Slots
- Damage Control
- Overdrive Injector
Mid Slots
- 1MN Afterburner
- 2x EWAR module of your choice.
Remember that you should bring a range of EWAR modules, since you will probably be asked to change them when we set up the fleet. For the full list of modules to bring, see Recommended Modules for PVP-Basic.
Note though that this fit is very low on CPU, so only certain EWAR mods will fit. You may wish to replace the Overdrive with a Co-Processor in order to fit alternative EWAR.
High Slots
- 3x 125mm Railgun
Drones
Light Armor Maintenance Bot x 1
Cargo
- 1000 units of close range hybrid ammo - try to pick something that gives you an optimal range of about 6km. Optionally you may also wish to bring some mid range ammo such as lead, but in my experience you will rarely use it.
- Both scripts for any electronic warfare modules that use them.
- Spare Light Armor Maintenance Bots.
