Afterlife

January 1st drop me in game depression hard...so hard so i decide to sell my pilots. sad but true( not end decision so...
I`m here to ask your advice and on how to fly incursions now. ofcourse you can tell me for 3-4-5 pilots no problems . but what if i tell you i need set up for 15 pilots in null sec incursions?
so questions
1) Ship type
2) How to make fast gate activation at entering vg/as sites
3) Drones: eject and assist ( sentry/heavy ) faster then 10 sec ? and return to drone bay
4) PvP and bubles how to avoid and fight "them" well
5) VideoFX, round-robin and other magic what is that in simple words ( english is not my best way to understand you )
6)....
7) MOM fleet
8) Victory
Open for your ideas annd suggestions

Re: Afterlife

I'd suggest joining one of the nullsec coalitions or lowsec groups that runs nullsec/lowsec incursions. I think Test and the CFC both have groups, though I'm not sure how active they are, and I also think there are some lowsec groups that run incursions as well. You benefit from some ease of access, they benefit from having a more active group, and you both have some additional safety in numbers. Since you're probably going to die a bunch, I'd probably go with either HACs (for warp speed / agility and relative cheapness) or T1 Battleships (insurable, though slower) plus logistics support. To make your remote repairs more straightforward, you could do one or two on-grid boosters in command ships to focus aggro a bit.

I'll go with mostly Amarr just to focus things a bit (also cause you can upgrade your DPS to Nightmares if you decide to go back to hisec):

1) 10 Zealot / 3 Guardian / 1 Absolution / 1 Astarte
2) VideoFX with overviews all set up next to each other, jump command ships in first, followed by everything else.
3) You don't really have any drones to speak of.
4) Avoidance is all about using a scout or using instawarping interceptors. For fighting, you have a pretty decent deathzone for any small gang, and you're pretty much screwed if you blunder into a larger gang.
5) VideoFX lets you take a piece of each EVE client and display them all in one window. You can then make this window able to pass along any clicks you make.
6) \o/
7) I've seen broadcasts for fleets to take these things down, so if you have enough friends it can happen. The nullsec ones don't drop the Revenant BPC, so the only reason people ever cared was when the incursion was in a staging system (very rare) or if it cut a jump bridge (doesn't matter anymore). Generally, you can probably count on not getting any lp from this.

Oh hey, I just realized that you could probably do something hilarious like Ishtars (if you want to use Sentry drones) or Gilas (if you want to use medium drones) and, through the magic of drone assist, avoid a crapton of effort. I have no idea how well this would work in practice though; you would probably want to go with whatever your characters are already trained to do.
