Incursions - Multiboxers Dream

[tchallawow]

Rather than hijack and existing thread, I thought I'd ask if there were some updates from folks whom are 4-5 boxing incursions since this thread opened up. If so, I'd appreciate some info on fleet make-up and any other tidbits.

Cheers!

I dont think it's really viable to do 10 man incursions with 5 pilots and have it be near the risk/reward ratio of other things you can do like L4's. You really need 3 logistics ships for safe 10 mans and that would only leave you with 2 dps ships. Compare that to a full group of 10 that has 7 dps ships they'll be clearing it more than 3.5 times as fast as you can most likely. What multiboxers really need to do if they want to stick to 5 or less ships is team up in pairs, have one guy do 3 logis and a booster and have the other guy do 5 or 6 DPS. You can really make some good cash clearing 10 man incursions - they are just as if not more profitable than the 20 and 40 man incursions that I'm running and I have just a buttload of isk right now playing rather casually.

maybe that's what I'll aim for Krom. I've training up all 4 drakes and as I skill more, maybe I'll transition to 3 basi and 1 drake booster or somethign like that. (tips appreciated)

With that set-up perhaps I can get invited to some multiboxing groups that are out there....

sounds good. shield groups are preferred mainly due to the shield rep happening at the start of the cycle (instant heal) and the armor rep happening at the end (5-6 second heal). But for 10 mans a strong armor gang of 3 logi 7 t3's has no problem. Your ideal shield booster is a Tengu, he gets the most bonuses to shield warfare links, followed by a Vulture and then there's the Drake which suffices but has no bonuses.

As for ideal DPS ships the Tengu is again on the list along with faction battleships such as the Mach and the Nightmare. Here's a great list of fits with various (many many) DPS ships that work well for incursions

I don't think you'll need any sniper fits for 10 mans but i could be wrong.
