Drone assist for vanguard incursion sites?

[gomeler]

Just completed a Nation Commander Outpost in 22 minutes. Those jams were hilarious, almost lost a basi. While I know I'm excited because this is a new experience, I could see this being a fun challenge for the next couple of weeks.

5x Cruise Missile Launchers w/ Auto Targeting Cruise Missiles + Drone Link AUg

Ooh.. I didn't even think of auto targeting missiles. That's hilarious, how do they perform or are you just theorycrafting it? I'll have to give that whirl.

edit: correction, 22 minutes for the NCO. I spend most of my time missing frigates with the gardes. I fit 3 omnis but I put two range script and only 1 tracking script. Going to tinker with the fit, go triple tracking scripts and faction webs on the Loki to get a little more web range. Haven't tried an OTA or NMC yet, NMC seems straight forward with the ore, not sure how I'll handle the hacking for the OTA. Guessing one of my logi pilots will lose a mid to fit a hacker.

I was theorycrafting the missiles. From what people tell me, FoF is still shite and on the same level as Defenders.
I lost a painter on my Loki for a hacking module myself, but you can alpha past the reps of any frigate, most of the cruisers, and the Deltole won't be too difficult.

Which gave me 100km optimal or so with Gardes. However, CCP recently fixed the Scope rigs, so my new fit would be something like this:

Since I've only run one of the three sites, is that much optimal needed for one of the particular sites?

OTA's spawn around 100km or so from where I parked my fleet.
NMCs are around 75ish from warp-in on one of the spawns.
NCOs are 40ish and closer.

It's player preference really, but I liked being able to snipe out Niarjas at 100km in the OTAs. It's been a while, so my pre-Scope nerfed RS may have had more tracking speed scripts than I remember.
