1. Vindicator (Standard)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard

A favourite ship for many experienced incursion runners due to its effectiveness.
The ship's major strength is the synergies between high alpha/dps/tracking with marauder-like 90% webs and good low/mid slot layout.
It's major weakness however is (blaster) range, which affects effective damage projection and removes any mid-range dps roles for the ship.

Not recommended as a starter ship for incursions.

The resist focus is towards the Kin/Exp side to minimize Sansha missile damage - this is the greater danger for battleships.
The EM/Therm resist it not a great concern as long as it's in the 70-75% range or higher, depending on slot/base resist limitations.

Note1:
Depending on the fleet composition, the mid slot modules can be re-shuffled to fit more tracking computers/webifiers.

Note2:
The faction EANM can be upgraded to a Centii/Corpii A-type ANP for a minor increase in resistance/buffer.

(Standard -> T2 Sniper refit)

Design Notes

Use: Assault (sniper), HQ (sniper) and Kundalini Manifest.

Simple module swaps (from Standard fitting) for sniper duty.
The ship is an effective sniper with T2 rails.

Two sensor boosters are needed as minimum to target > 150km.

Note1:
Having three tracking computers gives the flexibility of using faction Iridium effectively < 130km over T2 Spike.
However, it decreases cap life significantly by opting out on a cap recharger.

2. Vindicator (Gank)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard

A variation of the standard Vindicator with improved dps, tracking and effective damage.
The 1600mm plate is removed to free-up 1 low slot for the third magstab (or tracking enhancer).
Centii/Corpii A-type ANP are utilized to partly mitigate the loss in Kin resist.

Note1:
Depending on the fleet composition, the mid slot modules can be re-shuffled to fit more tracking computers/webifiers.

Note2:
A full passive fit can be achieved by substituting the explosive hardener with Corpum/Centum A-Type energized reactive plating.

Note3:
An alternate tank which includes a 1600mm armor plate can be fitted by omitting the T2 metastasis adjuster.
The second A-type ANP is replaced by a 1600mm plate and the rigs are re-configured for anti-kinetic pump, anti-thermic pump and trimark armor pump.
Increase in EM/Therm buffer (8%) and Kin/Exp buffer (17%) but RR def efficiency drops below 300.

(Gank -> T2 Sniper refit)

Design Notes

Use: Assault (sniper), HQ (sniper) and Kundalini Manifest.

Simple module swaps (from Gank fitting) for sniper duty.
The ship is an effective sniper with T2 rails.

Two sensor boosters are needed as minimum to target > 150km.

Note1:
It is also highly recommended that a 1600mm plate be fitted (by removing the third magstab) for the above sites to ensure higher survivability against alpha damage.
The default 15K armor is a little low for armor battleship in those sites due to the combination of alpha damage and delayed remote repair.

Note2:
Having three tracking computers gives the flexibility of using faction Iridium effectively < 130km.
This removes the need for T2 Spike for most scenarios.
However, it decreases cap life significantly by opting out on a cap recharger.

Note3:
The alternate tank with 1600mm plate configured will have the option to fit for a 2nd 1600mm plate to further increase buffer.
However, this may not be completely necessary as the default buffer is more than sufficient to ensure survivability.
