They should add incursion gate rats to highsec gates, it's only fair. Just some scrambling frigates. They can leave the battleships off the highsec gates. Should add a better travelling dynamic in highsec.

I must admit I was rather surprised to lose in interceptor to incursion gate rats. Even more surprised when a corpmate lost a Prowler and when a friend said he'd lost a Leopard. I don't mind that they can do this, but the insta-lock is rather astonishing. I'd tone that down to more 'realistic' levels.

If they lost a Prowler and a Leopard, they were either AFK or doing it wrong.

Quite a few people have mentioned this since CCP gave us Incursions is that when an Incursion hits a HS system it should shut off all concord interference and local naval NPC forces, that system essentially becomes a free for all.



Seconded, awesome idea.

or they went through a null system incursion possibley a HQ system, and well as anyone who's been in a null incursion system, nullsec incursion rats hit hard and fast, think a lot faster than HS ones tbt :)

It should stay and is one of the good things CCP did with Incursions.

You have options when dealing with this which adds to the game.

If your route from Point A to Point B goes through an Incursion:

A) Be prepared to combat possible rats.
B) Plan a route around contested area.
C) Take your chances, risk over lazyness.
D) Get an escort(or alt) to clear rats for you.

Eve shouldn't be about instant gratification, nor should it be that the easiest way is always the best way.

You (and everyone else calling for this) saying high sec incursions should work the same as lowsec/null sec incursions are missing the fact they already do.

What is actually happening is anywhere faction rats spawn you now get incursion rats instead.

This means in high sec you don't see them on gates and only very rarely see them near stations because you don't see normal faction rats on gates and very rarely near stations in high sec.

What you do see is the incursion rats in belts in high sec regularly.

In low sec (where you can see faction rats on gates) lo and behold you get incursion rats on gates.
