I noticed one little thing that keeps getting overlooked, and it wasn't mentioned in a dev blog regarding Incursion changes in Hyperion, and that is low sec Incursions.
For example, there are always 2 Incursion sites in both high sec and null, but always 1 site in low sec. May I ask is there a valid reason for this?

That is somewhat strange from RP perspective as Sanshas Incursions should flourish in such an enviroment, when everyone is fighting everyone and there is none of Concord or Huge null sec empires to face, so Sanshas with their organised raids should make a lot of slaves from locals. Or they in fact taken them all before and only few are left to be enslaved. P

ok, so your original thought is basically one that ccp is keen on providing more content to more populated areas, rather than provide content to attract people to less populated areas?
also, in terms of activity such as pvp, can you really say that low sec is on the bottom list? couple of highly profiled fights comes to mind..

There's no valid reason to have incursions.

Hopefully it's all part of a CCP secret troll plan to eliminate highsec incursions altogether and have 3 incursions in lowsec. Blink

If you are saying make the losec incursion spread further and further taking more and more systems, spreading like a plague, left unchallenged by us ? then i say yes plus 1

make incursions a plague that spreads if its not destroyed. Incursion 2.0

their resources arent free, why they should waste cpu time on things nobody uses?
who is actually running that low sec incursion? if nobody bother with one, why they should add more?

using that logic they could wipe out half of new eden for that matter, keep jita, ammar, and couple more 'used' places. but somehow i don't think that's the reasoning behind the fact that since the introduction of incursions, there were always 2 incursions in high sec and 2 in null, and 1 in low sec.
as for running them, there are lots of people that used to ran them, myself included (not sure about anymore), but only if it didn't require jumping across half of new eden.

I hope they don't add more to lowsec, every time the Incursion shows up in my area the whole place grinds to a halt for it's duration. FW dies down, no one goes out ratting or mining, locals vanish for a while, it's really not nice. Not for me atleast. It's just an inconvinience every time they show up for a day or two.

3 incursions in null, 1 in low, 3 in high sec. Despite popular opinion size matters.

Is anyone doing lowsec incursions?
The highseccers?

Surely not, right?

And of recent the systems that Gal Mil has taken have been some of the most violent pvp systems in game.

Let's just be clear that we only got incursions because it was an expansion in that period where CCP had 5 people working on EvE. Somebody went oh my god we need an expansion idea! Hilmar said......let's copy and paste sleeper AI, make a couple of new spreadsheets and call it an expansion!

As for why only 1 in lowsec. It's no secret that CCP does not care about lowsec. It's just a place for bored folks from nullsec and people too lazy to head to nullsec.....oh and FW alts in some spots.
