Missions & Complexes

Would it be too much to ask that Incursions hit all 4 empires equally rather than to make it completely random, to prevent that amarr gets most of the incursions because it is simply the largest empire?

This would mean that people who are at bad standings with Amarr don't get blocked from doing by far most Incursions.

The Cialis effect eh?

If you experience an incursion lasting more than four hours...

Why should incursions hit every empire equally when one empire holds more space than others?

In Eve, decisions have consequences. The decision to tank your Amarr standing has a consequence. It might not be a consequence that you meant to have, but ignorance of the law is no defense. Besides, incursions have been going on for over a year, it doesn't take that long to grind standings back up if you really want to.

Pissing off the biggest empire in eve has to have SOME consequences

I recall in the first few months after they started there was a strech of 14+ Amarr HI SEC Incursion spawns in a row... I ended up doing the data center tag trick soon afterwards. Seems that the spawns had been mre spread out the past few months but the past week week & a half been Amarr centered.

Personally, I'd see incursions, missions, pvp and mining and the other major activities in Eve as idealy equally valid ways of playing the game, meaning they should each cover income and difficulty across all ranges. This way the choice isn't 'what's the fastest way to make money?' but rather, 'which way of making money do I enjoy the most?'.
Incursions being as popular as they are currently isn't just based on how fun the feature is, it's based also on how fast a source of income it is, which in turn is based on it's expected difficulty when it was designed. So under the current design, you'd be right, incursions can 'overrule' the other features somewhat. But letting Incursions increase your standings for the empires isn't the cause of it.

um...so wait a second. Your saying that having bad standings, which is easy to get if you do some missions, and not being able to enter a certain region of space is not a good reason to have that same content in other regions?

While your argument for not moving them is....


you have to fly a long ways to get there?


From a game design perspective, choice that has an impact is preferable to bland homogeneity, hands down. A choice which has no consequence is meaningless. Your choice is simple, don't screw up Amarr standings autopilot or htfu and fly your ship to where the content is you want to run.

deal with it.

edit: are you space santa? you look like space santa.

You are not "blocked" from running incursions, faction navies can hardly stop a warship from running through their space (unless you try AP). Not to mention CCP has made it significantly easier to regain standings, as opposed to the days you couldn't run any missions once your faction standing reached -5.0, at least now you always have lvl 1's available.

I remember the days of going 42 jumps to Khanid agents so that one of my characters would not get shot at on the way to Jita. Instead now, I closely watch my faction standings, mixing in diverse agents when needed to prevent limiting myself.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be asking for boosts with all 4 factions for anyone that shoots incursion sansha's (since according to EvE lore, the 4 factions originally banded together to (almost) wipe out sansha's in the first place).

Numbers are hard aren't they?
