I am trying to figure out why there are less people doing incursions. How badly was it nerfed? How come there are no guides on how to run the post nerfed sites?

I am not sure what you are referring to, Incursions were nerfed to hell then after about 2 months they changed it back a little, So essentially they made them 70% harder then made them 50% easier all the while making them 10% less profitable or 50% depends on who you talk to (some exaggeration). End result was 25% harder and 10% less profit but still easy enough to make 100 mil an hour.

They incursion communities are still going strong, although fewer and fewer fleets are formed from incursion local, most fleets are from community channels specializing in armour/shield/shiny/German/so on and so forth.

As far as information on how to do them: Nine different sites with a different tactic and ideal fitting requirement for each one, defined by what community you want to fly with, and who brings what to the fleet.

So a simple explanation is not really available. Easy answer is go to the Incursion nearest you, get in some of the chat channels and see who fits you best.

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.

Most of the incursion communities I have found to be pretty helpful. Since the communities did get hammered, they seem helpful in getting new pilots up to speed. I would join one of their channels based on what you want to fly (armor or shield) and nicely ask about fitting advice.

goldiee is right. Incursions did lost a lot of people and only few stayed strugling to do it (a habbit is a habbit ) but ever since the little fix they started to gain more and more people. There are stil some "i will show you the power" problems between communities but this is nice to have . So first you need to see what you like to fly armor ships or shield ships then join the right channel. Be positive and you will meet some nice people there and make new friends
