Missions & Complexes

So what do people think about mixing the spawns up a bit more? I mainly do VG sites so I don't know well this would work in the higher sites.

i.e. OTA's there are always a few Auga's, a Deltole and some frigs - how about mixing the types up so we could get an Ostingele and a few Mara's instead etc? Fleets would have a good idea of ship numbers but not ship types, this could add some excitement and fluid kill orders.

Hmmm.... Little Things, eh?

The sansha Influene Bar ranges from all red with 100% penalties to all blue with 0% penalties. The appearance of this bar when you're in an Incursion constellation is always different from what the Journal Global Incursion Report shows. It's something that has always been considered a bug by the players. Fixing that would be a nice little thing.

The way fleet booster bonuses flow down through the Wing Commander position is broken and has been broken for a long time. If you could fix that, not only would Incursion runners love you even more, EVERY fleet participant everywhere would love you. This takes on extra importance with the upcoming changes that have been announced for Command Ships vs T3 booster ships. Getting all the bonuses properly applied - working as they're supposed to - would be way more than a little thing.

Although it is sandbox-y player-driven content, there have been some tensions between various Incursion communities these last few months that too often result in NO highsec incursions for extended periods of time. You could argue that an entire weekend without a single highsec incursion is content destruction. As a final "little thing", maybe you could tweak the server code to shorten the spawn time for a new highsec incursion when the last one in highsec is killed off. That would certainly help to reduce the impact of drama queens who feel it is their right to shut down the content for everyone else when they get peeved.

I have tried most things in eve now and it makes my brain hurt at how easy incursion is for the reward you get. And it gets worse, FW plex farming.. as i've read o0, isk for being afk? ?.

Exploration puts in far more effort and far more risk (unless you live in some carebear nul area) than both incursion and FW put together... yet, the rewards for the evg explorer don't compete with a afk FW farmer or a avg skilled incursion runner. At-least not in my experiance.

Great post :) thanks! Hope to see some more like this

As a relative newcomer to incursions, I thought twice about posting a response to this. Then again a new person's perspective might add something to this discussion.

I agree with the other people who have suggested that scout sites need a (positive) buff. These sites should be made more attractive to people wanting to try incursions, perhaps restricting these sites to BC's only. They could also be used as training grounds for budding FC's & logi pilots. This would avoid the many people who have bitter experiences in their initial ventures into the world of incursions, never to return.

I also believe sites (esp VG's) need to be randomised more & perhaps even made a little harder the longer you take - I recall Kodavor making this suggestion & I submit that it's one of the best so far.

Finally & bearing in mind that everything in EvE is a contest (in one form or another), I believe that there should a bonus (perhaps a +25% ISK bonus) to the fleet that wins a contested site. I realise that every anti-ISN person will probably hate this idea, but would it not be an incentive for everyone to lift their game & get better. Those against competition simply want to use incursions as a simplistic method of making ISK, so that they can simply grind through site after site. You are missing the whole point of the game & missing out on the fun.

This is a ridiculous suggestion - you already get a massive boost for winning a contested site - because there are two fleets (or more) you get the site completed far faster, win 3 contested sites in a row and you may have taken as long to do two sites without help - how much more do you want?

Added to which it would be incredibly easy to abuse - simply have a couple of alts form another fleet, one of them enters with the main fleet and gets locked up by the logi so it doesn't die if it happens to get aggro and voila - instant 25% boost in ISK to the fleet.

Hi

Contested sites rewards should be split among contesting fleets in proportion to their contribution to site completion (damage dealt for example).

To the victor go the spoils.

I do like that idea of a static trigger in sites to escalate them for greater risk=greater reward especially in the smaller sites vg/assault. I would also like to see some more specific roles introduced to incorporate e-war use and thus all round more tactical approach to sites rather than just warp in and press F1-4 for the duration of a site with the occasional broadcast for reps.

it's not like that wasn't proposed in the past (and trolled to oblivion.. i think in the end ppl suggested to use autoit macros)

Well I don't have the entire history of ideas suggested on the forums memorized, unfortunately ;) I think it fits well with the little things to help Incursion runners so I am looking in to it
