What - the crap audio. The incessant drone. The PITA? One or all?

And as for mining, I am quite sure we wont be going into any of the sites, Orca costs, newbie miners have no tank. And everyone else doing sites is 4 jumps away - all 200 of them - milking the cow.

The cow should be more intelligent and leave, and fair enough, if it takes 2 hours for that 200 to kill the cow, the reward should be the same or commensurate.

At the moment its a week of 'hell' and that nothing to do with the actual game, its to do with the way its being farmed.


How about you stop whining that someone pissed in your sandbox and go mine 3 systems over? Would that be just too hard? You're acting like you want a personal apology from Sansha Kuvakei himself for your minor inconvenience.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

While there open your Display & Graphics settings tab and set 'Post Processing' to 'None' and the visual effect goes away as well.


Yup - way to design a game.

Annoying feature - just disable everything.

And you stopped milking that come, came all the way here and added some constructive comments. Is it the thought that your dribble inducing isk supply might dry up if they took away your toys?

Wait for 6-12 months and you'll find out incursions are the only PvE activity in EVE which doesn't make you sick instantly.

P. S. I wish incursions-like activity was presented in every MMO game (free-for-all public raids with decent income). But no - instead there are stupid circus-like raids with 3% chance to drop.

Actually it is kind of funny, right. Every time CCP adds something to the game the first posts in GD are; How do I turn it off.
Warp effect; How do I turn it off.
Jump effect; how do I turn it off.
Audio effect; How do I turn it off.
Random Visual effect; how do I turn it off.

Eve Online, should rename the game to; How do I turn it off Online. Big smile

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.

While we are at it: where is the checkbox "turn off incursion in this system"?

That's nonsense.

Miners can mine and missioners can do missions. Miners got the bad end, as they will have Incursion-rats in their belts (which are going to blow them up), but missioners can do just fine once the bar hits blue - without any impact at all (ok, maybe they're going to see some rats on gates, but that's it).

TLDR: If you can't mission with an incursion in your constellation, you should work on your piloting skill.


And yes, I used to farm missions with an incursion in constellation. Thanks to the communites, the bar was allways blue and gone on day 3 or so.

Well to be totally honest there is a 50% reduction in mission bounties regardless of the bar status.

I don't even run incursions, just wanted to tell you now that your whining is pathetic. Biomass now. And telling you to go mine somewhere else IS a very constructive comment, because apparently you hadn't thought of it before.

An expert then, no genius, no ... there is no accolade high enough. You approach life with gusto and guile, always eloquent and sure. I envy you, yes I do. Really really do.

It can´t be about the money because there is an option to earn double to triple the ISK mission-running makes.

Yep, it´s doing....Incursions. Blink

I have individual mods on my Vindi that cost more than your entire mining op. Sorry to say, but I'm not worried about displacing a few month-old noobs who *gasp* have to up and move two jumps away to keep mining their 'roids.

This pretty much sums it up. Whoever claims incursions is bearable clearly grew immune to the level of douchery present in any proper blingfleet.

honestly your crying about incursions is nothing compared to what they do in nullsec. The rats camp gates and basically insta kill anyone who jumps into it.

they break jump bridges and do no allow cynos to be lit. which means in whatever constellation they spawn in are effectively shut down for a week..


His sec incursions really arent that much of a hindrance. not like you can move your mining fleet 4 jumps away or mission in system and lose some isk. Or hell move to the next closest agent you have...Not like there isnt hundreds of them. Or join in the incursion communities. Not like they dont have t1 fits for new pilots. might take a bit longer to get into fleet but once you do dont leave. Line your wallet.

isk gold mine opens up on doorstep - makes thread to whine about being handed everything on a plate.

does that about sum it up?

So yet another incursion round our way, and something that seems

In its wake, come the mass of orcas and bling. These people add nothing
to the the local economy, an inversion of the norm. Bloated gangs of
grinders hit the hardest parts of incursions immediately. There is little
to no chance of 'getting in' as a noob, and its either a bling boat or
logi V for acceptance.

So what is wrong with incursions?

That little bar showing the level of invasion quickly turns totally
blue. It then stays that way being milked for the whole weekend. Sansha
Bob has been sighted, but nobody is going for him. Why is it so
crap? Well, it ruins a game for a load of 'locals' who have to up and
ship out for the duration. The unreality of Sansah sitting there taking
an everlasting beating is toytown in itself.

The simplest solution? Once the 'skull' appears. You have 14 hours to
find/kill the carrier or Sansha retreat and go elsewhere. That might drive
the competition a bit.


What if I told you you do not really need a blinged out boat to run incursion?
Indeed I've ran in many an incursion group with just a mealstrom and a t2 tank. I didn't even have t2 guns either just meta 4...

I like when incursions swing by cause then I can either gank the shiny or sell lots of faction ammo.
