EVE General Discussion

They usually get ganked on gates. Way easier than trying to get the loot out of a site with a fleet and npc rats inside.
Gankers want easy kills - if they wanted a challenge they wouldn't gank.

You would need A LOT of smartbombs to kill an incursion battleship. They usually have 100k+ EHP.

Kill the logi, and the rest of the fleet dies.

Yes and no. Some people run around preloading sites in the hope someone died through the game mechanics then swoop in and scoop loot.

As a Incursion runner myself I have always wondered why people don't gank us. I know of 2 people officer fit, and the rest at 4b+ in most communitys.

Don't come and gank us, but on the flip side please do as its all part of the game and it would help keep certain people in their place

Never done it because I always figured the fleet AWOXers wouldnt like someone muscling in on their patch

I would imagine it would be quite hard to do cause they allways have logi support and buffer tank. Both in combination= hard to gank. Well you would need to throw alot of money into the gank ship to be aible to do something.

You should tell Sansha Kuvakei he's doing it wrong

Invasions of Empires should always be directed towards their useless fringe provinces and not their industrial heartlands

He is doing it wrong. He's losing every fight.

It would be very easy to gank a individual, simply put a point on them as the rest of the fleet engages gate and enters a site, leaving said target alone and helpless

Please don't talk about this risk/reward crap.
A couple things:

1. The current state of incursions is that one or two groups are intent on shutting down all but one of the high sec sites, or in many cases, ALL of the high sec sites, so there are NO high sec incursions. As I type this, 3 are up. One is a high sec island that is surrounded by about 8 jumps of low, and has been up for about 5 days.
The other two appeared less than 24 hours ago, and Incursion runners went almost 48 hours without ANY sites, because the two true high sec sites were popped prematurely by ISN and DIN about an hour apart on Wednesday.

So the ISK faucet you talk about is simply a lie.

2. The risk to run one of these is high. There are tons of gankers around, and people lose ships all the time. So don't start this crap about risk-free.

Further, given that missions just got hammered with the loot nerf, that means there will be even more pressure on these sites as more people turn to them to fund their gameplay.
If incursions get wrecked (actually when, as the cartels are working on that with the CSM), you can just watch a big drop in subs.

I have not.

I sometimes add afterthoughts, but I never remove or fundamentally change anything that is already there.

And I don't appreciate you making this false accusation either.
