Part of the minutes mention the incursions should eb more than DPS=win when contesting.

How about a loto, You do 70% of the dmg you have a 70% chance to "win" the site.

So all fleet types are still encouraged to contest but a shinny fleet will not always win.

What?

Frankly, contesting incursion sites is ******** anyway. How about this for a counter proposal: If no fleet does more than 70% of the total damage on it's own, no reward is given at all.

It's hard to think of anything other than DPS the competition could be based on, although something that allowed a competing group to win after joining at a later stage would be nice. Like winning based on percentage of DPS on the final rat, which could lead to sniping ninja incursion runners.

Would certainly shake up BTL a bit, I imagine rage concerning stealing sites in this way would emerge rather quickly. Although it would be difficult to balance between armor and shield fleets. Still, I think CCP have suggested they already have incursion changed forthcoming in the next patch didn't they?

Should be interesting to see what they are, I think any discussion on changes to competition mechanics would best be left until we know if the changes are major/minor in terms of the way sites work.

I don't have a better alternative, but Eve needs fewer chance-based mechanics, not more. Chance can be gamed and cause lots of butthurt.

Think of Falcons.
