Cutting Incursion profitability in half seems about right.

Just how few ships do you really think we lose every month during war?

what is so much more dangerous about that compared to someone who is running high sec VG incursions?

I will lose those ships + pods every month. It's not even a risk, it's a certainty.

I tell you for a start that the 2.5bil for the pimped up mach is my own isk so if i loose it im going to have to start again... my isk will run out one day....

Uh huh. I'm sure you 1) MUST have that "pimped up mach", 2) will lose that every month, 3) certainly won't be making a profit.

i dont see moons dissappearing anytime soon.

Do you have any idea what kind of costs there is associated with running an alliance in nullsec? Do you have any idea how much of the moon-derived isk is fed directly to the common goon?


You are backward so to you there is no danger becuase its an expectation that you loose ships. Thats your game.

This is my game. High sec becuase i am sick of alliance like Goonswarm having so much influence in the overall running of the game. I also have wife and kids and also a job to go to for 12 hours a day. I want to be able to sign in and have fun and not spend all my game play grinding so that i can actually achieve my end game which is to pvp.

I do have a pimped out mach that i use in my corp ops, but in general these a few hours a week considering we as a corp are all in the same boat.

Just like you i am loosing ships and i loose a lot more than you becuase we are a small corp constantly being reminded that to survive in this game you need numbers.

I am sure you are making a profit from your tanked ishtar at what 150m setuup with sentries?

jeeze i spend up to 3 bill of my own isk to make a way of being able to enjoy my end game a lot quicker and you spend a measly 150m on an ishtar and farm sanctums for just short of 70m a hour on a good day. may be close to 100m if you arent lazy and salvage wrecks and loot.


I can see right through you goons, the little goonies are getting worried that our high sec incursion communities are gonna come down to deklien and cause them trouble when all they want to do is rat in peace. You've obviously put the whole spin of time = reward saga on it but at the end of the day your only concerns are not for the good of the game [Its been publicly announced that your intentions are to screw the game up from within) but becuase you think one day the Blitzzer squads are gonna come down and make your home a bomb site.

The fact is i may loose my shiny i may not but the risk is there and if i do its going to be one big lose for me.

GEEEEEE That kinda like you goons spending 10 minutes to flush out poses and jump from one end of the universe to the other in a jf in a matter of seconds..... The shinys fleets have done no different to you morans invested isk to make it possible to create more isk quicker thats human nature you tit.

Even the title in the news is meant to convey the BS about incursions being too rewarding.

I was suspicious of this line at first. Several CSM members saying they wanted limited changes. Yet with this news post and the joining of hands to implement the drake nerf I am pretty sure in my opinion that we have ourselves a nice little push to nerf hisec.

I think this is a good point.

What is the difference between the people who have invested in a Shiny incursion fleet to make the time they spend in incursions as profitable as possible, to those people who run poses and have bought JF's........

Jf's need their Cargo hold cutting in half...

I presume you're in one of the alliances we've thrown out of nullsec because you're awful, then.

You lose more than me because you're being dumb and using an overly expensive ship, thus painting a huge "GANK ME I'M DUMB" target on your back.

I don't rat, I don't mine, I don't run anoms, because I find those activities mindboggingly boring. I do trading in jita and manufacturing in hisec instead.

This bit I have no idea what the christ you're on about, it's a mess of random rabble.

If you really think we're worried about some hisec incursion communities "coming down to deklein and cause trouble", then all I can say is: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahah. Bring it, I'm sure we'll find you guys extremely crunchy.

Yes, you "may" lose (not loose, lose. sigh.) your ship. The only place that's "safe" is in a station, you undock what you can afford to lose. You being a dumbass and flying around with a 3b ship is on you. You don't need a 3b ship to play, you don't need to paint such a huge target on your back, yet you choose to do so.

And I'm not even going to bother trying to parse the last paragraph. Stop mashing your head against the keyboard, you might end up being more intelligible.

I thought they were tweaking the setup of the various incursion sites more than anything else, to encourage the other sites to be run as well, not just vanguards or whatever incursion site is the defacto site to run now.

Who said i was using overly expensive ships? Did i actually say what ship i use?

I actually played the game with you as part of your alliance and got truely bored very quickly...

Your sheer ignorance and desire to break the game, and desire to exploit every breakable mechanic made it so easy for me to move on.

Since the 100m ph+ fleets are what EVERYONE is kicking a fuss up about then we do....

But meh - you've not invested in a JF right?

PS: You may laugh at what i said about us incursion runners coming down to make deklien a bomb shell - that dear is called framing..... I am counter framing your idea that everyone who runs incursions is making way more isk than you and is bad for the game..... with "Goonies just want to control the game so that they have no one big enough or strong enough to compete against them"....

You don't need to have any alliance costs in dominion terms to operate moons. In any case the rewards of owning (several) moons largely outweighs any costs. Not being a goon I don't know what rewards they get from owning both a large area and running an alliance, but generally, looking at the facts, its not that bad a deal it seems.

I always go for risk versus reward in eve, nothing should be free, free PI was nerfed recently and rightly so, although PI is more of a shadow of what it should have been it is rightly nerfed.

Do incursion need nerfing? Not if it gets people into fleets and out of level IV grinding and into social space. Does ratting in 0.0 present any risk whatsoever most of the time? No, perhaps that income should be halved as well then.

I myself don't do incursions, but I do like the idea of them. They need tweaking so they can't be "blitzed" and need better AI so fleets of capsuleers can be defeated which is hardly the case these days now that they have figured the Sansha battle plans/AI tactics.

On the other hand I don't mind the fact that people go and disturb sites in a kinda roleplay way, if they desire to disrupt the flow of isk they can, but this enterprise can't be done all the time on all the sites. At best its a temporary measure, and nothing new in the history of MMO gaming.

Actually the estimate is a fair average. SF's make 150mil/ph and even higher on a good day.


Bolded the important bit.


On a good day is over 150 million. In an ISN fleet I've never made less than 150ph

Well fine, once every so often we take 20 minutes, grab a drink, have a smoke, get a bite to eat, those hours we really suck and lose about a third of our income. But otherwise this is how my wallet tends to look.

Sorry that you run with fleets that suck, or fleets that have down times because they don't have wait lists and can swap in players as soon as the previous one has to leave (rather than spending 20 minutes asking in a channel "HEY GUYZ, NEED 1 DPS/LOGI")

I run as part of an organised network, payouts every 4-5 minutes. 150 mil ph is nothing more than doing 15 sites an hour, if you're not managing that as part of an organised shiny fleet then you're really doing it wrong.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

Your bound to make that much in a pimped up shiny fleets between 1700 and 19:00.

Try making that amount of isk when its peak EU tz... and then try doing them in a traditional fleet.

It does actually say that isk / ph depends very much on the time of day you are running them and for me peak times are between 19:30 right throught to at least 22:00.....

Oh I'm very much aware that non SF's make significantly less, that's why I don't feel the answer is to nerf VG payouts, just nerf the capacity to blitz them, and retune NCOs so they can't be wiped out by Legion/Slepnier fleets in mere minutes.

I should also note that the 7th of January was a Saturday, peak hour concept only tends to really kick in during the 5 day working week.

I personally don't care about the price.. this is merely proof that Incusions do dump too much into the game.

And everyone should be capable of seeing this with their own eyes. Understanding it tho.. heh.

Open market window in Forge. Click PLEX. Check its history and have it set for a year.. about how long Incursions have existed.

Ta-da.

EDIT: Little hint.. don't just examine the price. Volume moved is a better indicator.. especially when you factor that 2011 was a down year in sub-base for CCP. Moving the median average up by that much with less subs/players in the game means that PLEXs became easier to afford for people.

dropping vanguard rewards 25% or upping the risk isn't a bad idea. Bringing the other sites up to the level of reward for risk isn't a bad idea either

You are the reasoning would cause any statictician a huge facepalm. Correlation does not prove causality . The bigger correlation anyways if you look at the PLEX price graph is the eff ups in INCARNA that made many bittervets to stop paying for subscriptions & revert to PLEX while shutting down ALT accounts because they didn't like how Eve was being ignored & resources devoted to EMOavatars with fangs
