I'm just so happy that the silly little incursion bears made an attempt to grief us tonight. Sure they only managed to get a couple ships killed and we still finished the site but it's just wonderful to see them slowly turning into griefers themselves.

That had to be the lamest mass suicide jamming attempt I ever saw.


Even I, who fails at every MMO ever played, could have thought of a better way to do that.

In fact that was the only mass suicide jamming attempt I've ever seen. Probably because of how lame and ineffective it was P

I was there

Hats off to the logi pilots.. I asked n got needed reps on que every time, even before I signal'd need sometimes.

Ewar gank swarm.. TS troll attack (which was hilarious more so than a problem).. honestly am glad you guys attempt to fight back and doing what makes EVE great, welcome to our world. My apologizes.. not 'our world'.. welcome to EVE.

Lesson of the day.. only T2 was logi ships.. no faction ships, probably very few if any faction mods.. T1 battleships (+ cap problems, come on guys!).. very low numbers without scorpions support.. and through everything it was a success. Lesson being, quality of ships don't mean **** when compared to the quality of the pilots.

I now have a memory of an epic encounter against overwhelming odds, taking a signficant risk and going for it reguardless.. and coming out on top. A memory more valuable, and longer lasting.. than my wallet blinking with disneydollars.

PS - Yes, posted this on CnP. I feel my experince needs to be conveyed to a wider audience so they too might be compelled to take the fight into their own hands as well, for either side.. makes no difference to me.

There is more to EVE than grinding ISK, especially when you're only doing it...so you can make even more ISK more quickly.

That is all.

You know, it is pretty cool that they at least came up with something and TRIED it... Regardless of how effective or ineffective it was.

IMHO much better than the constant complaining about griefers and lack of action to do anything about it that I expected.

afik the main issue with incursions that needs to be fixed is the ease of isk printng, which causes inflation, they are too easy for the amount of isk made from them, so if bricks are closing them quickly, i approve :)

It also came with little 500m3 rocket ships that you had to go fetch the container for after launch. Purchase of NPC POS fuels use to to be an ISK sink. It no longer is. Considering the money I'm making from PI, it is a very large ISK sink that is no longer there.



There's still a sink there though.

Not the hugest sink in the world, but the taxes are still taking a bite.

Woo! CSM XI!

I thought we were just running incursions as CCP intended. I didn't realize we were doing it wrong Sad


the problem is the arbitrary min max timers on incursions are all out of whack.

At least in regard to the fact people can play for 10 hours a day, run vg's at a site per 4 mins and do all this for a week straight. Thats excessive and probably not what ccp intended.

On the other side of the coin is the people who close an incursion within hours of it spawning, often closing all readily accessable ones leaving a couple low/null sec sites (in someone elses controlled space).

Put a 1-2 day min timer on the incursion spawn, but reduce isk for vg's or put a limit on vg sites. despawn vg sites after a set amount of site kills. Yes this will impact those shiney fleets and people i know personally. But i think even they would agree that a reduced payout from vg's beats no incursions at all lol

I dont think either the farmers or the instapoppers are exploiting anything, i think both are rolling with the fact that, the min max timers exist as they do so they will play them to such extremes
