I've been doing incursions now for a few months. I'm Somewhat a vet at Vanguards and partake in as many Mom sites as I can. But something that still bugs me is that there are far too many people doing Vanguards.

I've been flying in Assault fleets the last few days and enjoyed it (in the most part) The only part I really disliked was "Nation Consolidation Network" These sites require a very specific composition of fleet and take twice as long as any other assault site. Yet pay out the exact same. I understand that no matter how you attempt to balance things some will always be easier than others. But it is my belief that these sites are the reason so few Assault fleets form.

If the number of active gates or NPC's were reduced to make the sites a little quicker or the pay out increased on these specifically then I feel more fleets would form up for assaults rather than choking the Vanguard systems.

And if there was more competition in Assault systems I'm sure you'd see more Assault fleets forming into Headquarter fleets also.

I've partaken in a few Headquarter sites, but found it immensely difficult to get the fleet formed. When I see that CCP's formula works well enough.

2 x Vanguard fleets = Assault fleet
2 x Assault fleets = Headquarter fleet

They used to be popular, then CCP stopped letting logis in BS side.

They weren't popular in the past, they were doable. Then CCP screwed it up and they were no longer doable. Well that's been fixed now and they're doable again.

They are doable, but they take a very specific fleet composition, and even with that comp, they take much longer than the other 2 assault site types.

I don't really mind the required fleet composition, but it would be nice if they didn't take so much damn longer than the other assault site types.

The fleet I've been working with can down the other sites in under 15 minutes. the NCN's require 30 mins.

As I said, I like the concept. But maybe reduce the number of gates before your fleets merge.
