You'll see many posts here that show the incursion community is not unified, and many are ok with the current state.

I still think reshipping to Tornadoes and sitting on the Kundalini gate is the way to go.....

I guess this comment just rubs me wrong, ‘the risk doesn't equal the reward’. Yesterday I saw three ship lost in one site for a total of 4 to 9 billion ISK. I know in some groups there is an expectation of losing one ship a day/shift (More if last night was an example). Other groups lose one ship every 3 months or so, but when they do it is usually up to 10 billion. A rough look at losses by system shows me about 20 billion lost per constellation/per day for last month, a rough total of 600bilion.

So the ‘Incursions are no risk’ crowd can only be trolling for a bite, or have completely lost the plot, perhaps their Kill-board is littered with 5 billion ISK cruisers they lose every night to unnamed players.

The low/Nul sec ratters that spend their days scavenging Pith-A and Gist-X modules that used to sit on the market till some Super/Titan pilot bought it 3 months later are happy they have a more reliable customer base.
The Nul/Low campers and pirates are happy they have explorers to gank.
The market Gurus are happy they have ISK to invest.
The Incursion runners are happy they can afford to lose the occasional 5 billion ISK ship and be able to replace it.

But there always seems to be an economics dropout that is convinced Incursion ISK has ruined the game and is the root cause of global warming.

Roll the dice, get in fleet, hope the Logi doesn’t make a mistake, or you miss a broadcast, or the FC turns out to be setting up for a logi trap (There are no logis) with your 5 to 8 billion ISK ship. I don’t see anything but risk, and then some genius thinks it’s a good idea to add Low sec to that formula, well that’s not risk, it’s just stupid.

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.

I just want more incursion version, like Angel, Guristas and some for gallente side. So instead of multi sansha incursions there will be one of every kind in the same time.


This! Recommend OP update original post to include!

+1 for great ideas. Supported.

More Character Customization :: Especially compared to what we had in 2003...

Something someone said about sansha rats killing their destroyer reminded me...

Sansha rats in belts don't give LP, ISK or anything at all. Why is that a good idea?


They do, it's just not very much.

Before I had ever run an incursion, I made the mistake of trying to mine in a system under Incursion. I got my Mackinaw out, flew back in a Harbinger, and blew up the belt rats out of spite. I got 50,000 ISK for my trouble.

When the Incursion closed, I got 50 LP from CONCORD for doing my part to drive back the Sansha menace.
