If it is true, yay more incursions!

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

A really large piece of me wishes there was still a storyline connected after incursions were released. The Sansha Nation need the boot badly, if they rotated incursions and factions it'd be pretty cool.

This thread is obviously a lie, because according to people on this forum CCP doesn't care about PVE and hasn't added any pve content in like 14 years even though EVE is only 12 years old...

Pend Insurance should brace themselves, for drifters are coming.

Oh well, it's not like they are making any profits anyway...

I just hope they are not some lame, **** easy way for risk-averse carebears to farm isk. We already have this with sansha incursions.

Let them be actually dangerous or only in dangerous space, wh space would be cool Cool

It's almost like Sansha incursions ARE dangerous. And people die to them on a daily basis.
Just like any content with a predictable AI (even drifters) people can optimise and if you always take the best most efficient people as your benchmark you are going to get a terribly flawed view on what is going on.
Calling pilots who incursion risk adverse is laughable, considering the amount of teamwork and thus reliance on OTHER people that goes on. You can't risk manage other peoples actions fully. So true risk adverse people don't incursion.

However let me also remind you of risk/reward comparision. If they are more dangerous than Sansha incursions, they must pay out that much more. Meaning once people master Drifter sites..... they will pay out even larger sums of money.

Don't get me started on insurance.

40 million ship best insurance on it is less than 0.5 million.

Now that's not insurance that's an insult.

well there is that but they also stage from wormholes and judging by the defence of these things unless they allow capitals into highsec or remove the doomsday then seems wormholes will be best place for them, i guess time will tell, highsec doesnt need another mega money carebear activity

Yesterday flew from Amarr space to Minmatar came arcoss 4 reds NPCs at a gate, then they just vanished. 5 jumps later 4 more reds at a gate (on overview) then they vanished again.

If those are the incursion rats, then I'm not sure what they're supposed to be doing as they don't seem to be doing much at all.

I agree they should pay out more than incursions if they are in dangerous space, the risk:reward ratio of incursions is highly skewed compared to other forms of pve an imo should get nerfed a little.

In Incursions you only have to deal with rats killing you. In other areas of space you have to deal with the chances of rats killing you and also the very likely scenario of other players killing you this is why incursions risk:reward is not balanced, (don't give me the **** that players kill incursion runners, it doesn't happen often enough to make it a valid counter argument) now im not say nerf incursion payouts until they are not worht running but they should not pay out as much as they do, somewhere between the average L4 mission ad the curent incursion payout level i would say.

Only rats Code, goons, and other groups that swing by to pipe bomb or suicide gank you.

Then there's the moving of your ships and god help you if you move your blinged out BS through eudama/niarja at the wrong time.

Risk exists and can be mitigated just like in other areas of space.


You don't even want to know how much isk I'm making in null while mostly AFK.


Done right level 4s can net more an hour than what you can get running incursions. Especially if you factor in rage closing of sites, wait list time, moving (which involves refitting and if you're bling the usage of extra ships and trips to safely move the bling), etc.
