EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello I've been pilot for only 2months. These are the Qs i do want to know.

1. What is incursion?
2. What will happen in incursion?
3. My corp said I may focus on absolution for incursion.( I'm now focusing on laser and amarr ships.) Then what's the main purpose for absolution. Firing or tanking?

Many Thanks!

1. Incursions are a form of PvE involving moving to specific constellations that are "under incursion" and engaging NPCs at specific sites in those systems for a monetary and LP reward.


2. A group of players (the size of the group is determined by the class of site; see the link above for group sizes) will warp to a beacon an incursion system, then enter the deadspace site using an acceleration gate at the beacon, and blow up the rats inside. Certain sites also require you to bring certain items to the site to finish it, but these will likely be handled by other portions of your fleet.

Once the rats are destroyed and any items needed have been dropped off, the site will finish, rewarding you with a fixed amount of ISK and Loyalty Points (LP) for the CONCORD LP store. The site will de-spawn, and another site will spawn to replace it in that system.

HOWEVER, while the ISK is delivered instantly, the loyalty points will be held in "limbo" until the entire incursion - not just the sites you run - is completed. The incursion is complete after roughly 1-2 weeks OR when an NPC supercarrier is destroyed; however, Incursions are typically left to linger until right before they would disappear due to time in order to farm the ISK and LP rewards.


3. In order to run incursions you will have to both do damage and tank incoming damage. You will NOT have to repair your own damage - that will be handled by logistics ships in fleet using remote repair modules. You must only increase your resistances using armor hardeners in order to minimize the amount of damage that is actually done to you, while destroying the NPCs.

What you will want:
- Tech 2 armor hardeners.
- Tech 2 Heavy Pulse Lasers
- Tech 2 Stasis Webifiers (in order to slow the targets down and make them easier to hit).
- Armor resistance skills in order to increase your armor's resistance to incoming damage.
