The big picture is that safer space should be hard to make "pew pew" money in, wheter it's incursions, exploration or missions. This last "nerf" was a good start, but CCP needs to do more to encourage people to look to more risky space for their fun. Because it's in that space, NOT high sec, that eve history (the history CCP markets in their big fleet fight videos) is made.
What you wrote it's true.
However the best mmos have pvp AND pve.
Atm eve only really has pvp, pve is what you do to afford pvp, just a few loonies actually have fun doing pve (even high end fleet pve).
Incursions could be the start for ccp to add actual pve content to the game.
So eve would change, not fewer chances to pvp, just more choices of good pve.
Some people would say that it'd be the end of eve; but i'm not advocating increasing concord time or changing pvp mechanics, i'm just saying: give some kind of end game for pve oriented people.
For example DED complexes and faction spawns could be removed: incursions (and other pve "dungeons" of increasing dfficulty) would drop high end modules of some kind, all others "high end" modules would come from productions and the items needed to produce them would come from ships destroyed in pvp. A salvaged archon would give material to build an x type armor rep or 2 hardeners etc.
This is just to show a point, there would surely be better ways to implement this.
However adding content is never a bad thing (if it is good content that doesnt ruin the game ofc.) |

Name these "Best MMOs"? Are any of them Sandbox MMOs built around player conflict?
Every Sandbox MMORPG I have ever played has PvP and PvE in the same sphere of gameplay. The idea of having PvE completely isolated from PvP is a Themepark MMO concept. Further more if the rewards of that PvE which is separated from from PvP, can then be used in anyway in the larger PvP environment you have effectively broken a game like EVE. |

Never said that.

But that's the way it is right now. The rewards you get from pve (isk and items from incursions/missions/exploration/rp farming/hauling/industry etc) are directly used in pvp.
Have you read my post at all?
I'm just proposing improving and changing how eve pve is arranged, not the overall game mechanics and the effects of pve on pvp.
I know a lot of people that plays eve dont just love pvp, they also hate pve so this is a tough subject to talk about but it's worth it. |

So you would get behind the idea of expanding High Sec Incursions by giving players a way to side with the Sansha and play against those players trying to stop (or rather farm) the Incursion?

I find it funny how you use the "us" vs "me/them".
Like i'm an enemy and everything that's not done by ccp is inherently evil.
Concerning the points i made in the posts above i was referring to the burning crusade expansion for world of warcraft.
I was listing wow among the "best" because of what it was able to do in terms of subscriptions and for what it did right.
One of the things it did right was having a balance between pve content and pvp content.
I'm not talking, sadly i have to repeat myself, about the general pvp mechanics of eve, i'm talking about the fact the in eve pve content is horrible and devs dont give it any thoughts.
What i'm advocating (i'm repeating myself but you seem unable to understand) it's not changing pvp mechanics or how pve interacts with pvp: i'm talking about improving pve.
For example mining is boring, ratting is boring, missioning is boring. I'm saying: let's make these activities interesting! It will have no impact on how pvp works, it'll just be better for those people who like to rat/mine/mission/incursions etc.
Hard to understand?
I'll say it again: not changing anything about the interactions between pvp and pve, just making pve better and funnier to do.

The Override Transfer Array vanguard sites need some changes. Either reduce the amount of remote repair in this sites or tone the number of spawns down a bit because the initial damage can be a bit high and if some jamming frigs appear and jams the logis it can become a disaster for the entire fleet.

Waiting times for fleets, I am not sure exactly how to do it but,
If you started a fleet with say 2 ships running scout sites ( eg 5mil per person per site upto 9 people)
Then continue building the fleet until night enough to run vanguards (eg 10-20 pilots 10mil per person per site)
Same again until you can run assaults ( say 20-30 pilots and bigger payout per pilot)
Same again till you can run hq s (say 30-50 pilots and bigger payout per pilot)
Every extra pilot makes the sites quicker to run, the bigger the sites the more isk you will make per site (so maximum isk per hour would be made from 50 pilots running hqs but you will still make some isk while running scout sites and building the fleet)

Interesting now after this effed up nerf peeps in Null sec are asking to remove Incursion from Null into Hi sec instead of the other way around. Goes to show you how much this Escalation change was tested & properly thought out
Unfortunely 'till after Inferno comes out & its inevitable major bugs are ironed out I think we'll be placed on the backburner. I've been running fleets with what I've been handed but every change brought a tediuos multipler to the sites and working together & forming fleets seems to be losing out to just soloing missions or there has been many unsubs as was suggested in: http://www.evenews24.com/2012/05/16/jesters-trek-demon-suit/ CCP Soundwave "Incursions are not a big issue in terms of isk globally" |

WoW is the only MMO I've ever heard of where bots are an issue in PvP. But even if it wasn't terrible PvP, it is still themepark segregated pve/pvp.

So have I. But since the incursion nerf it is very difficult to get into a good fleet that keeps going. Summer is pretty dead and even ISN has some challenges keeping fleets active. Running anoms in a carrier with 1 toon gets me around 80mil per hour consistently, while Incursions can do it, you wait for fleets and people come and go and the fleet slows down. With that 80mil comes salvage and the chance of DED sites, while Incursions do have LP. Guess it all depends on how smoothly the incursion fleet you in runs.

Meanwhile incursions community stagnated into couple of hundreds folks with less than 20 capable fleet commanders which could be found easily within 1-2 incursion constellations to be asked about issues with incursions. I guess it will take 20-30 minutes to make a poll about possible changes in incursions, 5 minutes to send personal messages to those 20 FCs (I'm sure they will be more than happy to answer) and a day to gather information from first hands instead of reading 16 pages of mostly useless trolling. |

The problem with asking incursion FCs about incursion changes is that the replies will inevitably be along the lines of "you went too far, we want more isk/hour".
You cannot expect CCP to rely on a source of information that is so blatantly biased.

Honestly... Incursions were actually decently fun, and they are what got me to stay with the game after being away for almost two years.
To fix the null/low sec thing: Multiply their current payout times about three. I think people might run vanguards in low if they paid out 45mil... I'd certainly fit out a low sec maelstrom right now to do them. If I lose a ship every twenty sites (due to pvp, or too much alpha, whatever), I would still be making quite a decent amount of money. If we want to talk about risk versus reward: there ya go. If you could get an alpha rofl fleet going and do 6 minute sites, that would be 450mil ISK an hour, at the risk of losing your multi billion ISK ships to do so.
I think people might just do it for that much money, plus they can't get hotdropped by capitals while doing it. If that's too much, make go to about 2x payout. My point is when you have to invest more than a throwaway amount of money into something it has to pay enough to make up for the risk. Turning on that PvP enabled flag in which death means losing many, many hours worth of work? I think people are a bit masochistic to assume that anything but the sweetest of bread crumbs would encourage that. Certainly not for a few extra million per site, when the risk is to lose three hundred of those millions (or far more with a shiny ship).
Make the low/null sec influence go up much faster. DO NOT make it visible from a distance, so that it has to be scouted to see if people are doing them in that area in low/null (Concord I'm sure has Op Sec sense enough to at least do that: not exclaim, "hey these guys which are doing us a favor, hey, come blow them up please!"). Although the hotspot of activity from the map will probably do a decent job of doing this.
Secondly, let some faction mods and BPCs occasionally drop for the smaller fleets. Maybe like some frigates in Vanguards, cruiser BPCs in assaults, and battleships in HQs. Give ninja looters something to ninja loot and cause drama (outside of the moms) I think that anytime you have to bash a structure for 10 minutes with a forty man fleet, it should drop some kind of loot... Might want to make it not always Sansha designs and stuff or the market may crash for them. Sure, the moms drop some nice stuff, but YOU (as in, the peon with the guns) will never get a chance to see it without either paying absurd amounts for them or getting banned and basically unable to run incursions unless you can create your own community of people that also wishes to be ostracized by the main incursion community and did so because they're greedy pricks.
And the obvious "fix the OTAs and make them less dumb". It feels like the forum game, corrupt a wish, where everyone wished for more OTAs and someone replied, "Granted, but now they suck and you hate them."
Furthermore, I absolutely love the idea of varied sites (Repping/defending a station, escorting a convoy of valuable goods under attack of sansha, more stuff like what's in HQs but for vanguards. Little special mechanics that make things interesting rather than "KILL ALL THE THINGS!!!"). Maybe you have to have a tackler for a mission who runs up to a sansha officer and scrams him before he can warp off to earn extra loot or something.
Also, make people with 5.0+ of Sansha faction not be attacked by the Sansha in the sites (or some other high amount that guarantees being ostracized in empire, like 8.0 or something), so the Sansha roleplayers can really mess up the day of the incursion runners. Maybe, if the incursion is not rebuffed, it becomes sovereignty of Sansha's Nation until the Mom can be defeated? |

Certainly not for a few extra million per site, when the risk is to lose three hundred of those millions (or far more with a shiny ship). I think it would be more reasonable to say that 10-12minutes would probably be the average for a low sec fleet, so they should make AT LEAST 100mil per hr in vanguards. The problem with buffing low sec and null sec incursions is that this leads to rampant inflation, and it is a redundant strategy anyway.
Income in Eve is relative, nerfing high sec has the same effect as buffing low and null. It's just less popular because it involves the word "nerf".

I agree on this point, having incursions on the map and having all the sites show on the overview and easily be warped to is largely incompatible with null and low sec.

It would be annoying, but not much else.

It's late, so perhaps I wasn't being clear, and I admitted that it would likely be a bit... much. Not trying to break the economy, so maybe x2 or 1.5x would be better. In any case, it is clear the the activity is not profitable enough (because no one is doing them - period). Nerfing High Sec side of this won't change that.
But I was talking about the "super alpha fleet" which has 11 people (at least - which would slip that payout and lower it significantly) and several offgrid boosters while using about 30billion in ships to do so. Don't forget that Sansha also scrams many of these people, so they wouldn't be able to disengage without killing the sansha first (meanwhile, their logistic chain is incredibly vulnerable and the reps must flow for them to all not die)
I don't think it would be unreasonable for your as-well-put-together-as-anyone-dares fleet to make about 100mil, and the exceptionally shiny to make a bit more than that.
I think what would be more likely is people take 15-20 ships into the 10 man site if they could.
Failing that, just letting decent loot drop from vanguards, so that they have the occasional massive boost rather than a high sustained income, would be a good carrot. |

In any case, it is clear the the activity is not profitable enough (because no one is doing them - period). Nerfing High Sec side of this won't change that.
But I was talking about the "super alpha fleet" which has 11 people (at least - which would slip that payout and lower it significantly) and several offgrid boosters while using about 30billion in ships to do so. Don't forget that Sansha also scrams many of these people, so they wouldn't be able to disengage without killing the sansha first (meanwhile, their logistic chain is incredibly vulnerable and the reps must flow for them to all not die)
I don't think it would be unreasonable for your as-well-put-together-as-anyone-dares fleet to make about 100mil, and the exceptionally shiny to make a bit more than that.
I think what would be more likely is people take 15-20 ships into the 10 man site if they could.
Failing that, just letting decent loot drop from vanguards, so that they have the occasional massive boost rather than a high sustained income, would be a good carrot. hell no!!!!
noone ask the incursion runners to fly that 3b ships, they do it voluntarily, it's the risk they accept for the privilege of flying shinies, not the risk of incursion.
and VG is easy, dont say that VG is risky, logistics repping is super easy and safe, been there done that. in all high end pve content, NPC can scram, web, neut, nothing new

Sure - first-hands experience doesn't matter when we have feelings which are easier to express, interpret and much more important than facts and opinions of small minority of actually involved players. |
