So, I had this thought a while back..why not have low sec incursions attack and put POSs into reinforcement mode?
It breaks up the incursion monotony, ads a bit more lore for the lore hounds, gives a reason to add a faction dread (or not, deltole spam), doesn't do any real harm to players, and could add a more dynamic way of creating conflict in lowsec.
Just something I wanted to get some feedback on, I have mixed feelings on it myself. |

The reasoning is quite simple actually. The null sec alliances have many, many POS's that they only need to visit to extract the moon goo and then dump fuel into. If they actually had to defend POS's that showed up in the randomized Sansha drops, oh man...
That would require actual responses to attacks, even if it is NPC. Plus, the null sec alliances can't insert spies into NPC Sansha alliances.
The only way they would know of an upcoming attack is if someone in CCP manually set the constellations where the next Incursion would occur, or if someone in CCP tipped them off. And because all CCP employees are squeaky clean, and zero CCP employees have any loyalty whatsoever to the null sec alliances, there is NO WAY for the null sec alliances to mount a quick defence to an Incursion dread fleet. |

I wish incursion rats would take shots at high sec pos I wish sleepers would attack wh pos I wish more pirate groups had their own incursions. Not to the power and size of Sansha, but with at least the Cynosural Jammer, smaller too, like two or three system events. Rewarded alternate faction navy LP with new faction variations of the new modules like drone damage or micro jump.

Hmm Incursions will try to take out or take out ANY offline POS any section of space they are in. Now that would work.
Otherwise it would turn into a shooting gallery for those POS owners. A couple of POS gunners would mean a instant cash cow.
So yeh would have to definitely limit it to offline, and when they come online they NPC's would warp away.

Imagine if their supercarrier came by and got blown up by the POS gunners. Fun ! Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd Click for old school EVE Portraits: http://jadeconstantine.web44.net/Maison.htm |

Except that you would actually have to man it. POS's don't shoot at NPC's
Hmmm then again NPC's never shoot at POS's either so. Yeh definitely need to leave that one alone.
That code is so old I don't even think CCP wants to mess with it. EVERYBODY KNOWS |

Except they plan on working on POS (soonish). Getting them to properly interact with npcs could be on the table. Or at atleast the aggression mechanics could be made to leave that open for further iteration later. |

I think it makes more sense that high sec Incursions attack high sec POSes. As it stands, absent a wardec, there's no reason to defend a high sec POS. If you had a chance to get gangbanged by a Sansha fleet, it might motivate people to add some guns. |

I actually felt my IQ lower by a point while reading this. Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |
