How can you tell? Your eyes dont even point in the same direction
And as I said, what purpose would that serve? Ive read your editted point that you made in your post after the fact, and it still doesnt change the problem with your suggestion;

Not to mention imagine the meta involved in high-sec making deals with low-sec pirates/residents for safe-passage and perhaps even protection. And, ofc, being that much closer to Null also taking interest in crossing into Low for those self same Incursions. Please don't talk about this risk/reward crap. A couple things: 1. The current state of incursions is that one or two groups are intent on shutting down all but one of the high sec sites, or in many cases, ALL of the high sec sites, so there are NO high sec incursions. As I type this, 3 are up. One is a high sec island that is surrounded by about 8 jumps of low, and has been up for about 5 days. The other two appeared less than 24 hours ago, and Incursion runners went almost 48 hours without ANY sites, because the two true high sec sites were popped prematurely by ISN and DIN about an hour apart on Wednesday. So the ISK faucet you talk about is simply a lie. 2. The risk to run one of these is high. There are tons of gankers around, and people lose ships all the time. So don't start this crap about risk-free. Further, given that missions just got hammered with the loot nerf, that means there will be even more pressure on these sites as more people turn to them to fund their gameplay. If incursions get wrecked (actually when, as the cartels are working on that with the CSM), you can just watch a big drop in subs.
Wait, what? Theres only 3 incursions up at any time?

Taking out key lowsec provinces would severely limit trade with the null empires, which would be very helpful for his cause. Sansha could also recruit capsuleers to help the invasion instead of them being Concorded.
From a strategic perspective, it makes much more sense for him to invade low sec. |

that much ewar is instant sansha hate, you could jam the logis and it may cause the fleet to lose 1 ship, then then all those ewar ships would go off like firecrackers, not to mention with the 30 battleships piloted by the fleet now locking up all those flashy reds too.
In a nutshell jamming logis has been tried before and it failed to kill anything.
The fleets with stuff worth killing are going to tear any reasonable size gank fleet a new butthole more or less, unless the gank crew goes in vastly over equiped, talking multiple ships per target. Leaving the only likely candidates as the odd rich person in the lowest tier incursion fleets, or just doing the usual and hitting single targets during transit between focuses |

As a Incursion runner myself I have always wondered why people don't gank us. I know of 2 people officer fit, and the rest at 4b+ in most communitys.
Don't come and gank us, but on the flip side please do as its all part of the game and it would help keep certain people in their place You do? Well I was in an incursion that got dropped on by gankers... all of them died.. and no one in the incursion died. Solo, you might as well give up ganking the fleet (unless they are really bad) and work on ships as they travel from incursion to incursion. -á-á- remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not-á "afk" cloaking-á-

Most incursion runners face more danger from themselves than from gankers. Falling asleep in fleet and losing ships in epically stupid ways is the number one cause of death, rather than pvp action.

It was actually extremely common until the rat AI change, at which point ganking in a site became pretty much impossible. You never saw huge lossmails because generally speaking, people would kill or jam the logi, and then bump the battleships so they couldn't warp. Do it right, and 1 or 2 would pop. Scoop loot, go home.
Now you need to catch them on a gate, where they are pretty much always going to be with logistics. It's not impossible, but it's usually not worth the effort when you can take the same number of people and gank blingy Tengus instead.
Despite the Dinsdale tinfoil wrapped reply, incursions have got several net buffs to safety since their inception, despite "the cartels" apparently working to stop it.
Remember, when Incursions were released, anyone going GCC sent everyone who was repping them GCC as well, with no prompt. Now you have magic safeties and double prompts for everything to make it so you never need to have to build trust, or make any intelligent decisions of your own. Those were good times.

I know this game is full of people who in real life are stuck in schoolr or a boring job and want to create the equivalent ingame of a post apocalyptic ghetto where everyone is desperate starving, mugging each other and fighting to survive except for the one or two gang lords.
However I think It's actually good for the game to have at least one spot where blinged and pimps expensive ships make sense.
I also think the current tendency to hand new players stuff on a platter (the Gnosis and Astero for example allow new players with a week or two skills to fly covops and a battle cruiser, though not necessarily safely) means their long term goals end up being outrageou stuff like fly a Titan. At least incursions is a potentially achievable medium term goal for a newer player. |

i can see people here never done an incursion, the only place where jamming or killing logis could have an effect is on HQs, but there's usually 10 - 15 so GL jamming them all at the same time before concord shows up.
blast jamming with industrials is stupidly unreliable, and has been tried before, the problem is that 2 - 3 logis are more than enough to keep the fleet alive under overload, longer if the fleet stops killing triggers. consider that 6+ industrials are required to do a 100% aoe Jam, they are slow as **** and the logis never stay on warp in, so they will spread out as soon as they see you. besides, gl catching a 1kms AB scythe or equally fast MWD Basi in a 6km bubble.
not to mention any sane HQ fleet has 3 anchors for logis. + strays and battery basilisks.
and on Vgs? heh... no single wave can kill a batteship before the fleet DPS kills off all the tamas and augas-romis. by that point even passive regen is enough to keep a battleship alive. all they need to do is kill point and warp off. (vgs have no triggers anymore, so you cant pull more waves in)
can you kill a ship by ganking/jamming the logi? yeah probably, usually a ship belonging to a terrible fleet, probably using meta modules. any decent fleet will /lol at you.
people here severely overestimate sansha dps. |

Couple people have messaged me asking about my post regarding getting incursion fleets Concorded... Or mainly, their logistics fleet.
CCP patched it after it started to become a trend. This was immediately after Incursions were added to the game. It is no longer possible.
But for the sake of the curious, this article covers it pretty well. http://jestertrek.blogspot.com/2011/01/beware-incursion-from-within.html |

So anyone have stories of a good gank? Or a reason as to why nobody does it? I know smartbombing battleships would be expensive but the possible loot would be nice. YEs and sometimes often. Especially when you're moving from site to site. |

I'd say keep the high-sec incursions around because the communities are so amusing. But nerf the income to something like level 5 missions.

Some tips for people who want to annoy the incursion community.
Preloading TCRC's - TCRC's are the hardest HQ site in incursions, preloading it entails getting all DPS on grid in he hopes the alpha and agro swap kills a fleet member - To successfully preload you want to use say a destroyer, fit a MSE, AB and MWD with 2+ warp core stabilizers. Warp into TCRC, instantly align to any celestial which is 90 degrees to the left or right up/down of warpin alignment, align AB on to speed tank the rats. 2 Schmaels will lock and scramble you whilst other baddies spawn, watch the third schmael whilst it burns towards you and warp out when it gets within 60km.
Mtac stealing - TCRC's - These sites require Mtacs to complete, they spawn in a Mtac factory, simply enter TCRC after said fleet once 1 or 2 outuni's are dead, and instantly burn MWD on towards Mtac factory. The mtacs are large so drop a can then click and drag mtacs as they spawn into can. Then proceed to taunt/sell them in local. Each can you drop can hold 3 mtacs, I highly recommend blowing up your own can with 2 inside as the enemy fleet my can flip your hard earned mtacs to complete said site.
I also highly recommend having 1 pvp capable ship in your fleet as incurbears sometimes go suspect in the hopes to get the mtacs from your can, now that is a loot pi+¦ata right there. If you successfully get a suspect shiney fit BS engage in the hopes logi assist, then proceed to kill all logi and watch the fleet burn - have a hauler ready for lewtz.
I do these things a lot, and on average get about 2 or 3 ships to die in a 2 hour shift, loot drops vary but on average 1 or 2 pith a-c type invuls and expensive prop mods, its really profitable once mastered |
