I love new capital escalations for nullsec, they provide so much fun - just a thought - maybe CCP could introduce similar mechanic for higsec anomalies and belts.
Of course it needs modifications, as killing a capital in higsec can be problematic - but is tempting to give small chance for this kind of escalation.
What i propose is creating new battleship NPC for escalations - bit harder to kill than normal nullsec battleship, but nothing on the burner level. Ship itself should have higher bounty - around 5-10mil, and instead of doping materials, it will drop bigger number of meta modules.
People will chase them, and newbies will have a lot of fun.
Allowing small chance for getting a capital spawn in higsec will make things much more interesting, and many players will unite to kill this kind of NPC.

Simply by downgrading ship from a capital to a battleship NPC.

Sounds like another incredible isk faucet for highsec, not needed.
I'd rather have the current mission system reworked. |

Sounds like a bog standard faction spawn. Slightly harder to kill, much nicer bounty and a chance of faction/deadpsace loot. You get them outside highsec.
Putting them in highsec will flood the markets with whatever is in their loot tables. I do hope you have a way to turn this into something that isn't yet another nerf to nullsec income? |

Maybe make the highsec excalation rarer then the low sec capital escalation, and change the loot table to not have any loot higher then a certain meta level? and lastly, add a timer that the battleship will leave if it's not engage in x amount of time? |

On this note, the LP Stores could be a tad more accessable, they could be an huge sink if we ditch those tags.
Eve Minions is recruiting. Learn from about pvp, learn about ships and how to fly them correctly. Small gang and solo action in high, low and nullsec and w-space alike.
We will teach you everything you need and want to know.

Well I get Anthar's idea but Drifters will just murder everyones boat and warp of. I kinda like my ships I worked many years for to get.

Just make it an extra type of BS from the associated faction instead of a faction spawn. Pith Dominator for Guristas for example. Then it can have the regular BS loot table or none at all but with a bigger bounty and stats without breaking anything that already work like loot tables. It gives a different form of "cap escalation" to empire anoms without playing with the null loot table. |

So it's a bog standard faction spawn (capital escalations are not the only kind. You are aware of that, right?), but without a loot table?
I can get behind that. Just give highsec bears a chance to shoot, say, a dread guristas BS with nothing but tags and ammo inside. I think they're 5-10mil bounty, and it might encourage them to go hunting for phat loot in lower security. (Unlikley, but still.) |

This would be OK if done correctly. To do it correctly I'd take a #3 (or larger) nerf hammer-saw to incursions. Smash them good. Then sort through the wreckage and piece together BS escalation rats. You could solve an isk discrepancy in HS (incursions), create new pve content (short lived excitement) and reset the HS content whine cycle.

If the escalation bring a drifter with the DD weapon, people will just bail out of it or flat out no bother. The exact same happened with drifter incursion when people saw they would DD ship right off. |
