I actually didn't do much Incursions lately, however from what I see it is the classic plot stopper issue with OTAs and NCNs.
You basically end up with sites that not many people want to do(or simply can't), then the sites stack till a point a fleet is willing to do them or the systems get abandoned(like it happened before with this sites). In the current state many non specialized fleets will have issues with them and even the specialized fleets will try to stick to other sides, since they are quicker to do -> pay better.
OTAs
The hacking can be done with a HAC or T3 that got a MWD, a AB Logi simply follow it till halve way, keeping itself in the RR range to the rest of the gang. The problem is that you need a specialized ship for it, that ship will cost you around 500-700 DPS compared to having another faction BS and is peaty much useless for the other sites. So hacking as is, is only the last resort for random fleets that lack the dps.
Technically you could buff the hacking, so it stops any kind of RR and reduces amount that spawns in the next wave(to make it attractive speed wise for specialised gangs). If this is powerful enough that OTAs can pay the biggest cash for a specialized fleets, the problem would be more or less addressed.
Another thing that could be done is simply reducing the RR, so even people with out a hacker and less dps can do them, even if they have to spend more time on them, it is still a lot better than sitting in a system with lots of OTAs nobody can do.
NCNs
Remove 1-2 pockets or simply increase the payout that it becomes the same ISK/h than running the other sites. Another option would be to remove all sniper targets, adding tons more Frigs and make it a complete sub BS size site, so people don't have to carry T3s for it in the other gangs and you have a good place for all the people that like flying sub BS sized ships, similar to the old NCO gangs. It is always kind of nice if the different sites have kind of different flavour in gang types instead of bringing a max gank puls BS for VGs and a Tach sniper for bigger sites all the time.
Also scout sites still haven't seen a remap since introduction of incursion without making them worth running for any kind of player. |
