Ran a few ungated Incursion sites in the 'vanguard state' Ilonarav system with my alt in a Nighthawk. The rats showed a bit of AI and didn't like my drones at all, which is nice, but at the end of the day they will still stay on grid and die like sheep, so why the hassle? They should warp away or something. No sane combat pilot would stay around in a frig without point and backup and aggress a command ship. But then all the rats do. Sigh.
A few message boxes and a progress bar in local don't really convey much in terms of story yet, so what remains is asteroid belts with a few guaranteed re-spawns. Some designer guys had the grand idea to spray some OMG-space-sauce aka 'nebula' into the grids. Please add an option so that we can deactivate those 'nebulas', they are an eyesore and make my graphics adapter go crazy.
Made then the mistake to warp into a gated plex where my Nighthawk didn't do any damage and got ****d within a few moments. Yawn. It's worse than jumping into a sizeable 0.0 gate camp with a destroyer, wtf.
Well, if you want to read some of my suggestions and expectations about the incursion feature, here they are
- Jump gates to incursion systems should be 'shut down' by big concord or local faction armadas, them warning or prohibiting you to jump through (faction standing/ship types)
- agents-in-space where you can get missions for your ship/SP/fleet competence level (level 1-5 agents), please no anonymous message box pop-ups from the unknown game designer entity, but adequate instructions and warnings about the more dangerous plexes
- stations are camped by sizeable Sansha fleets, docked pilots can't safely exit station like during regular wardec (big pain for corps that have lots of assets stashed in an incursion system, they'll be all over the rats to get the incursion to move away)
- stabilized wormholes/jump gate into sansha 0.0 space that can be used by characters with high sansha faction standing to join the incursion as bad guys
- delayed, non-lethal concord intervention similar to faction warfare in incursion systems to encourage pvpers to come through sansha jump gates
Hope it gets much better.
