I don't see how you can't get an invite to fleets, my corp has a few 'incursion hunters' around who do fine, and recently an incursion dropped down smack in the middle of our little piece of the universe, making for some very nice income ( and a boost to the local economy, aka my wallet, from production ), as I was flying through the systems, I asked if there was a fleet around, and the awnser I got was an invite to a fleet. And I have some of the incursion hunters that descended on our corner asking me if my alliance is forming up a fleet and if they need more people.
I've been 'stuck' in empire waiting on a JC to time out before I could jump back to my little corner of the universe, so I decided to do some incursion hunting, just went to a tradehub, shelled out about 150M, bought all the usual T2 stuff I put on in my ship, flew out to the nearest incursion, took me about 10 minutes, then I was in a fleet, and we were ganking stuff.
Not one of those 'leet' 100B isk fleets, but just a normal one, with a bunch of BCs, some BSses, nothing special, but it worked fine. made about 200M that day 'waiting on my JC timeout'.
I suppose the fact that I'm a Guardian pilot makes me a little privileged, as they tend to be in demand a lot, but still, incursion forming up is fine, if you're not getting invites, it's probably not the people there, but you who is doing something wrong.
Failfits, emo tantrums, annoying people, those tend to have people throw you out. Knowing your stuff, being willing to listen to people, being reasonable and 'professional' about it tend to get you into fleets.
The invite I got a few days ago when just asking if there was a fleet, the FC made it perfectly clear that as I was only flying a silly HAM drake, I was the 'weakest' link in the fleet, and I would be replaced if something better came along. The fact I said he was right about that ( he was ) made him invite me and my silly drake again when they needed another member in their shield fleet. ( turned him down on that, as I was in an AF that was forming up, and I'm far more comfortable in a guardian in incursions than in some DPS ship, as DPS is not somethign I'm good at, but I'm a Damn good Logi pilot, as evidenced by the amount of agro I tend to draw from the rats when I rep people up )
