Everyone is probably familiar with the Sansha Incursions that pop up across space, how they spawn communities and drama, drop BPCs for Sansha ships and loot and otherwise act like as the high end of reliable group PvE play. Well, the fluff (lore, storylines, player RP etc.) doesn't seem to have any single reason why only Sansha's Nation engages in these mass raids of top tier NPC ships, to be opposed by mercenary capsuleers funded by concord. These make little sense, and also have no option for pirates or other enemies of the NPC Empires.
Suggested changes and features
1: Why not include other factions launching incursions, with mostly pirate incursions happening in high sec, Empire incursions that gain LP with pirate factions added in lowsec and both varieties in null sec?
2: If the spawn conditions for the constellations were tweaked slightly on a faction by faction basis, it would also increase the number of incursions spawned in space other than amarr fairly rapidly.
3: Also, use incursions as a way to temporarily modify the rules of space, so you have low-sec with functioning police occasionally if there is a "Concord Pacification Expedition" in a given lowsec area, or a highsec area without as a high influence pirate incursion.
4: Use the expanded Incursions to then seed limited runs of pirate or empire faction ships to be put through real world test, as a ship with a limited but unknown number in the game world has a limited lifespan as a usable ship type for any combat activity. Examples: empire faction Battlecruisers seeded in Assault and HQ sites from empire incursions.
Pros:
1: Increased immersion and player choice
2: More requirements for different fittings, tactics and such to balance the high isk/hour of the established incursion communities.
3: Ability to add new content in a manner which makes sense in universe, while limiting long term problems if a feature.
4: More accessibility to Incursions for enemies of the Amarr.
5: Added realism and fill gaps in the lore, ability to run "semi-hot" war as well as the factional warfare proxy war.
Cons:
1: More space open to being interupted by incursions
2: More requirements for different fittings, tactics and such act as high barrier to entry for newer players.
3: More complex code for incursion spawns, and many more hotdropped threadnaughts about Incursion spawn mechanics and MOM politics. |

Honestly, this would get me interested in doing Incursions.
As it stands now you need to have the right ship and fit or everyone thinks you are a noob and it's tough to get into a fleet. |

This isn't necessarily intended to lower the entry level of incursions. As I see it, Incursions and wormholes are the two top ends of PVE content with Incursions being the top end of group PVE, and Wormholes being the top of solo PVE.
As for getting the right ship and fit, ask in one of the newbie friendly community channels and they'll help you out. Warp To Me Incursions in particular will take almost anything that will survive a site. |

I also think that adding the potential to have bpc's for the incursion factions ships drop in sites would be nice. I can go ratting in an amarr .5 and potentially get a cruor bpc off a high sec rat, but don't even think twice about leaving behind countless untold wrecks in incursion sites. Might also add a dimension to cut down on the quick run through VG, etc sites and move on. Will add a dimension to maybe put a corpie that can't fly combat into a noctis to fly clean up etc.
