Cool, can't wait to find one and try one :)
What sort of tank do you need to do them?

Dont need a lot of tank, but you for sure need a lot of dps, there are mutliple waves and it ends in like 10 mins, It could be possible with maybe 10 alpha ships or more all focus'ing fire

Hmm, Sounds like CCP finally gave us some mini Incursions :)

EDIT: Also, is it behind an acceleration gate? if not carriers and dreads and webbing ships might be an option for beating it.

No gate, and thats exactly what I think will need to happen to beat it at this stage, So far ive gotten to the 2nd wave before it blew up.

Wave 1: A: 1x Cruiser 3x Battlepancake B: 2x Cruiser 2x Battlepancake
Wave 2: 2-4x Cruiser 2-4x Battlepancake
???

If anyone wants to fleet up and try and beat it and hopefully get a blueprint or something, or just to say i beat one of the harder anomalies in the game, feel free to message me.

Feel free to test these sites, but the versions on sisi are not complete. The NPC balance in particular is not finished, as many of you may already suspect.

Not that needing 3 carriers was any indication ;)

Needing 3 carriers is a fantastic gameplay addition. Group pve content is one of the things that eve really lacks. Provides fantastic options for escalation, traps and all the things that make eve a great game (given the fact that taking the risk of bringing 3 carriers is justified by the rewards)

Keep it this hard. We need more content that is challenging and can't be soloed.

That, and three carriers are enough to draw hotdrops like flies-- especially given that this'll be at an anomaly and won't require even cursory scanning.

These mechanics seem to benefit people in isolated lowsec, and people with overwhelming firepower on call. .

If these sites do indeed drop BPCs, and the cruiser sells for a relatively low 200mi,. each guy would get 100 mil for 5 minutes of work. But the risk is sky high. (Also there are minor fuel costs. If you stay in one near area with the capitals it might cost around 5 mil to got to a site. )

Used carriers because I cant fly a Vindi :P

Thanny with 3k dps > phoon with 1000.

This is all fine and dandy making them hard, but its basically forcing people to have friends/corp/alliance to complete sites to earn their own ship loot, which is a completely ridiculous notion, you shouldn't force needing groups on people.

I do like that its actually difficult, but The timer needs to be longer or not exist, or you need to be able to at least take it out with 2 ships max, otherwise you fall into the trap of having every one of these sites getting dominated by pirate groups who will take all the loots while you sit and cry yourself to sleep you cant solo it in a 1200 dps hamgu.

You do realise incursions force groups right?

And sov?

Like hell is a single person putting together a full T2 production chain.

Not everything should be soloable.

Frankly a site that can be done by half a dozen guys in HACs or a 3 man capital team is fair game. A blops gang (as in actual blops, not just bombers) could also clear this more safely than caps. V.good.

Do you really think that a site that has a potential to drop only a ship bpc has to be done by a group of people? There is risk/reward and i don't see much reward here. Those sites either have to drop something more than bpc and be rewarding if they require a group or require 2-3 ppl max

Hopefully ccp makes these sites a little easier on full release, they are pretty much impossible to solo with subcaps at the moment in my opinion.

So to me this just seems like a contestable content generator.

I dont spend much time in K space, as a high class wormholer, but I love the idea of difficult sites that me and my corpmates could occasionally find and run as a nice challenge.

I also love the idea of difficult sites that force people to actually stay and run, risks included. No more of this bot like " watch lcoal and run at first site of unfriendly" nonsense.

CCP also hasn't said what the loots supposed to be, so I am hoping/ assuming itll be something good to merit the difficulty/risk.

Finally, whats a "blood raider prophecy"?

i assume its just a re-skin? looks gorgeous

The single Container in that site also doesn't trigger the minigame. Just the plain old cycling of Data/Relic Analyzer.

After successful breach, attempting to open the container results inWhile there's still NPCs on grid. Pretty different to the current Ghost sites, where the NPC are just an annoyance that needs to be tanked.

While the NPC have a decent tank, their damage isn't yet implemented (volleys of 0). They also don't leave behind wrecks.
Once the site despawns, all that's left is a bug.

Let's see when there's a DEV note on the sites.

Oh, and Warpin Message hints that there are NPC waiting (like the site name also suggest)

Thank you for rescuing us, capsuleer! This is delicate research we've been doing, and these attacking forces might have ruined it completely. Plus taking our lives

These tools seem to have been prepared for use in low-level experiments of a highly cryptic nature. What exactly will be done with them is an open question, but they appear to be intended for some manner of data gathering under adverse and possibly explosive conditions..
