Having tried these on SISI, I can't imagine anyone thinking these are a lucrative ISK faucet, took nearly 15 minutes to run a scout site for a 3.5mil pay-out with a full-on shiny 5 ship fleet.

The actual buff comes from the decrease from when an incursion is finished and a new one spawns. That's welcome news in a situation where one ticked off group can kill all the high sec incursions for a weekend. |

That's being changed, from a 24-48hr respawn time to around 12h. So wont be a weekend of no incursions. |

A much un-needed buff, IMO. If you don't want someone to kill the mothership kill them, instead. No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff |

Given the antagonism I witness between some of the Incursion communities, it will simply mean more Mom's popped. The only overall uptime we will gain is the time it takes to get the bar 100%. Then the asshats will immediately move in. |

With that being said, I do enjoy highsec incursion runners crying that their incursion farm got killed, and they have to move again. "it's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves." The Trial - Franz Kafka-á |

Hello iob ccuf azu, i think nullsec pve is much safer than highsec these days. All blue in local? short list? In highsec incursion areas are no short list locals and there are many not blue valling entitys there. Gankers sniffing for officerspawns. Incursion groups A can't say live-and-let-live so they log in their alts and gank group B, much drama lama and Group B does the same and so on. No intelchannel say: one neutral incoming 6 jumps out!!
Nullsec is at the moment much safer then highsec for pve. Look at KBs in the last time, empty freighters just for fun, barges so many you can't count them. And! Officerspawn incursion systems, in no other area of the game you can find so much! And you say risk vs reward? I think we have to nerf nullsec in the state it is ( in the north). |

Lesser sites require more concentration and work from each fleet member (less people in fleet to compensate mistakes). Bigger headquarters and mom sites are the most interesting part of incursions - and they are not affected in this patch.
As for shorter respawn timer - I feel like it will allow more drama due to inconvenience of migrations. ISK/h ratio will be roughly the same, if not worse (due to drama). |

It's all much ado over nothing. The site changes are not respawn in 12 hours. They are respawn in 12-36 hours. A mere 12 hours shorter than in almost every case won't actually change anything anyway. It might slightly increase the number of different people that run sites. Income from HQ's is always over-quoted anyway since they assume perfect officer fitted fleets and perfect TCRC walls with 0 influence.
Scout site changes are irrelevant to overall income streams also with how poor they are. People spent over 30 mins on a single site while running faction fit pirate ships trying to run them, due to the ECM. Marauders or Sentry drone assist fleets were the only set ups that had anything resembling reasonable run times, and they still had very poor 25 Million/Hour incomes. If that is 'too much' then.... yea, GTFO.
The biggest change to affect incursions is actually the 100MN MWD Cap change. Which means people won't be spamming cap requests 30 seconds into site anymore. Still, since Incursions overall are actually a tiny part of the EVE economy, it's not going to have a noticeable effect at all. Null Sec will still be the lions share of the isk faucet. |

I think its more the fact you can make more ISK per hour (which is all that the 23/7 runners care for) in the relative safety of hisec, than you can in a C1-C3 hole. That is very very broken.
If you're going to accuse someome of crying, at least understand why they're saying what they are, lest you make yourself look like an insufferable moron. Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

As I made considerably more ISK in less time with less stress in a WH than I do on a normal day running Incursions. If you want a beginner/introductory level WH to make more ISK than a community of 100s of players running Incursion content then you are the one looking for CCP to make you some unbalanced gameplay and not the victim here. This reminds me of the poor father with three daughters, all of them wailing away about how the other daughter got more, bigger, better yada yada yada. When in reality they are all getting the same damn thing.
I figured I am an excellent candidate to speak to the Insufferable Morons that have no clue or no desire to visit the facts about Incursions, ISK, RvR or anything else not directly linked to them getting a buff be it undeserved or not. So find a different chew-doll to grind on, your arguments are hollow and over-discussed in a thousand threads already. It's not easy, it's not risk free, it's not something any moron can do, and it's not breaking the damn game; but these diverting comments in forum threads just might.

If you can make more ISK in a single C1 or C2 hole in a day than in an incursion, then I bow down to your almighty glory because this is something that even the wormhole CSM member corbexx is trying to show to CCP.

(that's sarcasm in case you were wondering, I don't see your incursion fleet getting rolled onto and dropped on by T3's and HIC's ... ... Yet ... )
The facts and figures talk for themselves in that the most ISK per hour (other than capital escalations is in hisec incursions). And also something CCP Fozzie during the Wormhole townhall meeting said he would def need to look into. (granted that will be soon (tm) but still the case) Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week.

It's more the case that, except for the odd incursion that spawns very deep in sovereign null (nowhere near a contested border), the ISK per hour of using a blinged, PVP-incapable highsec incursion boat in a highsec incursion system far exceeds the ISK per hour of using a ship that's easily replaced in nullsec or lowsec incursions.
If, for instance, eleven Goonswarm pilots want to run incursions, it simply makes economic sense for them to jump on highsec alts and use blinged boats, rather than running sites in a lowsec incursion, unless their sole purpose is to provoke a fight. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=366607 - Gank incursion runners, win prizes!

Agreed, and that is kind of the point I am making here. The fact that they make riduculous amounts of ISK in hisec in relative safety. More ISK than pretty much anywhere else in the game.

Last time I asked about this subject, it was mentioned that they just try to headshot the incursion as quickly as possible to just get it out of their space, they don't actually use it since it's an overall detriment.

Yeah a lot of null entities think that way. Not sure what Goons do in practice. Don't they have a dedicated crew for headshotting incursions in their space?
The active incursion comes at two costs in sov null - the loss of use of the space it is in, and also the disruption of cyno chains that use that space. In highsec these overheads don't really exist - the whole area is always cynojammed, and you can trivially relocate. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=366607 - Gank incursion runners, win prizes!

From a purely selfish perspective I am looking forward to the new scout sites.
As an Aussie there are very few fleets in our TZ, so these low number sites might mean a few fleets for us to get into (without staying up all night). |

I think incursions should spawn in locations all over the map, they should be lowsec and also null, it would create more risk to warrant the high isk involved in incursions and create content while adding a bit more gameplay to low and nullsec, not to mention creating more economy to the market from tge loss of expensive ships and pods EVEALON Creative --áLogo Design | Killboard Banners | -áWeb Design | Website Graphics -á

If you want a beginner/introductory level WH to make more ISK than a community of 100s of players running Incursion content then you are the one looking for CCP to make you some unbalanced gameplay and not the victim here. This reminds me of the poor father with three daughters, all of them wailing away about how the other daughter got more, bigger, better yada yada yada. When in reality they are all getting the same damn thing.
I figured I am an excellent candidate to speak to the Insufferable Morons that have no clue or no desire to visit the facts about Incursions, ISK, RvR or anything else not directly linked to them getting a buff be it undeserved or not. So find a different chew-doll to grind on, your arguments are hollow and over-discussed in a thousand threads already. It's not easy, it's not risk free, it's not something any moron can do, and it's not breaking the damn game; but these diverting comments in forum threads just might.
If you can make more ISK in a single C1 or C2 hole in a day than in an incursion, then I bow down to your almighty glory because this is something that even the wormhole CSM member corbexx is trying to show to CCP. As for more risk in a hisec incursion through PvP, yes, you are completely right, of course, what was I thinking ... (that's sarcasm in case you were wondering, I don't see your incursion fleet getting rolled onto and dropped on by T3's and HIC's  ... ... Yet ... ) The facts and figures talk for themselves in that the most ISK per hour (other than capital escalations is in hisec incursions). And also something CCP Fozzie during the Wormhole townhall meeting said he would def need to look into. (granted that will be soon (tm) but still the case) As I stated beginner/introductory level WH Should not be making as much as organized group content that requires 100's of community members.
You seem to keep jumping to conclusions and basing your argument off incompatible fact, so to make it simple and hard to misunderstand a C-1, 2 or 3 WH won't make as much as a C-4-5-6, and a Scout, Vanguard or Assault will not make as much as an HQ. The numbers needed to accomplish any of this content is in line with the rewards, 7-9 toons in a Cap Esc is far more than enough to cover entries, run probes and handle the spawn, last time I did it we actually only had 4 people but 7 toons making well over a billion each for less than a full nights work. To compare Incursion ISK potential to WH ISK potential you would need to have a comparable strength for the given task, if we go with a 9 man team then VG's would be the common ground, where ISK potential is 100mil an hour, but for your C-1 through C-3 comparison then we are talking about the new Scout sites with 3 to 5 players making up to 25 mil an hour.
Getting 4 to 9 buddies to find and grind a WH is easy by comparison to Incursions, finding a few guy you can trust and making a decision to do X for Y, is about as hard as making your first Tax free corp. Want to try something truly difficult, find a few hundred people, set schedules, test fit survivability, arrange trainings, do trainings, compensate for losses and interview new prospects you have never met to decide if they are griefers or not in a matter of seconds, all just to keep the fleet up and making ISK for your community members.
Most of the community leaders I know spend up to 40 hours a week managing, organizing and providing for their members, most of them no longer make anywhere close to the purported 100mil an hour they make closer to 20 mil an hour as most of their time is spent providing content. I personally haven't made 1 ISK from Incursions in over 6 months.
In my opinion you are overpaid for the amount of work you put into a WH for a Cap Esc, or Sleeper chase. And CCP should certainly do something about that easy ISK your making.

That's not CCP Rise lol.
And that's just a cosmetic change really, it doesn't really help anything as no one does null sec incursions for isk, they are either left to wither and die in a constellation no one cares about or they are super blitzed (50 man fleets in VGs) to get the damn annoying things out of your space. The randomness is a factor plays a part as well, no one is gonna invade someone else space with even 15 cheapish ships to do some PVE when they can just rat (SOV null) or mission (NPC Null) at home.
CCP should take incursions out of null (they are nothing more than annoyances and navigational hazards) and buff low sec incursions to the point where people want to do them and/or fight over them.

Goldiiee wrote:Having tried these on SISI, I can't imagine anyone thinking these are a lucrative ISK faucet, took nearly 15 minutes to run a scout site for a 3.5mil pay-out with a full-on shiny 5 ship fleet.
Edit; Oh, First! (Following the crowds example) why would you run then with a shiny ship? those belong in HQs, and are already debatable on Vgs. the shiny mentality is a cancer and the sooner we get rid of it, the better.
anyway...
Scouts are open pockets, so a fleet warping to 100km and flying away can clear the site in about 6 minutes. you do need a heavy tackler and a lot of flying around, but its doable. that should leave about 20 - 25m isk/h accounting for warps, contests and downtime.
medium rail platforms work great that is, Feroxes and Eagles, the problem with eagles is their lack of drones and a utility high. feroxes can do them fine and can tinkertank with one logi (they have the spare high and 25mb for lights). Oracles can also do the scouts the same way they do anom chaining in null, but with no logi, drones or RR things can go bad really fast. (also the 140km cruiser can be a ***** if he escapes blap)
i didn't try using 200km tach with a cloaky warp-in, not sure if that works on hsec, only pulse scorch and tach @100km, 200km blaps could potentially be the most effective way to do the sites and could justify battleship hulls.
Moas/sacs/zealots/mallers and specially Ashimmus can easily fill the tackle slot with a mwd + web. and this is overlooking the huggin/rapiers due to their high SP reqs. i have tried using a shield huggin filling the role of a shield logi and tackler with medium A type RR, and it works fantastic, too bad the SP req is so steep for newbs. it has to be paired with a ship that can cap link with it, and you need egress rigs and armor is screwed off this due to PG reqs on the armor reps.
as far as whats the best time with the crappiest fleet, i found meta fitted beam Mallers (ab prop/2xtc) + ashimmu linked to an augoror to be the best hobo fleet that can run them. TTC was about 10 minutes, could be lower but i had to run the dps and the augoror while testing since i couldn't find a logi pilot in sisi at the time.
and as far as SP expensive brawler fleet goes, vagabonds tinkertanking a 4xlink scimitar can give you extremely fast sites. tinkertanking a logiHuggin getting cap/shield fed with small Atypes also works, but haven't done too much testing on it. (not sure about the speed of the huggin keeping up with the vagas.)
battleships are complete garbage, not only due to :400 signature guns: but also due to warp speed, align speed, etc, etc. also one of the sites has a bomber in it, a real one not a Tama. that thing can put a dent on any BS, and will scare the **** outta any noobfleet running them.
as far as ive tested them, a good 20 - 30 hrs in sisi, spider RR in anything but T3 is not a good idea at all. and for obvious reasons i didn't test T3. (i doubt noobs will be fielding those)
btw, all my testing was done under OGB with a gnosis and t1 links to simulate noobness. mindlinked t2 sensor infolinks can allow changes on fitting thanks to the extra lockrange. and as far as resists goes, 30kbuffer with 100 sig and 10mnAB means missiles do crap damage, and turrets are easily tanked after webs are off the field.
anyway, that's about all the testing i have done so far, hopefully not too many people will wander in the scout sites with their lvl4 boat... that could mean a lot of lapsed subs.
and about profitability, its less than high SP lvl4s, way more than low SP lvl4s. nothing to complain here, they are intended for new players and they work fine. |

You are comparing apples and oranges, and angry none of them taste like an avocado, get a grip. Ah see now you're starting to make sense. At least in regard to the Incursion side of things. So I will give you a serious reply to that.
I see what the problem you have is. You're sour than you set up these incursions and see none of the ISK. Well let me tell you something, the masses that run the incursions aren't the people who set it up are they? Oh that's right, no they aren't and the issue here is the amount of ISK people who just randomly hop into fleet to run an incursion for a day, can make. That is the issue here, not the people who set up the incursion fleets. The people who run incursion as a means of an income make more than anywhere else in the game pretty much and in relative safety at that. If the ISK per hour was crap for people, they wouldn't be the "elite of EvEs PvE" would they? You can deny this all you want, hell you can make up bullshit about how wormholes are safe or whatever you want to try to make it look like you're correct, but everyone knows that incursion ISK is pretty much the best in the game for relative safety.
As for your wormhole comment. Yes, I happen to, you know, live in them. I didn't realise that every wormhole in Eve has an unlimited number of sites that never de-spawn or happen to not be really easy to spot on the scanner should someone roll into you. You spout all this nonsense about logistics and setting stuff up. What you think wormholers just close the holes using only the power of their minds? Or you think that some of the cost doesn't go onto running your POS or whatever you use to live in a hole? Or you think that people don't randomly roll into you when you're mid sites and it turn into a massive free for all between you and them?
Please contract me the bookmarks to this magically closed off hole with an unlimited number of sites that isn't someones static.

I'll try to make an analogy that wont break your fuzzy little mind.
The people who just show up to incursions and get in fleet without doing the logistics of setting up are like your typical new recruit to a wormhole: He doesn't have a dread, blinged out prober, personal POS, carrier, 5b implants, or any of the other things the vets take for granted in the wh. |

There is no beginner/introductory level WH. Wormholes mean -1.0 sec status, no local, cloaky death. C1-C4 wormholes are only different to C5,C6 systems in that they tend to have easier logistics and soloable PVE content. |

If they really hated highsec incursions they would be running Mom-popping fleets so the incursions could not be turbo-farmed. That would garner more rage than "burning Jita".
Yet they don't do that. Makes me wonder who has incursion-running alts grinding away while the mains complain about ISK faucets.

There is no beginner/introductory level WH. Wormholes mean -1.0 sec status, no local, cloaky death. C1-C4 wormholes are only different to C5,C6 systems in that they tend to have easier logistics and soloable PVE content.
C4 maybe after the patch, and from to looks of it the extra connections ill get balanced out by the new jump mechanics. after living in one for 3 months i left in such a fit of anger that half way though the move, i decided to **** it all and SDed everything i owned.
i have lived on hellholes like the wildlands and i have nothing but fond memories of them, but C4s broke me. |

Being one of those "farming neckbeards" (great way to avoid personal attacks, there), i would say the same to all the WHers and null-bears who complain about incursion income. isn't it strange how we can both use that same arguement with equal validity of all the clauses on which it depends: Knowing little to nothing (i ran C3-C4s in drakes before the nerf, so sue me), Farming (wait, you mean that people set up multiple billions in dreads for PVP alone, where they can rarely leave?) Neckbeard (not even touching that one.), and yet according to the arguments which you will put forward here, i am wrong? now imagine this. there are a maximum of 3 highsec incursions. there is a servicable max of 4 HQ fleets. each HQ fleet holds 40 people. this means, that at an ideal time (Ha), a total of 480 people can make that much isk per hour. in those conditions, fleets are lucky to push above 100M averages. will you ever see that sort of crowding, no. we took to diplomacy to handle it. can others, who are better take our ISK, yes. Contests are a part of incursions. the better fleet takes all the isk for that site, and goes on, enabling the top end channels to occasionally hit that magical 200M mark. now, each of your dreads to do a capital escalation, could likely be exchanged one to one with an incursion battleship from that top end fleet. except that instead of needing less than 10, you need a total of 30 of them, of various compositions. not only that, but the sansha, much like sleepers, can take out careless ships. but unlike in WHs, where you can directly blap a suspicious ship as soon as you see it, incursioners must beat them to the prize, in order to secure the loot.
then here's another idea. those pilots, typically don't stay long. most people tend to fly about 200M worth, and call that good. your capital escalations are much harder for a bunch of people to rage-pop, and your built in EHP is much higher. also, in general, given the sheer number of WHs, tell me that capital escalations aren't an everyday thing. YOU may not get in on it, but someone, somewhere is. the difference between incursions and that, is that incursioners are nomadic, whereas balance forces your cap fleets to be primarily static.
now tell me, various types of players, what is the ISK per hour you usually get, versus the ones you brag about. me, for HQs, it's about 95M ISK/H that i usually get. i brag about that one time where we hit 150, running a backlog of excellent sites. |

You can do so much more if you manage to run 5 fleet of 39 to cover all spawn while your toon bunny hop from one fleet to the other just to cash in the payout.         |

It's amazing how virtually every incursion thread here is flooded by incessant whining from the nullsec and WH folks about isk/hour and risk/reward delusions. If highsec incursions are really such a cut above everything else, then drop what you are doing and come run them. Somehow, despite incursions apparently being the easiest and quickest isk/hour in Eve, fleets are often operating at below optimal numbers, if at all.
Instead, what I think is actually going on here, is that that the nullsec folks who spend 80% of their day engaging in mind-numbing afk ratting in a carrier in sov null, and the wormhole folks who spend all day farming sites in C4-C6 holes somehow feel entitled to financial prosperity, and spam the forums in an attempt to shut down and kind of enjoyable and rewarding activities in highsec, so that everyone needs to join them in the current boredom of nullsec and wormholes. How about doing what you enjoy, and not spending all of your time trying to nerf things that other people enjoy? |

right. and which community will let you do this? or actually, which ones, since no community has fielded more than two fleets for an extended period as far as i know. you also have those PI farms, which i'm not sure on the profit on, and so won't speculate as to a level of income, and they aren't entirely passive, as setting them up is a *****, as would be exporting the produce, given the logistics, and you have to keep them updated. but all of that, once you have them set up, can be done from a POS, until it's time to go collect it all, and sell it.
will the change affect high-sec in general? no. will it affect incursions? yes. it makes it quicker for incursions to respawn. it does nothing to affect the isk per hour in spawned incursions. it does not raise the cap of total incursions. in all honesty, no additional people will be able to farm or run incursions because of this. most of the time, we are careful with our timers as it is, and so there are one-two incursions up. sometimes it happens that there aren't incursions. but by and large, the communities manage it better than that. |

This is a lie, the 3 communities i've flown with recently (TVP, Warp to me and ISN) either had formal wait lists going or had you sit there waticng chat like a hawk for a line to pop up so you could get in fleet.
And lol and the dumb "if it's so good come and do it". If it's so good that everyone is better off dropping what they are doing to come do it, that should tell you something.

And another lie (or plain ignorance). Null sec people (exception, renters who don't know better) aren't spending 80% of their day doin mind numbing null sec/WH stuff. They are spending that time in High Sec incursion community chats waiting for a LINE so they can X up .
OR they are farming the hell out of missions (it's not just incursions that are a problem). Who needs Null sec pve or even NPC LP stores when you can go to a area such as this one that has no less than 10 lvl 4 agents within 5 jumps of it?
You know what i do? I roll those agents till I get a nice 'farm' set up . At one point I had 3 instances of Angel Extravaganza within 2 jumps of Lustrevik that I farmed for 6 days. Who the F needs a Sanctum when you can just do this over and over every day in total safety and for better isk?
And that's the point, High Sec space makes the rest of EVE PVE 'optional', but only if you like pain.... |

Lorewise, CONCORD is asking capsulers to help them stop the invasion so they can still keep force to maintain the usual security level in the system. The capsulers are literally making sure CONCORD don't get overworked dealing with Sansha so they can keep the regular law enforcement up and running. |

"This is a lie, the 3 communities i've flown with recently (TVP, Warp to me and ISN) either had formal wait lists going or had you sit there waticng chat like a hawk for a line to pop up so you could get in fleet."
During peak contest timezones they are waitlists, during quiet times these fleets shut down or operate below capacity. There is hardly a rush of Eve players from all other professions to incursion running.
"And lol and the dumb "if it's so good come and do it". If it's so good that everyone is better off dropping what they are doing to come do it, that should tell you something."
Yes, if 80% of people in Eve were suddenly running incursions, then I would be concerned....since it's a tiny minority it seems that the facts cut against your line of reasoning.
"And another lie (or plain ignorance). Null sec people (exception, renters who don't know better) aren't spending 80% of their day doin mind numbing null sec/WH stuff. They are spending that time in High Sec incursion community chats waiting for a LINE so they can X up ."
Oh really? So when we see 30,000 players on the server and 300 running incursions (1% of the total!), in your mind that shows everyone abandoning all other parts of Eve to come run incursions. Fascinating!
"OR they are farming the hell out of missions (it's not just incursions that are a problem). Who needs Null sec pve or even NPC LP stores when you can go to a area such as this one that has no less than 10 lvl 4 agents within 5 jumps of it?

People run missions for content, lame as it may seem....they don't see anything else exciting to do in Eve. You can definitely make more isk afk ratting in a carrier in deep goon sov than you can running missions.
"And that's the point, High Sec space makes the rest of EVE PVE 'optional', but only if you like pain..."
And yet the majority of the player base still goes to low/null. Maybe if you share your insights with them we can just shut down the CFC and N3/PL and everyone can come back to make it rich in Empire.
