We we're calling on all incursion runners for your feedback: do you think it would be a good idea to allow capital ships into lowsec and nullsec incursion sites after the Citadel expansion?
It'll be an isk money printer once the runners finalize min-maxing their setups. HQ sites will be nearly risk free from the PVE side with a capital anchor.
For incursions, there is no middle ground when running for isks, either VG (ease of formup) or HQ (best return), Assaults even if you open the jumpgates for capitals, would still remain status quo i.e.largely ignored and statistically the worst site in terms of no. completed. Any arguments that it would open up Assault sites to more utilization are simply irrelevant without impacting the isk/hr balance between sites.
No adhoc pirates or small gangs will be inclined to drop on fleets that regularly include capitals. Only the more organized fleets would engage with capitals. Net effect = safer incursion running.
Where is this so called "well reasoned arguments" , please link it for posterity? To expect feedback from the public while hiding the actual context of the arguments is an underhanded way of ensuring things get through with minimal noise (just like RL's TPPA/TPP boondoggle) . What are the contexts?
What are you REALLY after when introducing capitals to lowsec/null incursions?
a) Increase isk faucet? (once min-maxed and no balance pass is done, yes)
b) Increase participation/conflict? (once word gets out you make more isk through this method, yes)
c) Increase capital usage? (unlikely to make noticeable dent in the numbers of capitals in use - expected use and low no. of lowsec/null incursion runners)
d) Entice nullbears to form regular incursion fleets due to all the above? (yep, that will likely happen down the road, depending on the isk returns & ease of fleet setup)
a) is the cornerstone. That is a huge negative.
b), c) and d) are the result of a). It does not/will not exist without a).
Let's do this simple.
You're back to the same old story, basically a rebalance of lowsec/null incursions ... no not a rebalance, a buff in the guise of introducing capitals.
