Wouldn't you generate more tears by ganking the Orca's which the full-time Incursion runners use to haul their PVE ships from one site to another?
Also, I'm curious as to why you previously used blackbirds and ECM to jam logi ships, rather than a couple of Mitten's patented gank-fit Brutix's (or perhaps even a small gang of dessies) to pop them instead? Forcing a logi off the field isn't nearly as effective as blowing them up, esp. over the long term. The Incursion fleet would need to replace them before continuing farming - which is a bit more expensive and problematic than replacing BS shooters. |

Well that would require waiting for the bears to end the incursion. If only we had a way to know when the bears would be hauling their shinies ... 
Good point. FYI, I had just read Jester's blog - "The caravan of the heavens" - which is what put the idea in my head.

It takes less resources to jam a logi than gank it, and you can do it with concord on grid. You also take less sec status hit since all you are doing is aggressing them.
Another good point. I sometimes forget about the sec status hit - it doesn't mean much when you are already below -5.
BTW - regarding Concord, you can always pull them off grid prior to your attack. The Goon pilots did this very effectively during their Gallente ice interdiction, simply by undocking in a noob frig, doing something bad to attract Concord away from the ice field, and then launching their suicide attack on the mining ship. |

lol... true enough!
Perhaps you should try the same thing with a bunch of Badger II's? :) |

Another idea to throw on the fire here....
Rather than use ECM - which is chance-based - how about using range-scripted damps to break the logi ships' locks? Damps always hit, unlike ECM.
You could use a single mid-slot heavy ship to disable several logi ships.
Disclaimer: I haven't run an Incursion site since they were first introduced, so my assumption that the logi ships are standing off and repping from a distance, rather than up close among the shooters, could be entirely wrong. |

Ah, well... it was just a thought. Too bad you can't use bombs in high sec Incursion sites.... ;) |
