    Post [Devblog] Incursions Update

    With the Escalation to Inferno release we made several changes to Incursions. We promised to monitor the result of these changes and we stand to our promise: after evaluating both your feedback and our internal metrics, we have decided to roll back a few changes. With so many tweaks made at once, it became very difficult to determine the success of each individual change. We have rolled back the following changes:

    • Lowering the reward for vanguard sites by 10%
    • The system influence

    This means the reward for vanguard sites will increase to the pre-escalation rate. We feel the iterations made to NPC grouping and triggers per spawn are enough to keep the isk at a sensible level.
    With Escalation, we decreased the influence gain per site as well as increasing the length of Incursions. The initial reason for these modifications was that the sites were being completed so quickly that the influence bar never decreased. However, these changes combined made getting the influence bar under control an almost impossible task rather than just the challenging one we had hoped for.

    This is now available for testing on Singularity and we will continue to monitor the feedback closely.

    Not sure whether this will mean that vanguards will still barely be worth it any more, but I would quite like to jew again.

    Still need more lowsec incursions though I reckon.
    fuck all fat nerds

    Low-sec will still be waste I think. With the randomized spawns its not worth the risk of being tackled at any time to fly expensive ass ships out to low-sec.

    Probably 80-100mil /h at most. The randomized spawns really fuck with any blitzing comp which means you need 3 logi's to be safe. I am unsure what fleet comp works best for these now though, I am thinking maybe legions will be the safest bet.

    There used to be quite a few public communities with channels you could hop into for decent fleets, but they're all dead now.

    Not sure I can give the exact numbers, but the use of Vanguards basically floored.
    Can't give the exact numbers because Fucking WELP!
    RNG would be better at balancing than CCP.

    I used to do incursions a fair bit but I stopped before the changes, did BTL and TDF just pack it in? or did they never stop?

    Contact 'totals dragon' re incursion fleets. He is the top vanguard FC you know.

    They combined forces and now run the same incursions due to the way influence was working, but still used their own channels. They will probably go back to the way it used to be now each running a different incursion.
