Introduction

Welcome to this class on Incursions!

Over the 60 minutes or so, we shall cover what Incursions are, and how you can participate in them successfully.

(Instructor should then introduce himself or herself - covering relevant experience level and background.)

We have a few ground rules for this class:

  • Please put your Mumble settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so.
  • Feel free to type any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. [At the end of my lecture, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.]
  • You should be [docked up safely in a station [in Aldrat if you intend to participate in the practical exercise], or located....]

Everyone ready? OK, then - let's begin....

What are Incursions?

  • Definition
    • Flavor
    • Actually: High level PvE that require teamwork (Make sure they respect the difficulty, some fear is not bad considering how dangerous these sites are)
      • Unlike L4s, can't be soloed. Because...
      • Sansha deal high levels of Omni damage and are all omni tanked. ALso all are fast with AB and MWD
      • Smart AI - Change targets, use EWAR, Change orbit distance and speed.
      • We fight them by: Use specialized roles (DD, Sniper, Logi, OGB) and coordinated fleets.
  • So Incursions are not content you can just start doing. They usually require 2-3 months of training to be in a ship that is safe. You usually need another 2-3 months to be a member that can contribute a lot.

(Lets Open our journals)

  • Incursion Cycle:
    • different stages: established, mobilizing and withdrawing
    • The penalties: No Cynos, 1/2 Bounties, DPS and Resist reduction (These last 2 vanish)
      • Shasha take over the constellation and replace belt rats, Gate camp in Low and Null
    • Killing the MOM
  • Payout
    • lots of ISK, based on the number of people
    • LP after the mom dies
    • no bounties or loot, except for the MOM
  • Different types:
    • Scout 1-5 (Can be soloed)
    • Vanguard ~10 (Need 2-3 Logi)
    • Assault ~20 (Need 4+ Logi and 5+ Snipers)
    • Headquarters ~40
    • Mothership 60-80
  • All the sites are essentially the same. 3-4 Waves/pockets where you need to kill essentially everything. Some have other objectives like dropping Lyavite or Hacking the Tower. Most spawns start ~60km or more away and MWD almost straight in.

How to participate in Incursions

  • What fleets are looking for & UNI Resources
  • Fleets need about 80% DD and 20% Logi.
    • DD is T2 Tanked BC or BS for T1
    • Some T2 cruisers work for DD (or support)
