Sites appear within the constellation as warpable beacons in space, visible to anyone (much like static complexes). With the exception of the ~~scout~~ sites, each beacon has an acceleration gate (or two) leading into the actual incursion site.

Unlike missions where you have loot and bounties the reward is simply tied to the completion of the site. The fleet that contributed the most to the completion of the site will receive a direct payout of ISK and an allotted amount of [[Loyalty_Points#CONCORD_loyalty_points|CONCORD Loyalty Points]]<small> <ref>CONCORD Loyalty Points will only be paid out if the incursion is successfully ended, by finishing the mothership site in the Headquarters system.</ref></small>. So if multiple fleets are present when a site is completed only the fleet that did the most raw damage will receive the payout, everyone else gets nothing.

==== Payout ====

The maximum payout, with the exception of ~~scout~~ sites, is determined by the general security of space you are in, high-sec (0.5 - 1.0 space) or low- and null-sec (anything below 0.5 space). The payout is the same for all system within their respective groups, individual system security is irrelevant. Only members of the fleet who are actually on grid when the site is finished counts, so members who stay off grid or warp out before the site is finished will not get paid nor will they count when the reward is calculated.

The payout for ~~scout~~ sites is different from the others. Only the top 5 contributors to a site gets paid, being in fleet isn't necessary and has no bearing on who gets paid. There are no scaling rewards, if more people are on grid the rest get nothing.

==== Scaling rewards ====

In addition the payout scales based on the number of pilots you have in your fleet<small> <ref>If you have more or less people than intended, the reward is reduced. Diverting too much from the intended number of pilots for a site and you end up not getting anything.</ref></small>, with the exception of the ~~scout~~ sites. It usually pays off to bring an extra person in fleets, for example an eleventh pilot in a vanguard fleet because the reduction in payout is less than the efficiency gained from adding another pilot, however it may not always pay off to bring a twelfth person on grid.

In general the [[EVE_University_Incursion_Community|EVE University Incursion Community]] avoids having more than eleven people in vanguard fleets due to the added risk, but some communities do it for the added speed and increased chance of winning competitions due to having one more fleet member on grid.

There are five different type of encounters available: '''~~Scout~~''', '''vanguard''', '''assault''', '''headquarter''' and '''mothership''' sites.

There are five different type of encounters available: '''Staging''', '''vanguard''', '''assault''', '''headquarter''' and '''mothership''' sites.

The different systems all have a maximum number of encounter sites available at any given time. When sites are completed their respective beacons will disappear and their point of reference will no longer be interactable or possible to warp to. The site itself will not fully despawn until everyone leaves the grid, including the acceleration gate.

* The [[Nation Industrial Proxy]] are not sites per se, and do not spawn at beacons. Instead, they are part of the [[Mining#Asteroids|asteroid belts]] within the staging system.
