Open up '''The Agency''' (shortcut is {{button|Alt}} + {{button|M}} or use the [[NeoCom|Neocom]]) and then click the fourth column ''"Specify"'' to select ''"Incursions"''. There you will see all current incursions that are active in EVE. This resets everytime you click on any of the other tabs in this window, so you'll need to do that the first time you open '''The Agency''' window as well as anytime you look at any of the other tabs. It will however persist if you don't change tabs.

You can also find the incursions by opening up your [[Star Map]] (shortcut is {{button|F10}}, then click ''"Colour by"'' second icon) and find ''"Incursions"'' under the ''"NPC Activity"'' header. The incursions will then show up on the map. Staging systems will show up in yellow and other systems in orange.

The cloak is just to reduce the chance of getting caught, it doesn't ensure that you'll make it. A proper gatecamp will catch you, especially if you're in a battleship or something with a high signature.''

Using a microwarpdrive and an improved cloaking device is an additional layer of safety you could use. See [[cloak trick]] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVi1CWcbSUE Seamus Donohue's video] on how to do this.
