| Normally there will always be a recon mail in the '''Incursions.E-UNI''' mailing list with information about the current constellation we're in.
| |
|
| |
| The recon mails will have all the information you'll need. It will list the staging system, the various vanguard and assault sites as well as the headquarter system. Most of the time it will also have additional information about distance to our home system, closest tradehubs and general travel information and warnings.

| = Constellation layouts =
| |
| While the incursions will spawn in a random constellation, the systems of a given constellation will always have the same type of sites. There is only one requirement for a constellation to be a potential incursions constellation it must have at least 6 systems with the same security status (high, low, null), some systems are also taken out of the ''"incursion rotation"'', such as major trade hubs and starter systems.
| |
|
| |
| See [[Constellation layouts for Incursions|constellation layouts]] for more information on what systems will have vanguard, assault or headquarter sites, without having to visit the constellation first.

| = Longevity =
| |
| Incursions can theoretically last close to eight days (but realistically last much less), and go through three different stages; {{co|lightgreen|Established}}, {{co|coral|Mobilized}} and {{co|crimson|Withdrawing}}.

| |
| | Whenever an incursion spawns, this will be the first stage. Sansha Kuvakei's forces are trying to take control of the systems. While beating down the influence seems to increase the chance of a this stage lasting longer, the exact mechanics are unknown (ie, this can be as short as a day).
| |
| |- valign="top"
| |
| | nowrap align="center" style="background-color:#111111;" | '''Incursion {{co|coral|mobilized}}'''<br>(2 full days)
| |
| | The incursion has been around for a bit and Sansha Kuvakei's forces are either getting ready to finish off the incursion or they are losing too much ground and prepare to withdraw from the constellation. This phase always lasts 48 hours unless someone runs the mothership site prematurely.
| |
| |- valign="top"
| |
| | nowrap align="center" style="background-color:#111111;" | '''Incursion {{co|crimson|withdrawing}}'''<br>(1 full day)
| |
| | The incursion is ending, either due to Sansha Kuvakei's forces overrunning the constellation or because the incursion community managed to keep them at bay. If the mothership site is not completed within 24 hours, the incursion simply disappears (and no loyalty points are paid out).

| |
| ==== Number of Incursions and respawns ====
| |
| There can be up to seven incursions up at any given time, three in highsec and four in low- and nullsec. The incursions will all spawn new incursions in the same type of security space as the one they are replacing. This means that whenever a highsec incursion is despawned, either by Sansha withdrawing or when someone finishes the mothership site, a new highsec incursion will soon spawn in its place.
| |
|
| |
| The delay between an incursion ending and a new one spawning is [http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/incursion-changes-in-hyperion/ 12 - 36 hours according to CCP], but there has been respawns recorded to have been delayed for far longer than 36 hours.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Mothership sighted ====
| |
| The mothership site can occur as early as within the first {{co|lightgreen|established}} stage, the influence only needs to hit 0% and a single headquarters site must be run. Once the mothership has been sighted, the incursion can be ended by destroying the mothership at any time. As such there is no guaranteed longevity for incursions, other than the brief period before the mothership site is unlocked (which can be mere hours).
| |
|
| |
| ==== Community drama ====
| |
| Sometimes it's a tactical decision in order to spawn a new incursion for the weekend. Other times they just try to beat the crowd and do it just before it enters the {{co|crimson|withdrawing}} stage. Sadly, sometimes they finish the mothership site several days in advance for various personal reasons, often contributed to petty things like hurt egos and lost competitions.
