The image to the right is an example of what the information panel might look like. The panel will have different names pending on the style of incursion system. In addition to ''Sansha Vanguard'', there are also ''Sansha Staging'' and ''Sansha Headquarters''. | The image to the right is an example of what the information panel might look like.

During an incursion there are constellation wide penalties. The strength of the tank and weapon penalties are tied to both the level of activity and how much influence Sansha's forces have in the constellation. As players run sites Sansha's influence drops and along with it the penalties until they are effectively cancelled at zero influence. | During an incursion there are constellation wide penalties.

These NPCs will be much stronger, tougher, more deadly than your run of the mill Sansha Mission rats and mining ships; weaker combat ships will stand no chance against them. The rats that spawn in ice belts tend to be larger cruiser- or even battlecruiser-sized ships. | ||
All the mission rats and exploration site rats will remain the same, but if you linger in a completed site or a cleared out pocket, eventually regular rats will spawn every once in a while and they too will be replaced by the Sansha Incursion rats. | All the mission rats and exploration site rats will remain the same, but if you linger in a completed site or a cleared out pocket, eventually regular rats will spawn every once in a while, and they, too, will be replaced by the Sansha Incursion rats. | ||

In low and null security space the constellations under incursion will have Sansha ''"gate camps"'' for lack of a better word.

There will be groups of Sansha Incursion rats at gates in these system, catching people unaware of the danger they pose. It is easy to mistake these for normal rats and under-estimate how hard they are to kill, and most importantly, how much of a punch they pack. | ||
