EVE PANDORA - INCURSIONS
Sansha raids into high security space are taking place, led by Sansha Kuvakei.
True Sansha combat fleets of carriers and supercarriers have been seen raiding planets, kidnapping citizens of all four empires for some unknown purpose.
There can be up to five incursions up at any given time, one in highsec, one in lowsec, and three in 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 12 - 36 hours according to CCP, but there has been respawns recorded to have been delayed for far longer than 36 hours
Incursions can last up to eight days and go through three different stages; Established, Mobilized and Withdrawing.
Incursion established (up to 5 days)
- 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).
Incursion mobilized (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.
Incursion withdrawing (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).
The mothership site can occur as early as within the first 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).
