I like all parts of this. Once they've gotten the bugs and exploits hammered out sometime around Incarna, I'll probably love all parts of it.
Especially nice is that these will drop down randomly on constellations, which keeps up some of the tenseness of waiting for reports of an attack and scrambling to react to it that has been going on since May. Also very good to have a 'raid' activity to add to the menu of PvE gameplay options. Nice addition also with the LP conversion function for the CONCORD LPs these will generate.
I want to see screens of the Sansha supercarrier.
Possible improvements would include making the influence mechanic similar to FW occupation. Let the Sansha actually claim empire/new nullsec space if nobody makes the effort to stop them.
