BREAKING NEWS: THE EMPIRES CALL FOR AID

Original Report

Quote
Yulai – Acting on behalf of the navies for the Amarr Empire, Caldari State, Gallente Federation, and Minmatar Republic, CONCORD has put out a one-time call for capsuleers to provide backup on a “massive, sustained assault on high-priority targets”. Kilkkuken Mallen, Chief Intelligence Operative for CONCORD, said, “We are currently unable to provide details on the target, as this would represent a significant security risk in the operation. However, this threat is considered extremely high to all law-abiding citizens of New Eden. We ask that any capsuleer who wishes to protect civilized space gather up at our two rally points in Sarum Prime and Meves on November 7 for departure at 18:50.”

Mallen added, "This is a unique situation. We do not foresee having to repeat this call to action. Moreover, while we will of course be grateful for any assistance the capsuleers choose to render, we wish to make it very clear that after this assault, the empires will take care of any further military action. Capsuleers will not be required, and quite possibly not allowed, to intervene in these matters. Moreover, we ask that capsuleers refrain from interacting with, or taking, any elements that might be set adrift in space during the course of this assault."

Military cooperation between the empires on this scale has not occurred since the days of the Sansha War. Experts are unsure what the call for assistance could mean, with speculation running rampant. Some believe it is a new assault on Sansha’s Nation in order to end its incursions once and for all while others have claimed it has something to do with the unusual explosion detected several days ago.

Mallen is not ruling out anything. “We cannot risk revealing our hand by providing further information on the operation. Capsuleers will be briefed at the time of the operation at their rally points.”

Suspicious!

And, yet again, slotted exactly when any person who's employed and lives west of Europe can't go.

Would it -really- kill them to push things up to 20:00 or 21:00 EVE time? Really?

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Hopefully they get everyone into Sarum Prime and then turn it back into a .4

Let me know if they forget to reinforce the node as 3000 people attempt to pile into 2 systems.

Maybe Sansha will be finally removed from the incursion circulation to be replaced with entity X to keep the mechanic in. Would be a nice change, not only for possible the sansha rpers who've sometimes voiced their annoyance about the incursions but give another faction a spotlight in shit flinging stage.

but what about the Revenant ? doesn't that make Sansha's Nation a permanent part of the Incursion mechanic ? I can't really see the art department making a bunch more supercapitals and fighter-bombers ? Or the game mechanics department - what roles would any such supercapitals have, that would make them distinct from each other and from the regular ones ?

CCP won't get rid of it entirely. Just like they won't get rid of FW.

Hazard of ~flagship features~ being part of the storyline.

At best they'd just add new content for the different factions and add them to the rotation so it's not always Sansha.

More likely than not that they will. Much like all the ships and drones, they will probably have a new model and a different damage type or a small gimmick.
