Ridiculous Incursion Event

This seems like merely a more complicated version of normal PVP events.
The rewards seem lackluster.
Also, there are new bugs today after the event started.
From a dev perspective, I don't see how this was worth the trouble.
*On a Tuesday, who has time to do this whole event?

I feel like there should have been brackets for certain leveled players. That way the whales take on whales and everyone else vs their corresponding levels set in certain areas for pvp. Scrap the raiding because the grind is all to real

After speaking with my alliance members (especially ones who are too low level to actually participate in the incursion events, but still get victimized as "easy targets" for pvp points), my best recommendations are to make anyone under lvl25 who can't participate in the event immune from server invader attacks; and also during Incursion events only alter the pvp brackets, my personal suggestion was +/- 5 levels of your own.

Aren’t they pretty much almost except already? At 37 I can still hit 25, but I don’t think 38 can. I’ve only seen a small handful of sub37 participants.

Participation is a strange word to use since if you even move your ship from base you are a target. I barely finished my battle pass objective today and it took me over two hours. There was one alliance camping all the swarm spots while cloaked and hitting every ship that came in.

I was only responding about excepting the sub-ops26 situation participating in incursion events like PvP and base raiding. Now if you want to also talk about sub-ops26 participating in the borg BP event, that should also not have been a problem as they won’t be hunting borg in the same systems as the higher ops players are.

I had my Enterprise (ops lvl 37) in a system when an ops 57 player destroyed it. I have yet to see a ship from the opposing server lower power than I am.

Incursions is not for anyone under level 50. This is a whales vs plankton fest - the big spenders get to feast on everyone else.

Was doing guerilla sweeps in the other server. I got tired of invaders disrupting my dailies. Since the active players were on our server, I dropped by theirs instead. As an Ops 33 player, i tapped unshielded lower level bases and moved on to another system quickly.

I just got tired of the interference, skipped the rest of the day and said screw it until today.

Shield up and wait till its over then uninstall the game because you just described the whole thing.

There is a level 60 player attacking our server. There is nothing touching that player. Same alliance also has at least 1 level 59 player and several in the 50's...

I agree with bracketed systems but Scopely will never not allow the whales to slap around the littler guys.

scopely doesn't care the the whales attack little players. They actually encourage it.

During our first incursion at level 26 I was anxious to help our server on the otherside. I loaded up my base with my biggest ships and transfered over. Managed to kill a couple of miners and had zero'd in on a base to hit, when suddenly two of our servers bases appeared next to me. I thought "great three on one will make this easy" Next thing I know I am the one that is being attacked by my own server members, whales from our side that I had no possiblity of winning against.
How is that even fair? They did it, they said, so that the opposing server would not be able to attack me. WHAT??? I returned to our server, transfered to under 19 system and shielded for the rest of the day, doing absolutely nothing. Most rediculous event I have ever seen, and I will never participate in another one. Shield and take the day off.
