What is the Infinite Incursions event?
The Infinite Incursions event features servers competing against each other for supremacy. This highly collaborative event relies on the collective efforts of an entire server to achieve victory.
How is scoring handled in the Infinite Incursions event?
Scoring is primarily based on raiding bases and engaging in player-versus-player (PvP) combat. Success in these areas is crucial for enhancing your server’s overall score.
Who can participate?
Infinite Incursions are open to players level 25 and above, and special events leading up to them will be open to players level 20 and above.
Special events also run alongside Infinite Incursions, limited to players level 25 and above.
How to join?
By spending 10 Incursion Conduits, you can invade an opposing server. When you're invading, we'll automatically try to place you in the same station slot you're on your home server. If that slot is occupied, you will be placed in the next available slot in that system or another location if all slots are filled.
Are there indicators to help me know when the next Incursions will start?
There are preparatory events such as the Incursion Prep: Building Bonds ALB. Additionally, the schedule and matchups should be announced days in advance for players to prepare accordingly.
How are servers matched?
Several factors are considered when matching servers, including server age and population. Our goal is for both servers to have close to equal strength.
Shielding behavior
During Incursions, all peace shields are suppressed in systems-level 20 and above. The shields are not lost when suppressed, but the duration timer will continue decreasing.
PvP activity while a shield is suppressed will not cause the shield to go away. Instead, it will remain suppressed.
In systems level 20 and above during Infinite Incursions, 10-minute shields do not automatically activate after a station is attacked.
Shields usually work in systems-level 19 and below. The duration timers tick down normally. Shields are automatically applied after a station is attacked, and attacking another player removes any existing shields.
You can normally move between level 20+ and 19 systems using Relocation Tokens, but the above shielding rules apply as soon as the station enters a new zone.
How long does the event last?
It lasts 24 hours; during that time, supporting events will require a back-and-forth between defending and invading.
What are the incentives for me to join this PvP event?
In addition to individual rewards like officer shards and additional event currency, each server that wins the Incursion event will receive a server-wide buff for a week for all players who participated in the Infinite Incursions.
The buff will be either a build speed or a research speed buff, with the buff strength based on the player’s ops level. This will automatically activate as soon as this has been rewarded.
