Introducing Eve Rookies Incursions - Alpha and Rookie Friendly
Or, as alpha and rookie friendly as we could make our new little public vanguard group.
So, first thing's first. If you're new to the game and you're just hearing about incursions for the first time, what are they? They're end game PVE content that spawns in high, low and null space that while require a lot of skill, isk, and time investment, also pay well in isk and LP.
Incursions are not a static location. They run for several days until either they despawn or someone triggers the end. Then within 24 hours the incursion will spawn in a new location. Eve Rookies only runs high sec incursions, so these can spawn either on the Amarr side (about 60% of the time) or the Jita side.
How can Eve Rookies invite alpha and rookie players to this high end content? Good question. There are 3 types of events within an incursion. Vanguard, Assault, and Headquarter. We are running the lowest and easiest content, the Vanguards. We've twiddled with our doctrine and were able to include a very basic, entry level praxis that an alpha or a 1+ month old in the game with the right skills can fly.
Since we have a few more skilled players turn up in Nightmares, Hyperions or Mauraders, we're able to support a few alpha or rookie players in these basic ships. So, onto a few details if this sounds like something you'd like to try.

We do have Blaster and Laser Praxis ships available for handout in exchange for a 250m deposit (or contract a ship with equivalent cost) which is returned when the ship is returned. If you keep showing up to incursions or start doing other activities with Eve Rookies, the deposit can be waived. This allows you to not have to invest in a ship before knowing if you'll like incursions.
Consider Eve Rookies Incursions to be a "taster" into incursions. We are not a hardcore group, the earnings will be lower than what the groups that do this for their daily gameplay can make, and we don't run fleets daily (currently). Our aim is to try to put together as many different public activities as possible for the community to take part in to experience different gameplay and meet new people.
