We have recently had a few new members caught out by going through systems where Incursions are in operation.
As the route planner already support some sophisticated route planning capability and given details of active Incursion are available in capsulers' Journal Would it be possible to add an option "Avoid Systems Where Incursions Are Active"?
I believe this would be a very useful feature for all players.

Serv There is suppose to be some risk in this game. I know, I know, usually you can't tell that from many of the decisions CCP makes, but there is. Incursions were suppose to provide some risk to the local residents, and induce players to compete over them. Instead, CCP actively turned them into a risk-free farmfest which now only provides risk to auto piloting ships, and truck loads of risk-free resources to everyone else. Let's not nerf that last bit of risk out of the game without taking the whole broken mechanic with it.
But more practically, CCP has recently opened up route planning via CREST which now means third-party applications can already upload routes to your route planner. Maybe such a thing already exists or you could build such a tool, or even ask the developer of one of the current tools to add such a feature.

Serv I am interested in this "caught out" aspect of your statement, since the Incursion forces are specifically limited to small areas within a system and they will not leave that area to follow a player. In essence you have to WANT to go to a place where there are Incursion NPC that could attack you so I do not see how what you claim is possible.
Drifters are a possibility but at least at this point they will not randomly attack you simply because you are warping through a system. Like Incursions there are location around EvE that if you warp into them the Drifters will attack but like Incursions these are all places you have to actually go out and find and then warp into them intentionally.
Back to your idea about auto routing around Incursions I say no. Incursion forces will not attack you simply because you are warping through a system. As Black Pedro states there is risk in everything you do in EvE and one of those risks is flying through a constellation that is under an Incursion and subject to the constellation wide affects that an Incursion brings. Consider this a game of cat and mouse the cats have figured out how to take advantage of these affects, as the mouse are you smart enough to avoid them, or to make those affects work to your favor?
The in game map, or an online site like DotLan have all the information you need. |

To be fair, since "avoid systems where pod killing has occurred" has been a navigation option since I can remember, adding incursions isn't too much of a stretch.
As much as I love third party apps, sometimes the basic functions shouldn't be something relegated to oog tools. |

Caught out in the sense that they are relative newbies and therefore unaware of Incursions - as simple as that |
