Low sec, and even null sec belt rats are pushovers. Yes this is very obvious and for their rewards it's quite balanced, however...
If the rats were harder, and not just a little, like a belt would take a good five minutes to clear, (more reward obviously) low sec would be a lot more popular not only for ratting but also ganking due to the time it takes to rat alone. ATM it takes me less than 20 seconds to toast a Guristas Battleship using lasers for 800,000 isk and maybe 100k in modules (garbage money, garbage ship).
I know we're capsuleers and and all but it's still annoyingly boring to rat feeling so safe and secure. Increase their damage, active defense and overall buffer while at the same time increasing their bounty, meta drops (and even tech II maybe?) and security influence.
I am very pleased with the changes to commander npcs btw!

You somehow assume that more people will come ratting to low sec because it will be easier to gank them?
I am not following your train of thought there...

It will be worth the reward, right now why would someone go into low sec for 800k (if they're lucky enough to find a bs in low sec) when they can just run a mission with tens of battleships worth more than that...

because this will only encourage and reward blobbing even more, especially when they're just waiting for fish to bite because anything less would not be enough to kill/tank the buffed rats in time before someone interferes.

If that was true, 0.0 space would be full of people eager to exploit the local riches. Yet, 0.0 remains the least populated space in EVE...

You're right guys, **** low sec let's just not come up with any ideas and not change anything cause it will break everything.

yeah. WHy even bother. op, supported. buff all rats actually, both null and low. In terms of difficulty and reward, current ones are a bit of a joke. Espeshially after seeng sleepers...

It's funny that in the old days, 0.0 rats used to be stronger (altho player ships had weaker defenses too) and there were many more warp scrambling rats
Then CCP decided to boost NPC bounty and reduce NPC power - made it as bot friendly as possible. It's like CCP was designing the game for bots.
I still want more warp scrambling rats. EVERY elite frigate/cruiser spawn should have a point. Non-elite spawns should have 20% chance of having a 20km point

More whiners here also. 0.0 has the best rats but going there to rat is prolly suicide. I'd rather join an 0.0 alliance than die to huge blobs just because of a couple mil of iskies. Gathering your corpmates to run incursions with you is already hard enough.
I support this though. It'd be nice if low sec systems had tons of NPC ships with insta locking frigs at gates.

The problem with lowsec specifically is that being pinned in place for five minutes fighting a tough rat opens you up to anyone who enters the system as an easy PvP target. A group of three tough rats and you'll be so tired of mashing d-scan you'll go back to hi-sec.
I'd think some would be okay, but a global increase would drive me out for sure-not everyone can gank a battleship so fast, and lowsec is very appealing to low-sp people for ratting.
