Venal is pretty good for pvp. N3 to the east. CFC to the north. Goons stronghold to the west and lowsec to the south. I drain ducks of their moisture for sustenance. |

For varied fun fights the smart money is probably on Syndicate or Curse - lots of small-medium entities and gangs as well as the occasional larger fleet rolling through. Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

Delve isn't good from personal experience. It very small so not many systems for a small entity to occupy. And goons and Test run rampant in there along with a few other big alliances with gatecamps common at most times. If you check on kills in the last 24 hours there are a couple of systems in Delve which is commonly the second most violent system in Eve and ocassionaly it is top. It seems like the big alliances playground. |

Providence hands down; there's plenty to do all the time, everything from single reds that may or may not be hot droppers to 50 man doctrine fleets running around. If you are in a holder alliance there's always 6-12 blue fleets up, either mining or PVP, from small gang lowsec roams to 100 pilot CTA doctrine fleets for grinding structures to local defense and ratting.
NRDS means there's always neutrals around, some of these are spies some droppers some are just good bait for reds. Some people don't like all the neutrals around but I think it would be boring without them. And honestly I've seen more damage done by Awoxers than neutrals.
There's plenty of anoms and belt rats and rocks if you want to mine. When mining you do have to get out to a refinery; but we have plenty of fairly safe lowsec systems with refineries or you can fill freight containers and just hire a JF when needed, there's plenty of them in Provi and they generally have some room on the outbound leg.
Best of all you are defiantly not part of a blue doughnut alliance, and you get a complimentary "This ship survived Provistan!" bumper sticker.
Alternate logo's include "Provi-blok parking only" or "Provistan! Because freedom is another word for nothing left to loose!"
Its probably one of the worst null regions ISK wise. But honestly the kickass fun factor is way higher than even a really fast car full of long horned goats, NO2 feed inside and NOX running under the hood. Slavery is self choosen, only the unclaimed are not free.

Syndicate has the better layout, Curse has better neighbouring regions and probably more going on at the moment.
As for making money in NPC regions. Curse might have an edge because of the angel epic arc. But if you are looking at npc nul regions for money making oppertunities you are doing it wrong.

I think they put something in the water. One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia Malcanis for CSM8 |

As someone looking in from the outside, I'd recommend looking into Providence, but that may not suit you personally. |

DH brings up a good point here, Providence does have a very different "feel" to it. If you play MMO's to feel "powerful" then Provi may not be your best bet, in that case try and get into Test or Goons or PL or Razor or one of the L33T highsec merc corps like Concentrated Evil.
We do break out the whoopass every now and then; one of the great CVA FC's came back to the game after being away for a while last month, they put together a cap ship roam with cap ship hotdrop support as a welcome home fleet. It was really cool to see, but certainly the exception and not the rule.
Provi is about the small game; using the mechanics as presented to counter the mechanics as used by those who are red to us. For instance, the counter to hot droppers is... well I guess you'll just have to send a cyno ship into Provi to figure that out =-)
Sometimes we win those engagements, often we loose. But the adventure is in the fight itself, not so much in victory or defeat.
*thats just my personal POV. We certainly have our share of killboard zealots who are actively pursuing and attaining excellence in that venue, both on individual and fleet levels . Slavery is self choosen, only the unclaimed are not free.

Syndicate is my favourite and i been in most null regions both npc as sov in my time.I'd vote syndicate above most sov null tbh.
Syndicate offers small gang fights , PLENTY of 8/10 and 10/10 plexes.If you like to solo in null or like to be part of a small/medium sized alliance and dislike too many CTA's and blobs then syndicate offers just this.Next time i'm diving in null again i'm sure it'll be syndicate as i loved my stay there last year.
Providence for me is the only one i really dislike for the NRDS rules.
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

After recently moving to Syndicate I'm having a blast. Greater Groon and I-Red have a big enough presence to warrant some really big fights (cap escalations) and Bomber's Bar as well as Goonswarm roll through to do hotdrops occasionally as well.
Plus there's quite a few systems that border other aspects of space (low/high etc) that you get all walks of life from ratters to roaming gangs, hotdroppers to caps, to gatecamps and structure grinds.
Plus E-Uni fly by often enough with training their students that you get a large variety of ship types to play with if you wanna test a specific ship or ship type.
If you decide you want to do some lowsec roams, lowsec is fairly close by plus you still have access to major trade hubs for seeding your own markets or if you want to do some highsec wardec blocking.

Curse is very very busy, a lot of systems have people in them, or the routes are camped and bubbled constantly. A few large (been kicked out of sov null) alliances dwell here.

Compared to the time I was in Branch, it's weird having one system completely "owned" then the other full of reds. Here by talk start if go able? |
