The last thing you need is more unmined belts and AFK ratting in null. It is not surprising that your candidacy comes with an obvious alliance-centric agenda.
I agree with you that hisec is bloated. The bloat from hisec should be used to enrich lowsec, and lowsec only.

There's plenty of rocks in null. I've mined it when I was a blood miner in Brave. There are also plenty of people in frigates and dessies for newbies to go roaming against to destroy, loot, and salvage.
How do people make ISK with low skill points in highsec? Simple. They mine rocks, or they resort to piracy. Explo sites with low SP requirements don't earn anyone any money (certainly not in hisec), not without spending more time than you need to. Station Trading isn't really under CCP control. Trade hubs go where people go and the holy trinity is it.
I flew and died in Brave when an SRP program wasn't in place, so pardon me if I'm failing to understand.. explain the need for newbros in a 150% SRP alliance to line their wallets with cash. The point of surviving in null is working with the bittervets to earn ISK and survive in fleets. It would be hilarious for you to suggest otherwise for WH.
You are confused if you think low SP players are raking in hundreds of millions in hisec. I fail to see what exact changes you are suggesting are made to introduce this possibility in null. Do you mean move some low ISK explo and DED sites into null? Why don't you set up a short WH hop into hisec for your newbros instead? Seems like a much better solution to me, and one that already exists in the game.
When I'm talking about gutting hisec, I mean moving ISK opportunities for mid- to high-SP players out of hisec into low. These opportunities should never be moved into bluesec, unless we really are interested in destroying EVE.

A PI alt with 20 days of skilling can net you half a PLEX's worth in a month of purely passive ISK. The skillbooks will cost about 10 million. It's really a matter of poorly utilizing the space in which money making opportunities already exist.
A throng of newbies who can just shoot things don't get to eat. To eat, you need to know how to collect and cook food. And alts in this game are a thing.
In terms of the market in NPC Null being scarce, this is nothing a CSM member is going to change. Uncapped hope is a thing but we are arguing mass market mechanics here.

You can live in a nullsec pipe dream if you'd like, but I'm presenting you my viewpoint of nullsec as it stands even with the travel changes from the previous two expansions.
Quote:The golden rule of all such adjustments is, do the people who live in the space use it? So long as members of null alliances use High Sec for income, nullsec needs adjustments. So long as low-sec dwellers and NPC nullsec dwellers use High Sec for income, they also need adjustments
Not convinced by this argument. Hiseccers may need to go to WH or null for better industry and PVE drops. It doesn't mean we bring these into hisec, as a reverse argument. Not being able to leave your couch doesn't mean the fridge has to come over to where you're sitting.
Being too lazy to organize logistics out of your space to facilitate income is a poor reason for instituting change. Introducing risk and challenge and danger are good reasons for advocating change.
Vic Jefferson wrote:If I had to compare, NPC null is in more dire need of enrichment than Low; at least Low has Faction Warfare. In either case the issue is the same, and both need work. More people need to live and prosper out there, instead of day tripping.
I'll agree with this point.
I hope you don't mind the discussion. Unlike some other CSM candidates you actually read posts and reply thoughtfully to them. I wish you good luck with your candidacy.

I honestly think part of the problem is that during "balancing" or "rebalancing", the idea that you can earn ISK in total safety is not factored in or weighted properly. Being immune to PVP as a default (until a ganker takes exception) eliminates a lot of dead time, and adds a lot of logistical value into the ISK per hour equation.
