Then the pirates stopped being pirates, and most just became gankers or left altogether.
So lowsec is really just an abandoned child of CCP in its current form. Jump freighters killed low-sec? No more traversing of freighters through low-sec = very little reason to be a pirate in low-sec. Huh, so you think deleting jump freighters would help? Which is Ironic because JF's spend a fair bit of time in lowsec :v
JFs may spend some time in low sec, but they don't exactly interact with their environment. The only time you'd ever lose one in low sec is if you accidentally bumped yourself off station, just as a fleet happened to be passing through, or if you went afk on station and let someone else bump you off.

Low sec is space where you can have no nsuicidal combat without bubbles. And that changes thigns a LOT. the lack of bubbles and the presence od gate guns make travelign in small ships quite easy. That is a HUGE difference from 0.0. You also almsot never loose pods in low sec.
At end its a palce where you cn live for PVP with less risk when you are tryign to avoid the PVP (liek when moving your stuff around) |

Than you're doing it wrong.
And what is low sec? That bastard child that is neither the so called "safe zone" nor that unsafe isk farting zone.

That's a very good question to be honest. I would say it's like a pseudo null sec but NPC controlled but that would be untrue since there's NPC null sec.
The obvious answer is it's the home of FW but why not just do that in an NPC null type setting?
You could make the argument that since lvl 5's are only in low, that is a reason to go there, but again why not just have level 5's in null sec and get rid of low sec altogether?
What purpose does it really serve? A place where you can pvp, with gate guns sometimes, and are able to travel pretty safely in the proper ships since there aren't bubbles? Doesn't seem needed really.
In other words, I don't ******* know.
I plan on living forever.......so far, so good. |

After all the other responses and side tracks, this one sits squarely where I am.
I get the PvP part, certainly had my own bit of small gang fun with it in a few regions, both in and out of faction warfare, but we share the same puzzlement.......
Doesn't seem needed, really.
At least not the way it currently is.
But, as I said in the beginning, I'm not here to politic for changes; just an understanding of how to 'enjoy' it as it sits.
It certainly does seem that simple PvP is really all that it is good for, and that's ok if that's the bottom line.
Just making sure I wasn't missing something.
Thanks!

I can comfortably solo and go on massive roams in frigs/smaller ships in low sec.
I can pretty easily get decent fights, fairly quickly.
Small gang pvp is fun in low sec.
I can't remember the last time I was blobbed (half of this is down to proper target selection).
So yeah, I'd call it a more casual pvp area. I never have to be on comms or paying 100% attention, I can dock up, roam, and log as I please. I have no interest in dealing with bubbles, massive fleets, CTA, and the hot drops that come with (most) null sec pvp.

Hmm, to be honest I've always found a similar experience in null sec. Outside of sov space blobbing is relatively rare, even in sydnicate which is where I spent most of my time.
I have been blobbed by 30+ pirates in low sec just as often as null sec gangs, and the only times I've ever been hot dropped by supers (quite a few) it's been in low sec. The null sec blobbing complaints seem mostly to originate from people who regularly run blindly into large coalition CTA fleets, for the rest of us most of the time these things are easily avoided.

You heard it here folks. Give low-sec a reason to live!
I will say it again it already has a reason to live it has level 5's and all the target rich environment that provides to camp those mission runners. The profit potential of level 5 targets is much higher than level 4's. I see no problem at all here.

If you see DaBigRedBoat's command ship sitting serenely on the undock... don't attack if you know what's good for you.
