To get people into lowsec you need to improve the transition for it. Mainly peeps like me who want to fly a carrier someday but don't feel like having it in blobbed stations. Make it so security standing 5+ gained by killing -5 and lower standing. These standings, combined with faction allows you to fly your cap ships into high, but high slot and drones are disabled while in high sec. Give pirates low sec special sites. First off, easier for peeps to get into and out of lowsec since they can just cyno in, and more miners will head out as they won't have just one huge camp to deal with on entry systems. Is like a wall. I would love to pilot a rorqual some day but not at having it have to hide in a camped station and play those games.

Need to fix blobbing. I proposed numerous times about the damage vs sig size penalization, ie unmodified damage vs sig size affect damage. Blob becomes tactical, but only if taking the target out is worth the fleet's loss to dps. See speed become a factor, better for minmatar and possibly a new sig tanking good for small gang warfare. Ie a sig reducing module, stealth plating of sort.

Lastly, some way of balancing loss. Sure, is nice and evil and all that you can lose all, but when nobody wants to risk a fair fight, nobody wants to go, except for maybe a kb gank. Point being, high sec peeps taking lowsec, and lowsec peeps killing highsec should get some sort of bounty reward bases on sp if you pod, and isk value of destroyed ship. This way, younger smaller gangs would go looking for fights because it could yield them some pretty decent money if they take out a high value target even if they themselves end up losing. Flipside, the expensive guys make money taking out hunting squads etc. Can even apply faction to it for the pirate peeps. Ie if somebody is high in one faction and takes out somebody low, that pirate faction will pay for it so pirates can profit even more hunting eachother. Off topic, but would get people out.
