nuke hisec incursions, make it exclusive to lowsec

done, more people leave hisec, even if it's just daytrips to lowsec

If somebody doesn't want to play null sec, they won't go to null sec regardless of what you do. Casual players with RL priorities (jobs, kids, wife, etc) can't commit to play the game daily. Quite often, they come back after a few days (weeks?) just to find that the whole region is now red and the only possible thing to do is jump clone out, leaving all assets behind. So they just don't go there.


You can't really tell your daughter that the movie trip has to be cancelled because there's a CTA.

The hisec miner would then do something else in hisec to make reasonable profit, if you nerf those then they won't have anything to do that suits their playstyle, so they will quit the game.

Their playstyle is to make moderate profit with the minimum possible risk. Because EVE is a competitive game they will pursue the absolute best possible method of doing so that's available, as not doing so is putting yourself at a deliberate disadvantage. By increasing the minimum risk in highsec (removing decshields and NPC corps) you put no specific individual at a disadvantage and encourage more dynamic and competitive gameplay for highsec players while simultaneously fixing some of the biggest barriers for them to branch out into other secstatus areas.

problem why highsec peeps wont move to null is their lack of information about it. mostly a highsec carebear will only hear null is scary don't go there, you'll get blobbed by 100 dudes. what they don't know is how it's far safer, more rewarding to do their carebearing in null, mining in hidden belts that will constantly respawn soon as you finish them, same goes for the ratting anoms. ccp have made changes in the past to make null profitable for all sp levels.

The pvp out there is excellent but it all depends on where you go ;)

In regards to Null. Clearly the most important change in my mind. "THE MOON HAS BEEN DEPLETED OF RESOURCES".
Once your POS posts this message, the Tech moon re spawns at a completely random point in null. Then you got to go find it. When I say random, the only place off limits is LOw and high sec. So it could spawn in unknown space. The average harvest time for any moon should be 30 day, some special ones could go 60 days, none longer.

well i can tell you from a miners point of you, theres no point in mining in null.

if you do the math, you'll see that only ark and morphite are really worth mining. high sec ores just barely fall behind the rest of the null/low sec ores. between logistics and the sometimes 10%+ station owners take from refining, its not worth it at all. you're better off ratting and just buying all the minerals.

Can you imagine how absurdly wealthy a nullsec alliance would be inviting carebears to mine in their space, protecting them, and then taxing the transactions? Set up border checkpoints and such to ensure that "ore" is not being smuggled out.
