to be honest, the issue is that low sec is just a no-mans land in terms of doing anything except looking for a fight.
i'm mostly a miner, and from my perspective mining in low sec is an idea as smart as using your manhood as a thermometer to check the boiling point of water.
the difference between low sec ore and high sec ore is roughly 360k per jetcan right now. so for 360k per jetcan you'll leave concord's warm embrace?
not to mention the logistical pain that is moving ore from low sec, to jita to sell it.
as for null sec, that's just a case of getting in to a corp/alliance so that local is full of blues, not so bad. however low sec is just a no man's land of pointlessness from a mining perspective. |

Even if it is mining in a none barge, say a cruiser, some ore is better than no ore, and low-sec is now huge helping you "hide".
truth be told. if i wasn't already in null sec, and high sec ran out of astroids to pop then i'd look in to going to null sec. if i'm going to have to suffer the logistical bullshit of getting vast quantities of crap through hostile space, i may as well go to the most profitable part of hostile space 0.0. which, is ironically safer than empire for mining and you can get better boosts along with better ores. even more so with your new system of guaranteed daily respawns in 0.0.
alternatively, i'd just log in every 4th day and strip the belts and log out again and do some thing productive with my time for the other 3 days.
from a mining perspective low sec just isn't worth the hassle, even with your new system. |

you're going to sacrifice concord protection and the logistical issues that come with out of empire space for 500k isk per jetcan in lowsec?
i doubt you would. |

Currently the risk from high sec to low sec is almost binary: little to no risk in high sec vs. guaranteed death in low sec. Note that I'm a pirate by the way. I've always been in favor of an exponential reward system. Let's leave miners alone in high sec. Leave it as it is. If they want to mine for scraps, go right ahead. Make low sec 1000x more profitable. That should fix the issue just fine. Make every hour you mine in low sec, everything else remaining the same, 1000x as good as the best high sec space. Carebears would flock to it in a second. Problem solved.
then how profitable would null sec have to become? |
