Browsing through the thread on "getting some love for low sec" it seems painfully obvious that there are a lot of people who would like to see low security space be something other than the smart bombing camp-fest we've all come to know and love (hate? loathe? ignore?) Though the thread has some real merit as to its purpose I do not believe that the approach is correct because:
A. Requires a crap-load of game mechanics changes. B. A lot of the suggestions don't seem practical because they rely on getting people to change how they play Eve.
I would suggest that the fix for low-sec lies not in complicated redistricting or mechanics changes but in adding new POS structures that use the now usesless trade goods that keep popping up everywhere. This was buried in several of the posts there and the idea is sound. Why not create low sec only POS structures for stuff like:
1. Brothel û uses exotic dancers, spiced wine, beef, Janitors, etc to generate a revenue stream. 2. Slave Labor Camp û uses slaves, skilled slaves, beef, etc to generate a revenue stream. 3. Drug Den û uses Blue Pills, Boosters, and various other illegal drugs to generate a revenue stream.
The list could go on and should include a variety of structures that players can create that ôeatö the various trade goods found in the game in exchange for iskies. This solves a few problems, like:
Creating a reason for people to go into low-sec. Giving otherwise useless trade goods a market that does not exist now. Generates more opportunity for pirates to go after the people who run these structures and creates PvP opportunities.
No complicated SOV like restrictions, no changing game mechanics to try and generate some interest. Use the existing POS infrastructure because they could work just like POS fuel with a different output and you kill multiple problems by letting the players work it out for themselves. Give us something to fight over, please.

So you want to add multiple modules (requiring artwork) as well as usage mechanics for the sole purpose of creating a revenue stream? They already have this - sell the items to NPC dealers for a profit.
While I support Low-sec's revamp, this idea isn't that good. Whether we like it or hate it, low-sec will probably require an overhaul from the ground up. Now the only question is how to do it and what to turn it into.
Not supported.

Has some merit but needs work, I don't think it should be a isk faucet, but if it could be could to consume/convert the masses of worthless NPC trade goods into something useful. One possibility is that running one of these lures in extra rats.
