Ive been playing the game for 3 months and ive been focussing on Sec missions and Trading to earn money. To be completely honest, the safety is boring me. I want the adrenaline rush of danger in low sec space. But what is there for me, what will i benefit from for going low sec? I would consider PVP but i fear damaging my sec status and being hunted by concord in high sec. |

Join a Pirate corp and have fun with them, just dont go alone because that way you wont have any kind of fun. Search for a corp that fit into your play time and is willing to teach the basics, the rest will come with time. |

You can do lowsec exploration. It gives good isk and while having the feeling that danger is just around the corner.
Otherwise low sec pvp doesn't give that big sec loss. If you let them aggress you the sec loss will be minimal, as long as you dont pod them, and easy to recover by shooting a few rats. And you dont lose sec by shooting pirates (those that are red in the overview). |

I would advise going to low-sec alone. The sooner you separate the concept of "fun" from the concept of "losing ships" the better. As you've seen, you can keep your ship and not have any fun, and you can also lose your ship and have the time of your life.

Highsec - Lowsec... It doesn't really matter, you're going to get ganked either way... Do you know what a sh*t-barometer is? It measures the sh*t-pressure in the air, did you hear that? The sounds of the whispering winds of sh*t... |

And if you go bankrupt, which can happen, just keep a BS in Highsec and back to L4 missions :)....also as I am now living in Null my solo heart still beats for lowsec, had good times with exploration there and fooling with pirates :)

Make a Bestower alt, and fly cheap ships while you get started. Whatever kitty you have going in will last a LONG time if you do that.
Then you don't have to worry about Sec Status. -RubyPorto

lowsec is where you go for odd pvp mechanics and to tank your sec status.

Fewer people out there, fewer people mean more opportunities. Yes there are dangers, but opportunities aren't locked down out in low sec.
At the very least they make missions more interesting. I refuse to mission outside of low just because of how boring high sec mission running is. I get better rewards and it makes me practice my low sec survival skills.
In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse. |

Or WH.
Don't go low, it is not an ordered progression, it is not like low is next, skip low.

You should go to low to see explosions... usually yours.
Or... you will see hoards of empty systems.

Be the coolest kid in your neighborhood and start manufacturing illegal boosters in low sec. That's where the ladar sites you need are located.
Edit: .3 Systems and lower are the key. That's where you could get involved in Moon Mining as well. |

Get a stack of fitted-up frigates and/or cruisers (tech I cruisers I mean, lol), learn how to save your pod, and when you go "pop," just grab the next one. (You will go pop a lot, but you'll also make the other guy go pop sometimes, too...IME, you might find that those heart-in-your-throat "near escapes" as just as much fun and long-remembered as the great fights and kills. You don't have to ever worry about being "1337," the object is to learn and to have fun.).
Also, yes, losec exploration is teh winsauce--it's what I do on handsome Tarryn here--but you'll need a fairly expensive ship to do all the big combat sites (All-in-one T3, or HAC, or Force-Recon for just the profession-sites and the easiest plexes.).
To keep your sec-status reasonable:
Hunt pirates, or let them come to you (Character personal security status -5.00 or below, and being blinking red on your O/V).
Try not to attack first, or if you do, then hope they shoot back (the pirates certainly will!), as the ship-kill sec-status loss is smaller then, plus they don't get kill-rights against you, IIRC.
Hunt/kill in lower security-rated systems. The hits are a fair bit less in 0.1 then in 0.4.
You should let the pod go--even in 0.1 podding is a huge security hit.
You're alright for unrestricted access to hisec as long as your sec-status remains at -1.99 or higher, once it starts edging down towards that, just head back to hisec and rip out a few level 4s (try to "chain" missions between several different systems, as the "tick" is once per 15 minutes, per system--not all mission enemy NPCs give sec-boosts though.
First step, if you've not done so already -- learn to use your Directional Scanner (d-scan) in both offensive and defensive ways--most important tool you've got. In irae, veritas. |

Join RvB. You can get your feet wet with PVP, and then be more ready for the move to hostile space.
RvB will get boring eventually, you can only do so many ad hoc fleets with the same "rules" geared towards making things "fair" but it is great for getting over the fear of losing 5 or 6 ships in an hour. Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round. |

This is great advice for EVERYONE that PvPs in Eve. I wager that if everyone played like this, Eve would be kick ass and we'd have more people playing. A good predator knows how to live in balance with his prey, lest he follow them into oblivion. |

Everyone knows that's not how it works, and that it's not even how it should work. The game is, or was at least, meant to be a sandbox where people do the thing that they like to do in the part of the sandbox they like to do it in without ever being channeled through predetermined phases. However comments over the last few months by some of CCPs game design staff would indicate that that is exactly what they think the game should be like. |

To a certain extent it is how the game is designed, thanks to a lack of bubbles low sec is easier to live in than null sec and high sec is just plain easy.
Obviously that isn't to say players must start in one place, or end in null/whs. But in terms of difficult and (supposedly) rewards, that is simply the way the game is made.

There's not really a reason to go to lowsec. Profits are marginally higher than highsec, but you will die a lot more often.
Except of course if you're looking for fun. Fights tend to be more entertaining in lowsec than in nullsec. |
