So, I'm also standing for CSM, but and I think I tend to have a lot in common with Mynxee's desire to make low-sec a vastly more enjoyable place.
 Quote:
How long have you been playing?
2 years
Quote:
Have you ever been in low sec?
Been there lots, mostly passing through, but I tried living there with a low skill alt I was training up.
Quote:
Do you run missions or complexes in low sec?
Only if I can run them in a small ship with low scan sig or if the system is really quiet and offers opportunities for GTFO & laying low.
Quote:
If so, what is the appeal for you?
More scan sigs, better rats, but still easy meat for a cruiser. For missions I find that it's the fastest way to clear through a block of level 1 missions for staning gain with the parent corp before moving to more difficult missions in a more threat free environment.
Quote:
Are rewards in low sec in line with the risk?
Generally not, although the equation works well for low level missions, harder missions require ships that are too easy to scan down.
Quote:
Is the risk in low sec over-stated?
Absolutely, my 5 year old daughter runs frigates through low-sec and hasn't encountered a problem yet. My last low-sec loss was to a disco battleship, and that would have been preventable if I'd paid attention.
Quote:
Would education from savvy players about how to mitigate risk in low sec encourage folks who didn't just want to AFK L4's to operate there?
No, more education would merely highlight the increase in reward does not match the increase in risk.
Quote:
What is the number one change to low sec that would cause you to considering doing missions and complexes there? (Be realistic! "Kick the pirates out!" is humorous but not realistic.  )
Unique content only available in low-sec, that matches or exceeds the risk-reward profile of level 4 missions. Which either means stupidly high rewards for missions run by big fat easy to scan down ships (i.e. level 5 missions), or good rewards for small agile low sig ships. Or... something else entirely
Quote:
Do you believe it is possible to make low sec changes that would allow both pirates and carebears to co-exist profitably without crippling either's play style to extinction? Why or why not?
Absolutely, although I imagine 'profit' is a somewhat hazy term when applied to PVP piracy.
