How long have you been playing?
4 months
Quote:
Have you ever been in low sec?
I moved to CVA lowsec after 2 months and now I live in deep lowsec. (note: CVA lowsec is "safe" lowsec. Real lowsec is different)
Quote:
Do you run missions or complexes in low sec?
Exploration and ratting.
Quote:
If so, what is the appeal for you?
After 6 years of WoW (sorry!), I love the everpresent danger of lowsec and the need for constant vigilance.
Quote:
Are rewards in low sec in line with the risk?
I wouldn't mind seeing exploration rewards beefed up a bit. Mag sites are terrible, radar sites pretty OK, combat sites are still tough for my skill level.
Quote:
Is the risk in low sec over-stated?
Yes. Get away from border systems, take the time to set up a system of safes, monitor local, familiarize yourself with who else lives there and especially who to avoid! And don't be afraid to chat in local, especially if you see someone else in system. Not everyone in deep lowsec is a pirate. You'll do just fine (not saying you won't lose ships though!).
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?
Don't really have an opinion. I like the challenge of figuring things out for myself, but I can't deny I ask questions from members of my hisec corp. Goggle the Guide to Low Sec Survival, it's very helpful.
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.  )
To be honest I like it the way it is. Remote and difficult.
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?
Perhaps make station and gate guns more powerful to discourage camping?
To be totally honest, I have a RP streak, which is part of the reason I like lowsec. If I thought I could solo in 0.0 I would probably head there.
