Logic and reason from a pirate. The world must surely be on its last legs
Need to scale up gain as rats are smaller and system security higher.
Preferably with an added complimentary system affording chance of achieving same gain as ratting but without the need to sweep a bazillion systems. Ex.: Concord agents in space (1 per constellation or so) giving out beacon-on-OV "missions" to destroy XX pirate lair.

Pfft, 1 low-seccer = 10 null-seccers.
Bring it carebear
Besides, the whole point is not just to get low traffic but to actually make sec. gain not quite so trivial. It is a completely wasted 'feature' when one can pirate on the weekends and be back in the black from bog standard ratting deep within a sea of cyno jammed systems .. might as well remove security gain for all its worth and let people press a button when they want back into Jita.
Besides, it makes perfect RP sense: Community service in to seek redemption from past crimes
High-sec gain can stay, it is such obscenely low numbers as it is that it can only really be used to correct a point or two before driving a person insane.

Problem is that ISK is cheap (literally) whereas time is not. Were people allowed to just buy security you will be in worse shape than the current "rat in safety in NAP-land" .. besides, wouldn't really make sense RP wise unless you consider the Empires and Concord 3rd World banana republics where money talks.
Idea is for people who break the law and get negative security to be forced into doing community service (low-sec ratting) and not just their day-job (null ratting) which they are going to do anyway to fatten their wallets.
PS: It will make a lot more sense in conjunction with a low-sec revamp to truly make it the area of space the gentile fear and -10's fight perpetually over access to stuffzÖ

Originally by: Anna Lifera ... You see all the yellow skulls?...
Compare owners of yellow skulls to shop lifters and reds to murderers .. one is a fine or community service and the other is hard time or task of helping to clean up a rough neighbourhood. Have you ever tried repairing more than a few digits by ratting in high-sec? Sure it can be done but chances are you'll be dead from slit wrists at the end of it .. it is like digging a trench with a table spoon.
Originally by: Mars Theran ...I've never actually checked what the gains are per area, but I assume the tougher the rat, the higher the gain.
Bounty and system security both factor in, which is why one has to be a bot or a moron to even consider repairing anything but a security-blip in low/high as things stand.

Originally by: Anna Lifera .. well, other than confirm exactly why reds deserve what they brought on themselves....
That is just it, there are no consequences. You can go on a killing spree, tank your security and then go to the mens club (0.0) and get it back in nearly complete safety.
Looking at your kills I can understand why you oppose a change such as this. It would mean that you actually have to put yourself at risk instead of shooting unarmed ships and ratting sec in blue seas.

Originally by: Cpt Fina I would support this but i would like to see the secstatus gained from low-sec rats increased slightly.
That is part of the original suggestion I think, to bring the gain up to approximately the same level as is currently possible in null .. it shouldn't become more of a timesink than it already is, balance is in the inherent risk involved in lowsec ratting.
Perhaps if we can persuade CCP to give us a viable bounty hunting system instead of the exploitable mess we have now the sec. for killing other pirates would make sense .. difficult to do without creating obvious loophole of smartbombing highsec to go instantly to -10 and then killing that alt repeatedly.
Originally by: Anna Lifera news flash--it's called automatic ship loss..
Valid if insurance was voided when Concord intervenes, until then it can not be used as argument as insurance skews the risk/reward heavily in your favour.
Originally by: Anna Lifera news flash--they're called kill rights..
We both know that carebears have neither the skills nor the inclination to pursue those right, if that was the norm then suiciders would have some other hapless guys to kick around .. might be valid if/when KR become tradeable commodities.
Originally by: Anna Lifera ..i can understand why...
I (Veshta Yoshida) am in the militia and rarely exit low-sec. Could care less about security in high-sec to be honest. As for alt use, yes they are a way to get around consequences in just about all areas of Eve. Since they are not exclusively by pirates in that capacity used the argument also be discarded.
