This is what the majority of the "nerf highsec" crew fails to address. If moving to lowsec actually was more profitable than staying in highsec, miners would find a way to be there. But the lowsec ores are such a joke, it's just silly to try. |

A thrid, though inconsistent, option is what I sometimes do for fun. There are a lot of quiet C2s with links to highsec, allowing you access to ABC ores. The logistics is much better for a small group to pull off than how I do it, solo. But like I said, I just do it for fun.
Another option, similarly inconsistent, but not as dangerous, is scanning down grav sites in lowsec. You can mine in peace as long as you keep an eye out for probes.
But still, if you're trying to make consistent isk without joining a null corp, highsec is the only option.
It's really a shame, lowsec is really empty in some areas. It doesn't have to be. |

No, it isn't. Lowsec ores are virtually worthless. You're better off mining Veldspar in highsec. |

No, it isn't. Lowsec ores are virtually worthless. You're better off mining Veldspar in highsec. Ok, let me word it for a miner level of comprehension. After all exploration sites are finished in a low sec system that is good for ganks but not so much for anything else there used to be almost nothing to do because jet canning is really dumb. So now instead of just hanging around with probes out or cruising a few systems looking for more targets I can just hang in a belt and let the drills fill an ore hold. All the high sec ore is there too and my rocks are always huge and juicy no matter what they are. Hell, I got a faction scram last night off a belt rat...can I count that on my mining isk per/hr compared to your high sec veld?
You're right. But I think you and the OP are coming at this from different perspectives. He appears to be an industrial guy, primarily, while you're obviously a PVP oriented fella who does the exploration/mining stuff to pay for other endeavors. So I still think, for him the risk may outweigh the reward. |
