While the danger of lowsec is certainly a myth (It's pretty empty) - I would hate for it to be busted. Early on in the game I remember being real proud of myself for going to lowsec. It seemed dangerous and it was more fun. You need this when you're a newb, or you run a couple of missions and then say "Really? That's Eve?" and quit.

I dont know if low-sec is empty. At least you have to be near a trude-hub in order to profit well from it, else you would be just as well off in 0.0. Other people seem to agree on this, and the system i currently moved to have alot of activity in the neighbouring system which i coincidentally have to go through if i want to get to the trade hub. However its much safer than amamake or rancer and the trade hub is not Rens or Jita quality, but that only makes it better for me, as i can help develop it and make some easy ISK as well. Oh, and Rens is not far away anyway so i can still go and dslfjdlgjlagjsklgj if i want |

Which reminds me sec loss is another bad idea for lowsec. If concord is too lazy to patrol lowsec then wtf are they doing removing security status. Keep sec loss for highsec criminal actions only.
This above all else is the major reason why people don't go to low-sec, just remove the sec loss and lets see what happens, it could be that this simple little fix is all that is needed to buff low-sec. |

If that is implemented then no-one will think twice about shooting anyone, and you wont be able to distingush hostile players from neutral ones which means low sec will be even less stable |

Sabrina Solette wrote:Most new people aim for +3 implants because although expensive for a new player they're achieveable given sometime to gain the isk and of course only need lvl 1 in cybernetics. It's this coupled with no access to jump clones early on that tends to prevent new players from exploring more dangerous areas.
You are right about people in high-sec corps warning people about low-sec but this I don't think would be enough to put of a new player from exploring if they had jump clones available at a much earlier stage of the game.
Now multiply that by +5 implants and you will unlock a whole new world of fear & paranoia. I fast-tracked to L5 cybernetics and +5 implants very early on. Precisely because of this I rarely ventured anywhere near lowsec until I managed to grind up enough standings for my first jump clone. While that helped, it hasn't solved the problem because with the 24 hour turnaround I still have to ask myself "Do I really want to waste an entire day just so I can (whatever) in losec for an hour or two?"
I can't speak for others, but for me losing a ship is not the big deal (I build ships for a living after all) - it might cost me anywhere from 10 to 50mil ISK to replace, and even that's assuming that I don't build a new one myself. But replacing all my implants would cost me half a billion ISK. In other words, on any given day my pod is probably worth ten times whatever ship it happens to be crammed inside of.
Are there rewards in losec worth risking a 10mil ship over? Plenty! Worth risking a 50mil ship over? Quite likely. Worth risking 500mil worth of implants over? HA HA HA HA NO.
A very simple solution that CCP could do to help out people like me who suffer from "Implant Phobia" is simple: First, lower standings requirements for Jump Clones from 8.0 to 4.0 (or anything more reasonable) - that will get more people into them faster. One should not have to go through all the baka of grinding out L4 missions for days to be jump clone eligible. Second they need to get rid of the stupid 24 hour wait time on clone transfer. Drop it to an hour. Drop it to an hour and people like me can say "Hmmm, I'm bored, maybe I'll go do some losec stuff for excitement and if I don't like it I can just pop right back into my normal clone and go back to doing other stuff. The most I'll lose is a few dozen bonus SP, no big deal." EvE Forum Bingo |

I play in high, low and null. I don't know what all that whining is about, anyway. And low is certainly the area where you have the most freedom, without those pesky bubbles and sov alliance monkeys who won't let me dock. |

Have you ever considered jump clones? "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame.

Well then don't ***** about it "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame.

If you are switched on and know how to pick the correct ship for whatever you want to do in low sec at the time the only dangers remain:
Lag & other internet derps
Computer fail
User input fail
1: Entering low sec through popular choke points 2: Not using the intel channel named local once in low sec 3: Scanner? What is it?
Dirty gates (good luck with that mwd + cloak trick)
Most often self important people cannot comprehend the possibility of their own failure and blame everything and everyone else. |

There is no problem. Lowsec is one of the best places for a solo player. All the typical group oriented activities are almost impossible to do in lowsec, short of shooting people. All the high paying things in lowsec are things that are best done solo. Also, groups in lowsec will be noticed, which will attract the wolves. Solo players can slip by unnoticed.
Lowsec is the ****. |

You can argue about this, but alliances collapse also because of boredom, because there's nothing more to do. Hi Goons, come to highsec ! :D
It could also be looked at as an island full of potential targets too. As long as your gang doesn't overstay its welcome or try to camp a major chokepoint most null alliances usually wont form up more than a small gang to deal with roamers.

If you're in anything larger than a cruiser, lowsec IS more dangerous than null. If not, then you'll be fine traveling through low. |

I ran around lowsec for a year with a couple billion in clone, and never lost it, this was under 30mil SP I may add. If you don't **** it up your clone is rarely in any danger.
.....do I use that clone in null **** NO, I got podded more my first month in null then I did the preceding year in low-sec, and if I'm out there lets just say I'm not hauling rocks around.

If you're willing to look at what you can learn from a loss and from the guy who killed you rather than rage about it then you'll have no issues in lowsec. You do realize that there is a bell curve of psych profiles about this.
Guy A gets ganked, concentrates on the rush of combat, and figuring out what he could have done better.
Guy B gets ganked, concentrates on the rush of negative feelings, and goes "screw that - that wasn't fun".
Then there is the whole gamut of people in between...
THAT is what is really being discussed here.
