+1 OP. Don't let a few forum warriors deter you. People who actually live in lowsec know it isn't all that unpopulated, we don't actually need to motivate people to come into lowsec. Off course that depends per location, we live in a crossroads system that sees quite some traffic. I agree with everyone that says newbies should go try stuff in lowsec, after all you have precious few things to lose and very low clone reactivation costs. Good read OP, stay frosty and keep aligned!  |

Lowsec is as boring as you make it yourself. There's more to the place then just pew pew. If you have an entire corp "living off the land" as it where, there's always someone that needs a hand to scout a gate, move some crap, fuel some tower, or wants to camp a gate with you. Plus you get to point and laugh at everyone else being paranoid and greedy, as your income sucks anyway untill some dude decides it's a good idea to transport a few mil in implants in a paper Iteron over your favourite gate.
Most people that tell you to avoid low/null/wh on account of risk vs reward, overestimate these risks. The more you go to these places, the more you get used to them and the more you realize how easy staying alive truly is. Survival chances are entirely relative, not static, and depend very much on player knowledge (how do I make a safe? What's the range on sentry guns?) and even your diplomatic skills.
The thing is that lowsec is more unpredictable then highsec, while still very accessable to new players and small corps. Whenever you are undocked or not at a POS it requires a high level of attention to survive. Once you are accustomed to the methods involved (d-scan, combat probes, safespots) even that can become boring, so set some meta-goals for yourself. Make 100 mil purely by piracy. Invent using Blueprints found in lowsec sites. Colonize a few planets. Suck up a system-¦s ISK faucets before rival corporations do. Build a POS and supply a service to your corp. Just some ideas for future ventures! Good luck  |
