Wel for me, nullsec just isn't what I envisaged it to be when i started playing.
I expected remote outposts with outcasts, enough empty space to get lost, ruthless pirate gangs and far away worlds with unknown spieces to discover. |

You (and others) seem to be questioning the very need to make null more attractive, and that's every bit as shortsighted as having PvPr's who don't understand the need for miners.
Rather than whining about changes, High sec players should be hoping and praying that CCP succeeds in gettin people out to null, even if they themselves don't go.
Well not necessarily.
There's alternatives to push the economy. Think about an arena like PvP environment, people would go and lose 100s if not 1000s of ships a day. It will give the economy a boost as we've never seen before, for example Hulkageddon would be nothing in comparison.
The thing is that you can't force people into things that aren't enjoyable - for them, not trying to tell the absolute truth. People wouldn't mind losing ships in arenas because they'd think it's fun. If there's not enough people in null it just means it's not fun. And the argument "eve NEEDS people to go to null" won't really help in that case.

One thing I'm thinking about, but not entirely sure about is this: Putting bounties on drones instead of minerals. Mining used to be a viable way of making money in nullsec, but the increase in available minerals has driven the price down. I'm wondering if putting bounties on drones won't give mining a bit of a revival and put some life back in 0.0.
Well the question remains: do you actually want more people in nulsec? |

Go check the CSM backlog, people want implants and better modules for combat/ewar/utility drones. Have drones drop "tags" and salvage which can be used in manufacturing/PI/invention to produce things for drone users.
But it's already so tedious and time consuming to loot drones compared to other rats .. I'd vote for bounties!  |
