Get in a nice battleship or an exensive ship - head to null sec, only to get gate camped 3 jumps in through ls. If LowSec gates and NullSec gates would work a tad differently. (kinda like wormholes do). Instead of Gate1 in systemA Jumping you to 20km off of Gate1 in systemB, what if it hurled you through space into the system (anywhere) - technically a safe spot. That is why I venture to LS through a wormhole - its technically safer. You stand a chance to survive with your ship instead of jumping in and being locked on by 15 ships waiting for the gate that just activated. 3. I prefer to live in a smaller corp. We trust eachother / we play together / and for the most part - your assets are secure. I dont need some little kid to tell me how to 'play' my game - nor give them some tax for playing in the system. 4. Setting up a small corp or small alliance in pointless as a big mother corp will just come around tomorrow and wipe you out. -Perhaps a small fix for this is to put some kind of 'inflation' cost or 'corruption' cost into the game. The bigger the corp gets (or alliance), the more 'corruption/inflation' some things seem to cost. Kinda like (Sid Meier's Civilization) did. If a corp wants to be huge and 'own' lots of space - they can but at a certain point there will be a 'tipping point' where corruption and inflation will drain a corp / Alliance wallet. What would this do ? You suddenly have a bunch of small alliances / corps everywhere and every batttle you go in / every wardec you go in is a fun fight. Since now there are more small corps or alliances you now have more little battles over 'space/planets' and everything else. --- My suggestions are off the top of my head, they may not be correct but I am just trying to come up with a mini solution the the points I have stated that keep me and my corp away. Most of us cannot play 24/7 a day so WH space makes way more sense to live in than NULL sec because you always are dealing with 'blobs' that are the same size as you.

I'm another who re-subbed my accounts following Hilmar's mea culpa. I've been absent for about 10-11 months. I have spent some time in null previously as a part of a couple of different groups and didn't really care for it due to a lot of reasons that have already been mentioned in this thread - but I have one issue which I feel hasn't been raised that bugged me about 0.0 - namely that with limited playtime I didn't feel like I could really contribute anything to a group. The only thing that would get me out to null would be some kind of provision or mechanic change that allowed for "small holders." I've gotten to that point in my life where I can only spend an hour or two a day playing and honestly it doesn't make sense for me or for a corp/alliance for me to be part of what goes on in 0.0 right now. I can't meaningfully contribute to territorial warfare as a combat pilot because I'm just not logged in enough and I agree with the consensus that logistics/manufacturing is broken - therefore I couldn't contribute in a logistical capacity either. Without the ability to contribute to and hopefully experience some the emergent/sandbox gameplay CCP continues to hype, the isk is kind of meaningless to me. On the brighter side, I can get everything I want from the game out of WH play. Re-subbed with a couple of buddies and we've just been cruising around WH space with our alts in tow - couple of cloaky haulers, scout, couple of PVE ships and a couple of PVP ships - and having a blast. We don't even put down a POS which is great because if we can't get together to play for 5 days we don't have to worry about maintaining a POS or having it blown up. If you really wanted to get me into null I'd need some way to make a meaningful contribution to the organization I am part of without spending 6 hours a day on CTAs, etc. and I'm not really sure how you could change the mechanics to do that. Plus in a WH you do not appear in local - so you are an "anonymous" player in a Ship that is seen on dscan. (Until eye contact is made) VS Oh look - a 3 month toon just came in on local. I can pop that guy with any ship i fly.... At a certain point - local kills younger players from enterin LS and Null because of their 'skill level' either SP or gameplay. A 2-3 year toon will ALWAYS win a battle against a very much younger player. I see local as being a huge problem. It always gives the big swarm a huge warning that you have entered system.
