For the OP, in case there was any confusion:
The "laws of Highsec" in question are the desires of a group of extortionists trying to force others to pay money and feed their egos, enforced through ganks and bumping mechanics. Now some branches of game theory may state that you fare better by submitting to extortion than you would by rejecting it (assuming that the extortionist and victim are operating in a vacuum), but the extortionist fares better than his victim in all cases. Plus, once you've submitted, you're no longer off the radar of a set of gankers. Plus there's the threat of gankers not associated with the extortionists, against which the extortionists provide zero protection.
Counter-strategies as provided in this thread are probably more useful as learning experiences.
For the New Order representative:
There's a reason that the extortion racket got smacked down twice in this thread. There's a difference between behavior enforced through threat and generally accepted laws. And (as an aside) there's a strong correlation between lower-abdominal tomography (CT or MRI) and early detection of cancer of the ego, before it metastasizes to the rest of the brain.

Caecus, no area of space is really safe, you can have your ship destroyed and podded in 1.0 space. All the 1.0 to 0.5 security status does is ensure the one killing you will be killed by CONCORD but you might already be podded by the time they get there. It does not mean they are not allowed to shoot someone if they want to. Also the reason the OP was killed was because he was in a corp which was at war with several other corps. Killing war targets in high sec does not cause CONCORD to intervene. |

In the case of the OP, he was attacked by someone at war with his corp.
CONCORD does not intervene in that case.
(And yes, that means that most of the advice in this thread do not apply to the OP's situation, as it was not a suicide gank.)
When your corp gets war-declared, high-sec is no longer safe and you'll have to watch local for war targets.
Mining solo, in a retriever, while not really paying attention is not a smart thing to do - you'll have to treat high-sec just as you would low-sec, except that you can (mostly) ignore the neutrals.

Anytime you see something listed by someone from the New Order regarding Laws here and there.
Point your finger and start laughing as loud as you can.
The things they call Laws of high-sec is jsut their gameplay that they try to enforce up to people.
