Low-Security Space is VERY hostile towards new players.

The Problem:


#1 The content is far too severe for these type of ships to be competitive.
This leads us to two paths:
Fix the ships
Fix the Content

#2 The competition is fairly extreme as advanced players with skill points in excess of 25 to 30 million SP are competing for the exact same resources.
This leads us to two paths:
Increase the density of content
Create more low-security systems.

#3 Entering low-sec is very difficult
This leads us to two paths
Increase the Size of Low-sec gates so they are not as easily camped
Create a Jump timer where folks changing "sec" get a 30 second invulnerability timer to warp off, making camping inter-sec gates profitless.

Flame Retardant:
#1 I realize that some of the problems are related to "lack of knowledge" and that is partially responsible for bad fits.

#2 I am aware this is supposed to be a multi-player game, but when there is not enough content to go around it gets boring.

#3 I am not trying to kill pirates as a profession there are lots of gates that connect low to low, null to null that can be camped effectively. As a matter of fact if the transition gates were protected you'd have lots more people in the low-sec systems to kill.

The Problem:
Far too many "little of everything" ships piloted by EVE's most valuable sort of player "The Brave Newcomer" are destroyed in low-sec on a daily basis.

Oh please, do tell exactly why a Noob, who has contributed virtually nothing to EVE Online, is a more valuable player than me.

I'm dying to hear it.

Low-Security Space is VERY hostile towards Solo players

I can't believe someone like you, Galaxy Chicken, who spends all his time mincing around HIGH SEC ganking miners, is posting in a thread about noob problems in low sec. Worse, criticising someone else for "contributing nothing". What have you contributed with your little Catalyst fleet?

Nothing.

If only there were a area of space for new players with higher security...maybe like a "high-sec".

Greetings citizen,
Though I'm glad I could make your day, I feel I must clarify. I in no way criticized new players, I just stated a fact. They're new. How could they possibly have contributed much at all to the game if they've only recently started playing? They don't even know if they're going to stay. Also, what exactly makes them more valuable than a 2007 player like myself?

Go with the Code.

As a new player myself, I personally have not yet ventured into anthing <0.4

For a few reasons. I am both too busy playing the SkillQueue minigame, and when I do get the time to actually play (which isn't very often) I realize that building combat skills/technique and ISK in PVE missions is the best place to start.

I don't plan on entering much of losec or null until I am comfortable with losing 3-4mil ISK with each jump.

Players who fly ships with "a little bit of everything" need to be put of of their misery for the dignity of the ship they are attempting to fly.

EDIT: OP is a troll, still, my point is still valid.

They're valuable because a poor new experience will put someone off for life, and they won't come back. They'll just say, "oh Eve, yea, that sucks". Eve needs new subs to maintain its user base as older players wither and die. And you don't help with that by capping miners in high sec.

Learn to love losing your stuff because the game is a lot more fun when you take risks and chances than when you sit in hisec running missions and mining all day.

Well I could argue that the NO attracts players as well, and that they're of higher quality than AFK ice miners, but I think that's for a different discussion.
