Lowsex is most certainly worth the risk, I've lived out there for months, and I'm making a pretty steady profit. Low is exciting, risky and most of all fun - plus there's a startling amount of very friendly and polite people out there (even when they're on fire). For the purposes of full disclosure, I'm not even a pirate and I love it out here. FYI this whole "Mmmm your tears sustain me" crap makes you sound like a child - not a badass.

Aida Nu Nu Industries 0	Posted - 2011.10.25 11:56:00 - [32] - Quote I agree with OP. Im a 2 week old character. Yesterday I put a scrambler on my Kestrel and off I went to lowsec. I roamed for about 1 hour. Visited 20+ lowsec systems. It felt so exciting jumping into a new system and start scanning for potential targets. After a while I found a potential target that I thought I might be able to beat so I scanned him down and started warping to his location. My adrenaline was through the roof!!! Ive never had this feeling in ANY game before. Sadly the guy got away before i got a chance to lock him :( Luck was not smiling on me yesterday and I didnt manage to find anyone that I could take on. But tonight im going out out again! Also people are so afraid that the second they jump in to lowsec they are going to die. NOT TRUE. I visited so many lowsec systems in Caldari space yesterday and I got out alive. Dont be afraid of loosing a ship. Buy a cheap frigate, fit it cheaply and go out and have fun! I cant wait for my first kill! PS, if there are any new players that would like to gang up and roam around and look for trouble contact me ingame :)

Jaxemont Look At This Amazing Bullet 0	Posted - 2011.10.26 20:43:00 - [39] - Quote Toshiro GreyHawk wrote: The thing is - when people are warning new people about going down to lo sec - it is about going down there to make money - NOT about going down there to fight. I made my first Billion Isk in lowsec, so I would argue that a little. I started out grinding missions. By the time I unlocked lvl4 missions, I got so bored that I decided to do something else. I fitted up a 1m isk rifter, and went to lowsec. There I heard of 1/10 DED sites (Serpentis Drug Outlets) and decided to run those. From that, I made more money than I could running missions with the little SP I had. (And little time I had. During a few months, I could only log on for 1 hour at the end of the day, but I managed to average 20-40m isk/hr in that time spent online. I had a few lucky drops too. Shadow Serpentis Tracking Computer - 285m ISK ) During that time I was training up my skills, getting a T2 fit for my rifter, and learning about D-Scan and the lay of the land. I got into quite a few rifter duels and managed to pull off some victories. I had a blast, along with the proverbial adrenaline/shaking hands. I still only have Min Frig 4, and mediocre gunnery support skills (lvl3s mostly). Contracting the loot actually got me interested in trading, and that's what I'm doing now. I ran into a bad rut with drops a few months ago, everyone was running those sites, and the only ships I could find to fight were AFs and Dramiels. So I do other things now. Caveat: If you're new and thinking of doing this, be careful. Sometimes "leet pvpers" camp those DED sites in Ishkurs/Dramiels, so make sure to scan those sites first before warping to 0 at them. TL;DR: New players - there is a way to make ISK in lowsec as well, and it could even be better isk/hr than running missions if you have very low SP. You only need knowledge, willingness to learn, and willingness to take a few losses here and there.
Anshio Tamark Avitus Lugus 17	Posted - 2011.10.27 11:53:00 - [40] - Quote Low-sec isn't worth the increased amount of risk taken. I've recently moved to low-sec, but I have yet to see any actual increase in income from being there.

Zoe Alarhun The Proactive Reappropriation Corporation 42	Posted - 2011.10.27 12:16:00 - [41] - Quote I moved to low sec recenltly too. Less time invested for similiar or greater profits. Seems good to me.

I've recently moved to low-sec, but I have yet to see any actual increase in income from being there. Could you be a bit more specific in how you're trying to make money in lowsec? Lowsec isn't a good place to make money off rat bounties. Ratting and missioning aren't worth the risk, I'll admit that. Stick to highsec missions if that's how you like to make money. (Ratting is best done in 0.0 anyways). Lowsec PI can make some decent money, if you know what you're doing. I know somebody who can make over a billion per month in PI. (Though that could be with an alt.) Still, 500m per month for mostly passive income can't be too bad. Exploration in lowsec isn't too bad either. Though you have to go out of your way to places no one is likely to go. If you expect to get a bunch of sites near a hub, you're probably out of luck.
Zoe Alarhun The Proactive Reappropriation Corporation 42	Posted - 2011.10.28 10:30:00 - [43] - Quote Exploration in low sec is fantastic (more sites as most people are afraid of going into low). Faction warfare missions. Planetery interaction. Salvaging (T2 ships wrecks from PvP combat - intact stuff sells for alot). Ganking haulers. Ransoms Lots of good sources of income.

And it's not that skilltraining isn-¦t already extremely sluggish without them .. Jump clones are the answer here. Imho the whole implant stuff is one of EVE-¦s worst game mechanics - why have them while you better don-¦t use them for a day every single time you PvP?! Make a JC that has 20 mil worth of +4s for whatever the attirbute you are training and a few 3% hardwires (if you need/want them) and just jump back and forth. That being said a LOT of people fly some expensive implants in low-sec, because you stand are pretty high chance of getting you clone out. I've lost 33 ships in the year I've played but only 4 clones and two of them were my fault, aka I screwed up. If you are in the S-button as you go down it takes a remote sensor boosted interceptor who's watching for it to catch you, you will usually get away.

Cunane Jeran 22	Posted - 2011.11.01 02:19:00 - [50] - Quote Lowsec is as safe or as dangerous as you want it to be. That said, nice work on going out there and giving it a bash in the humble Rifter. We could do with more young pilots fighting, it's just plain fun (and good for the economy)

Xi 'xar Mise en Abyme 1	Posted - 2011.11.01 09:38:00 - [51] - Quote I applaud the OP for this post. Lowsec doesn't need fixing by CCP (some things could use some work, sure) - it needs fixing by the players, specifically by a change in their attitude towards lowsec. Every new player should know that getting into lowsec is easy, relatively safe (if you have done a bit of research) profitable (again, do some reading) and can be extremely fun (even if you lose). http://reduplication.wordpress.com/category/explore-low-sec/ http://reduplication.wordpress.com/category/live-low-sec/
Praxis Astra Smiling Friends Social Club Hearts And Minds Alliance 21	Posted - 2011.11.02 02:47:00 - [52] - Quote I could not agree with you more. I do a lot of exploring in NPC nullsec and sov nullsec as well as low sec and sometimes there's trouble but I routinely go on 20-40 jump trips and make it through seeing some nullsec hi jinx. Low and null sec are just more interesting. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org
Neriko Hakaari School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 0	Posted - 2011.11.02 18:48:00 - [53] - Quote I just bought a few new frigates to try it out as im quite fresh in eve. Jumping closer towards 0.0 as I am typing this and I must say that I'm really excited :) It doesnt matter if I get killed or not, I can always buy new ships, however I cannot buy back lost time from staring at asteroids.

Don't try so hard - you actually look like you're overcompensating now. You have nothing constructive to add to the thread, and you've been trolling since you got here. You, actually, look like the one overcompensating. Didn't like low-sec myself, WH's are much more to my taste, but I commend the OP for at least trying. Good on ya' m8! EDIT TO ADD: Onictus wrote: Bah, Bastards are the only corp you pay a ransom, most of the rest the standard response is **** you, just pod me.

Ok, I have already some frigates to waste, but first I-¦d like to learn more about the game and train my skills higher. One thing is clear to me though, I definitely don-¦t waste the rest of my EVE-life with all the carebears in high sec.

The things you learn about the game in low sec can not be learned in high sec. And you don't have to have many skillpoints either to visit low sec. Many people say to them self, "not yet, I'll just wait until I get insert random skill before I enter low sec." The quicker you go, the sooner you realize: a) This isn't so bad at all, I'm still flying my ship and b) The thrill of watching your surroundings is something you never will experience in high sec, and once you've felt the sweet taste of danger that may be lurking around the corner, you never want to go back to high sec again. :)

Because I paid money to see beautiful interiors of CQ and wait until I will be "ready"... Truth is that sneaking around lowsec is fun. Nobody's in overview but scanner detects a lot of ships. You check their info (cause you are noob, you don't remember what is dangerous yet) and they are pretty nasty. "Will I make it to a gate or will they jump on me?". Or when you find some lone ship all those thoughts running through your heads: "is he alone?... is it a trap?... do I have a chance?... will I escape if sht hits the fan?... omg, omG, oMG, OMG he's locking me!!!". It is all fun, at least to me. And without those emotions I don't think I would pay my subscription. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! applause*

Daisai Daisai Investments. 0	Posted - 2011.11.06 19:35:00 - [60] - Quote @ OP Nice story and all only it just shows that pvp in eve online is dead. Low sec pvp is mostly gatecamps and the same thing goes for null sec. Going alone pvp is just asking to be killed and your post confirms this, if you see a target which looks to good to be true. Its a baitship and you get scrambled as soon as you start attacking only to be killed by a larger group. Being killed like cannonfodder in a game where the gameplay is all about skillpoints and fittings and basicly has the most passive gameplay i have ever seen is not fun. Sure you only lost your cheap tech 1 frigate only you did loss your implants which costs way more then that frigate. You can of course take a jumpclone without implants to pvp with only that basicly causes you to loss 48 hours of optimized skill training. Which already take ages to complete. I tried it several times using a fitted ship i didnt really care about to try and search for some fun pvp in low/null sec. The only thing i came across are gatecamps.
