Those players are the environment of low sec. They're like the essence of it. Without them low sec loses it's meaning. Yes it's cowardly to kill noobs and lame but I don't think they really care. The sooner you realised it's not all about you, the sooner you get a grip on EVE. It's nothing personal in low sec. Pirates do their thing, just like miners do theirs.
Actually, snipers usually set themselves up in the few low-sec highway systems (Ginger Magician comes to mind) and at 0.5-0.4 gates. Belt pirates are more likely in your regular low-sec systems behind the chokepoints.

Alexis, Rancer comes to my mind mostly. Snipers camp highway systems because of the high traffic between empire systems. They are what makes it risky for the short route. Without them, low sec in empire highways are as good as high sec.
I wasn't disagreeing, just saying that they're rare in comparison with actual belt pirates. Otherwise, let me know where this saturation of gate snipers are, as I've only seen one, and I cruise through Domain/Everyshore low-security areas all the time.

You could consider 0.5+ complex running or NPC pirate hunting instead of mission running.
Quote:
When you have a hardened cruiser, or a BC, warping away from a snipe camp is generally easier because of the hp cushion. However, it can be deadly to warp to a station or to try to approach a gate.
Because I'm personally curious...MicroWarpDrive? Use it? Or is it not worth the signature inflation?

I plan to put together a service to escort freighters in and out of high risk sectors. Those looking for some safe passage let me know. Check my standings, I'm a friendly. 
How are you going to protect them from a 175km-distance battleship? The only thing you can do before you yourself are in a battleship is use armor repairers on the freighter, and that assumes the battleship doesn't do the math and turn your ass into meat before returning to destroying the freighter.

I'm totally stoked for PVP. Can't wait.
A word to the wise: Trashtalk (like every post in this thread you've made) is considered fairly unsporting in PvP. Especially if you've just been blown up.

This thread is a flaming carwreck on the side of the road.
