Would a compromise of not allowing bubbles on the gate, but allowing them everywhere else, work? (i.e. they "interfere with the gate systems" or something). Basically, they get to peek through the curtains before the crazy loon with the shotgun comes out?

If you need friends in null to be successful in null, and you've never been to null before and have no friends there, then doesn't that mean you get to lose ships repeatedly until you somehow magically make friends in null?

Uhh, connections and friends are just about the most important thing for success *anywhere*, from life to EVE. It is *NOT* hard to join an established nullsec alliance, and it is simply ******** to complain that the combined will of 1000 individual human beings is going to steamroll the combined will of 15.

"Communicate with allies"....you mean the other hundreds of members in the NPC corp blundering around high-sec? ... ... first mistake is being a part of an NPC corp. second mistake is trying to take a freaking BS into null. you know what my first experiences in nullsec were, as a complete newbie years ago? flying a freaking rifter and having locals chase me across entire regions. that was absurdly fun, and i had no ******* clue what i was doing. so don't assume everyone interested in nullsec is the kind of idiot who would try to roam solo in a battleship.
These are issues for me too. I'm slow to form friendships in RL, and IMO the NPC schools don't exactly encourage team-play - I think they encourage solo-play more than anything else. Do you think having a "mentor" (CCP or player) in the NPC schools to organise fleet ops, and eventually, nullsec roams, would open peoples eyes to what's out there?
There may be lots of people who have intentionally chosen highsec because they don't like what's in nullsec, but I'm betting there's a lot more who simply don't know anything different because they have the perception that nullsec is too hard. People like me need that attitude slapped out of them - preferably within the first month or two of joining the game.
Perhaps it sounds like I need my hand held. Perhaps I do. But I bet perception alone is stopping a lot of people trying. I don't see any titanium testicular implants in the Nex store, so how do I change my perception? People like you, Akirei, probably saw an opportunity and grabbed it, while I watched it from a distance and thought "Ooh, what's that?"
