Vic Jefferson is one of the most supportive individuals of new players I have ever encountered. He has spent countless hours with me talking about skill plans, ship fits, teaching me how to fight, and more recently how to rat. Did I mention the ships and ISK he sent in support of these efforts?
He has lived in NPC Null for a very long time, and still spends significant time in Syndicate (when not welping ratting carriers in GW space). He knows this area of space is important for the game, for transitioning characters and corporations out of LowSec and into Null. He also has knowledge of other details of the game as a long time player. As a new player who has spent most of his time in NPC Null I have no reservation in endorsing his candidacy. |

The last thing you need is more unmined belts and AFK ratting in null. It is not surprising that your candidacy comes with an obvious alliance-centric agenda.
I agree with you that hisec is bloated. The bloat from hisec should be used to enrich lowsec, and lowsec only.
The point is more about what all skill point levels can do for isk. As someone who basically "grew up" in null, I can tell you that there is really very little to do there as a newbie for cash. Mining comes with rats you can't kill at early SP levels. Anoms are out of the question until you are into a VNI at a minimum. Exploration is mixed, and the ISK/effort not really spectacular. I made my most ISK by finding DED complexes for bitter vets to run--fortunately in my corp folks like Vic cut the newbie who finds a site in for a full share of the proceeds. |

Edit: And why wouldn't your newbros doing industry and PI?
Answering for myself, because they are boring, require a stack of isk and SPs better spent elsewhere in null at the start, and require a whole lot more knowledge and experience than a real new player has. (also, my alliance doesn't have SRP)
I agree with your other point though that there has to be incentive for players to leave highsec, and I think Vic's idea is a good way to do it. |

A PI alt with 20 days of skilling can net you half a PLEX's worth in a month of purely passive ISK. The skillbooks will cost about 10 million. It's really a matter of poorly utilizing the space in which money making opportunities already exist.
I was under the impression it isn't just a matter of skills though, but of the initial investment in interaction equipment, access to POCOs, transport ships (which in NPC null, at least Syndicate, have huge targets painted on them), access to planets, etc. However I'm willing to concede the point since I've never really looked into it in great detail, nor talked to the folks in corp necessary to get involved in PI, and our discussion is becoming somewhat tangential to the campaign thread. |
