This is just responding to OP.
The problem with the proposal is this:
At first, lots of "carebears" would go into low sec because of the massive profitability.
Soon after, lots of pirates will go into low sec because of the large numbers of "carebears" there.
Soon after that, there will be so many pirates there that the "carebears" realize that despite the profitability of low sec, the risks just isnt worth it, and they will go back to high sec, returning us to the problem we have right now.
Alternatively, Daos and I have proposed an idea to repopulate low sec, just clicky on the link in my sig. We'd love to hear your thoughts on it, DS :)

Low-sec is a typical catch-22 situation:
- A player sees better isk can be made in low sec
- Pirates see the player and gank him
- Player decides low-sec isn't worth it and moves out
- Pirate complains low-sec is empty
In a way I compare this to today's wildlife conservations efforts: you can either harvest a crop till nothing is left or leave enough to regrow for the next harvest. Yes ladies and gentlement, pirates should think like enviromentalists and oversee that their resource isn't hunted dry. If you have 20 pirate corps and alliances all fighting over a couple of systems then carebears will stay away. But if you have a pirate corp/alliance making sure that thier system is free of "other pirates" and thus considered safer (ie, inticing carebears to take more risks) then the population will start growing. Carebears don't pop out of nowhere, you have to make them want to come there.
Yeah, thats essentially what we proposed in our low sec proposal... clicky and read it! :D

There isn't enough negative reprecussions to piracy (like permanant security loss)...
Oh, please... What if your favorite action in the game "punished" you with permanent security loss? How long would you play?
Hell, even real life is more lenient than you.
Oh please, explain to me how I can recover that -3 with diplomacy with Caldari and I will accept that -3 security standing can be esaily fixed.
The only way is volountari failure in storyline mission, so if I lose 6 points of Federation standing I can go to 0 with Caldari. A great solution.
not entirely sure, but maybe shoot lots of gurista rats?

REALLY interesting idea but with maybe a few bugs that needs ironing out... For example, whats to stop ppl that have positive standings with... for example, minmatar, to ONLY mine in minmatar space, in which the minmatar Privateers cant shoot them? Or, what if someone has positive standings to all empires? Would he then be immune to all factions' Privateers?
You've obviously put a lot of thought into this, and it is pretty well thought out.
I would love to hear your opinions on the low sec proposal that is linked in my sig.
