Not seeing it. Why should the law allow for rampant drive-bys in the suburbs?

Sounds like you want to play with the big boys in LS (ie. the fun pew) but keep your bunk at the high-sec hostel you call home.

Put forward proposals to increase population in LS rather than merely making it into a tourist attraction/hunting reserve and we can discuss specifics, but this is just too silly. Killing anything within the sphere of 'civilization' (read: Here be Cops!) should cost one dearly.

This thread has now become the "Jack Dant for CSM" thread. Jack is really the only scoundrel scoundrel enough to represent low sec while at the same time maintaining meticulous spreadsheets and proper smugness and the class of a true gentleman down on his luck.

Thank you for your kind words, Titus. But I hereby deny any intention to run for CSM now or in the future. I will, however, lend my full support to the "Dirty Protagonist for CSM" campaign

Many GÇ£fix lowsecGÇ¥ proposals revolve around how to encourage more carebears into lowsec. I believe that's a mistake. The strong point of lowsec is the small gang, casual, PVP. And we need more PVPers to realize its potential.

Lowsec has many good points to attract the more casual PVPer: it's very accessible. The combination of no bubbles and sentry guns discouraging small ships on gates make it easy to move around lowsec. With so many stations, it's easy to take a break pretty much anywhere.

However, if you PVP for any amount of time in lowsec, you'll get cut out of highsec. For the dedicated outlaw, that's not a problem: alts and corp-level logistics make it a non-issue. But it closes most of lowsec from the more casual, single account player. The one who would enjoy lowsec the most.

So I suggest, GÇ£what happens in lowsec stays in lowsecGÇ¥:

• Lowsec ship and structure kills can't bring your sec status below -2 (the point where travel restrictions kick in).
• To compensate, make anyone with negative sec status a valid target while in lowsec, with no GCC or sentry repercussions.
• Sec losses from highsec ganks remain untouched and so trigger travel restrictions.
• Optionally, allow pod kills in lowsec to lower your sec past -2. This lets people who want to be -10 for whatever reason become so.
• Optionally, rework killrights to either remove them, or make them only usable in lowsec.

People can now become part of a GÇ£lowsec fight clubGÇ¥ where they can shoot each other freely, without losing their highsec access.

For the current lowsec residents, pirate and anti-pirate alike, this would bring more fun targets from highsec, in the form of GÇ£weekend piratesGÇ¥ and highsec alliances trying to control lowsec systems and resources. Both of those have given me many enjoyable fights, but both are unsustainable in the face of sec losses.

I'm not sure I can think of a negative side to the change.

AFAIK, this is already the case. you can shoot -5 to -10 in hi sec as well as low sec without any form of Concord retaliation (ships in hi sec, sentry guns in low sec)

as for the rest, meh.

Sounds like putting rainbows and unicorns in low sec.

Spent four hours in a frig looking for a fight last night. And not in a backwater region either...

I simply cannot imagine any game which could be marketed on the basis of "do really boring stuff for four hours and you might get 52 seconds of fun." And that's not including logistics grind. If it weren't for my love of space ships, I'd not play this horrible, horrible game.

Supported... though I think Eve needs much, much more to promote combat.
