Remove all 10+ quality/level 4 agents from high security empire, stick them in low security. Why? Because it matters most on the frontiers.

Massively increase manufacturing costs in high sec empire. Massively. Make it unprofitable to manufacture there. Why? Because it's highly populated space, CONCORD taxes are high!

Massively increase lab costs. Same reason. Edit : And a bit more information. Low sec becomes profitable, hence people start having an interest in being there. That means the pirates there will have to get better, and if they don't improve they'll get pwned. It'll make lowsec piracy something genuinely profitable to do, and we'll hopefully see a pirate as a difficult, but worthwhile profession.

Reduce the amount of minerals generated from high security ores. Change the +5 and +10 percent low ends to +150 and +250 percent, and locate them in low sec and lower. Why? Because it was perfectly safe to mine in empire then someone would have already done it. Eve has megacorps, they'd have stripped everything dry.

And the end result?

Low sec becomes useful, if you want to earn more ISK, take the risk!

0.0 becomes more about the money, and less about the epeen. Really making money in 0.0 is a lot of hassle, and if you wanted you could make an equal amount in high sec empire, once you get rid of all the 0.0 time sinks like avoiding hostiles, living in POSs, paying for transport in and out, running outposts, defending space etc.

Oh, and I won't have to compete with empire safebears on price, because they won't be able to afford it on their low empire wages.[/quote

This is one of the most stupid posts I have ever read. Ability to make isk in high sec space has been nerfed time after time in response to the poor, poor 0.0 and low sec inhabitants. I play about 6 hours a day and have no desire to deal on a constant basis with people who only want to have thier fun by ruining my day. I hear time and again on these forums in response to high sec people complaining on the fact that they do not get the high rewards the low sec people do for missions and rats and rare minerals, that they should just move out to unsecure space if they want those rewards. And here again you want to complain that we make too much money. Grow up. Solve your problems by changeing things that effect just you, not try and penalize a large portion of the paying playerbase just so you can have one more advantage. High secure only players are already cut off from a large portion of the game by thier choice of not wanting to deal with the PvP crowd. All penalizeing them more will is cause more to leave the game.
