My standard list of improvements is as follows:

1) Make Hedbergite and Hemorphite common all the way up to 0.3 sec space. Jaspet does not justify the risks, and is not going to pay a couple of PVP pilots to sit in a belt or fancy location for several hours. Also introduce Gneiss as a rare find.

2) Give low sec a fresh sprinkling of high-quality L3 and L4 kill agents, not concentrated in a handful of super-hubs containing 4 to 8, but spread out. The proportion of location agents should be higher than in high sec Empire, to aid with security.

3) Is one of the refineries in M-MD3B still 30% efficient? That always was a perfect example of CCP making stations with good potential worthless. Stop putting crap refineries into low sec.

4) Improve NPC spawns - BCs should be the norm, and give a slight increase to rate. Boost the spawns in neglected 0.0 too (eg Syndicate), to maintain the ISK/hour gap.

5) Complexes need some improvement, 4/10 Serpentis-Phi is a perfect example of something worth doing just once. Also a sprinkling of 5/10 perhaps?

6) Halve sec status penalties. Unpopular, but look at it this way - career pirates will still go outlaw, while more people trying to fight for control of a low sec system don't have to choose between that system and the whole of high sec Empire as a wartime battleground. War decs are not of great assistance when dealing with interlopers.

I may have forgotten a few things - it's late. But you get the idea, low sec loses out badly when compared with the relative safety and ISK/hour of high sec Empire, and Alliance 0.0, which except for brief intervals of collapse now offers the same advantages.

EDIT:

7) Increase number of belts in low sec systems. A system with 15-30 is an easy sell, a system with fewer than that is worthless if all you have is Jaspet.
