I propose each system , instead of having a fixed security status, should have a base security status but the actual number would change over time due to certain circumstances. Players could see an additional decimal point so they would know if a system is going in a particular direction and could even take measures to alter it. Systems that have little criminal activity would gradually go down in sec status, slowing down as they get further below their base sec level. More criminal activity would increase their sec status, and would have the strongest effect on systems much lower than their base, with very little effect if the sec status goes too much higher. So it would mostly maintain an equilibrium, but over time systems would change a little bit. Each system would only change its effective sec status at downtime.
Notable impact this would have in EVE:
1. lowsec 0.4 or 0.3 systems with a lot of ganking may sometimes become highsec temporarily.
2. highsec systems with little activity may become lowsec.
3. some highsec systems on the outskirts may become temporarily stranded, or highsec islands may have a path out open up
4. players afraid of lowsec would want to ensure they base in systems 0.7 base sec status or higher
5. bored players in 0.5 or 0.6 systems will find a change of pace from time to time.
6. lowsec won't necessarily be so dangerous - as the sec status changes all the time, other players are less likely to know or expect your system to be lowsec, thus the chance of gankers in system may be reduced.
7. macro players will have to reconfigure or face the consequences (won't that be funny to watch)
8. Dodixie will almost always be 1.0 instead of the 0.9 we're used to
9. forum rage
10. systems temporarily at lowsec status will spawn some lowsec anoalies/asteroids/rats, while lowsec systems that became highsec temporarily will have reduced lowsec anomalies/asteroids/rats but still some present. If the system stays at either low or highsec for too long, all of its anomalies, asteroids, and rats will convert. This gives advantage to players who move around and keep an eye on the ever-changing world around them. |

tl;dr - my idea is system sec status go up or go down kinda random-like, and it make New Eden more interesting and changey-like. |

I like the idea in principle, but the idea needs to be fleshed out a lot more, and players have to be able to influence the scale both up and down some way, not entirely random. I suggested something similar just for systems in High Sec that had a Sansha incursion. Basically the longer the incursion was left incompleted by players the lower the security of the system would become. Once the Incursion was defeated the system would return to it's original Sec status. |

while i like idea of dynamic sec status it should be focused on hi sec systems as we hopefully all know that low sec isn't that dangerous.

Whatever you do, hisec systems must always remain hisec and never, under no circunstance, should become lowsec or nullsec.
So... no affordable NEx store... no full-fledged Incarna... no new casual content... no new solo content... no new PvE content...-á
Why should I keep paying to play this game? |

I disagree. I think there should be a possible mechanism for a long term project like CVA in Providence to change the status of systems. Obviously it needs to be a lengthy, time consuming and expensive mechanism requiring sustained commitment by a large number of players, but it should be possible in principle.
Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
