I don't see why people cry about alliances choosing to be NBSI. Yes, they have thought about it on their own, and no, your opinion isn't going to matter to them. NBSI is about keeping anyone who isn't your friend out of your space, want to come in, better open a chat window before you start mooching off someone else's hard work. If you go to any area largely without sovereignty you will find crappy ores, and crappy rats, there is a reason. If you want a good system with good rats, and relative security you have to fight for it, or pay for it, thats simply the way the world works.
Every week there is another person crying about the last ship they lost because of NBSI. I am sorry for your loss, maybe you should open a chat window before you start ratting, mining, or hauling in a system someone else controls. Even better why don't you go back to empire if you are unwilling to lose a ship here and there, that is the nature of .0, and as long as there is .0 space, there are going to be pirates, and corps who don't like you because you aren't their friend.
I have lived in .0 under an alliance and without. You can rat in .0 without you just have to learn to be more careful, and be less trusting, NRDS work only after you've lost ships and money, NBSI works now. Similarly large alliances, or groups of alliances have no reason to trust anyone outside of their alliance. When 90% of the people flying though your space are in your larger alliances, 7% hostiles, and 3% neutrals you have no reason to take the risk that those 3% aren't hostiles, or scouts. Generally if I see a neutral or hostile in system I'll wait to jump because there is a chance there will be 50 ships on the other side of that gate. So next time you want to fly as a neutral remember that everyone else in that system is flying to a POS, docking, or having to wait around till you leave to jump out of system all because you did not take the time to make friends before entering the system, and with that realize you are costing all of those people money. That my friend is why you should not complain about NBSI. NBSI is mean to you only because you did not take the time to research who lives in an area and talk to them before coming into their systems and trying to make money.
