Personally, I think that the majority of High security space roids, should be mined to extintion.
Why?
Because it will encourage 2 things from new players.
1. Join a corp - It's a great way to learn the ropes, mine with a group and have some protection.
2. Take more risks - If a player wants to go solo, then He/she is going to learn at the school of hard knocks by mining in lower security areas.
How many of you learned how to ninja mine? Or how to strategically place yourself in a roid system where you could get away if pirates popped nearby? Or even how much you could take before getting podded for that last bit of ore?
I had lots of fun learning that stuff, which newbies won't if they have a bunch of easy carebear roids to mine.
Losing the high sector ores is not the end of the world, and that's my point.
Problem with joining a corp is it takes a LOT of time to get "good" with players to where you might be able to trust them. The first 2 (not one, two) corps I joined ripped me off, I lost isk and worked my butt off to advance them not me. I have since avoided corps. Unless you are lucky you'll end up with a scammer corp (so many out there) and will lose everything you could have gained on your own. I've been playing since early september and am just now starting to trust a few people who are in corps enough to even consider putting an alt in there.
CCP has made pirating 10x's more easy to do, even more so with the warp field inhibitors, this effectively keeps ANYONE who is not corped or in an alliance of a particular group out of space they don't want to be in because not only will they destroy your ship, they will give you a complimentary pod to go with it.
Personally I think people should lose sec status no matter where they are, if they pod somone. There is one thing about protecting yourself, but murder is something altogether different. It would force pirates to be more careful, as well as mega corps who get away with podding anyone who isn't in the corp who strays into ANY 0.0 space.
"I can only take so much before I'll blow up my own ship. Hey isn't that what insurance is for?"
