How much of the game world is ôLow Securityö, where this type of excitement can happen at any time, and how much of it is higher security, where itÆs less likely to happen ?
----40% high sec, 30% 0.0, 10% low sec I'm thinking.

Within ôLow Securityö regions, is newbie ganking the way of the universe, or was I just fortunate enough to have these three dim-witted stooges happen upon me and want to prove to the universe just how studly they think they really are ?
----Ganking is the way of the universe. What reason do they have not to gank you? you're trespassing on what they consider their turf, and they've probably killed thousands like you before. There are a multitude of ways to fix the situation. Bring friends and fight them, pay them to leave you alone, become friends with them, get a fast ship and don't let them catch you, ect. I way really taken aback the first tiemm I tried to enter 0.0 and was killed for no reason, but you've got to understand that there are lots of reasons to shoot you. You may be carrying something valuable, or they may just like the look of an explosion...

Is it possible to find decent paying Missions (of whatever Level) located solely within the higher security regions so that dealing with the likes of these three is totally unnecessary ?
----You can avoid player conflict altogether if you really try, but wouldn't it be more fun to run past them with a blockade runner to reach your destination, or bring some friends to get revenge? If you stay in high sec, you're going to miss most of the dynamic content that makes eve so unique. (although low sec/0.0 is more of a corp affair than a solo one)

Is there an easy means of grouping up with other decent people and running the same missions at the same time in order to not pose such an inviting target of opportunity for those simply out to screw with anyone they can?
---Yes, but many pirates would consider 5 ravens a 5x jucier target than 1. PVE ships have a hard time killing ships kitted for PvP. If you run the directional scanner, you can see the probes in low sec before they locate you.

And finally, to the three underachievers that got me last night, I can only sayà.IÆm sure you make your momma and daddy SO proud of you. Talk about a missed opportunity for the world to have benefitted by the direct application of birth control.

Humbly and respectfullyà..
