Honestly? Low-sec is nothing. I was outlawed and living in low-sec since day three in game, and that's back when you started with 60k skill points.

Mostly everything in low-sec can be countered (accept for camps with heavy dictors these days).

If you are smart enough you'll never get podded--there are no bubbles in low-sec. It is a different game. You've got watch local, and use your scanner, but its not too difficult.

Eventually, when you do get to low-sec, you'll wonder what you were so worried about.

Long time no see!

I want to amend my statement now that you've quoted me. If you're smart you'll ALMOST never get podded. Baring lag, other desynch issues, or panic. You should get your pod out every time.

The trick is to know what to do and what NOT to do, here's some do's and don'ts, if you have more questions just find me ingame.

- DON'T bring big ships into low sec, it doesn't deterr anyone, it just makes you a bigger fatter and slower target.

- DO make safespots along the way but understand that even there you're not safe
- DO understand how to use the scanner properly
- DON'T assume anything. If you don't know, then find out before you act.
- DO practise the "gate game" (convo me for explanation)

- DO expect to lose a bunch of ships but write them off as a learning fee

When you're comfortable in low sec then you can do some ratting in relative safety. It makes you some cash and you get used to being alert and on your toes :)
