removed the security hits for everything in low security
a really low security hit is left for podding
changed sentries to do more damage at gates leading to higher security systems
docking delay is over 5 seconds for small ships and scales to an additional 10 seconds per ship class in which time all your target locks are broken

No, keep security hits for Low Sec, it's really the only punishment a lot of pirates get.
No, lower security hits on podding will, guess what? Encourage podding. Podding is fine as it is.
Actually, not too bad an idea. If it's only at the gates leading to high security it does make since, but it does also decrease the risk of flying that first jump into low sec. This can be either good or bad.

- Last time i suggested making low sec 0.0 without bubbles i was crucified, but go ahead......
- If blowing ships up is without consequence, the incentive not to pod should be bigger, so increase the security hit for podding.
- Could work, but my reasoning to eliminate the sec hit for attacking was that it would make the turrets the least of a pirate's worries, as this would make it easier for anti piracy operations to commence=the pirates get their pew pew and the anti pirates would do something about the overabundance of target starved pirates making low sec a bit more viable.
- Not sure what you are trying to achieve there, but with the recent changes to undocking i would advise against trying to add anything that would further lower the security of running to a station for safety.

I suggested citizenship, a half hashed concord called the navy that is slow to respond but still shoot you dead, and empire hits instead of sec hits for low sec but nobody listened.
meh oh well.

this makes sense, i'd think its 'right' for someone with +ive sec to attack someone with -ive sec.. and on the flipside someone with -ve sec should be rightly punished for attacking a +ive sec (law abiding) person

Tarminic, if that was an attempt to come up with a stupid idea, you failed, cause its the best i've seen in possibly any of these threads.

this would just add tedious ratting for every pirate that doesnt care about having the lowest security and ikasu for those who dont live in 0.0 - which is a lot of people in eve - the security hits keep people from actively living in low sec
having to have an alt for all you purposes as the solution is only another problem for these types of people which are definitely not the minority
most people will never go to lowsec but these changes will bring more pvp from those who would like to do it at least once a week but still want to visit their friends in 1.0 systems
the alternative is to buff 0.0

Would make antipirate a little more viable as a career choice.

I live in high sec and low sec space myself, but If anything I think sec hits need to be harder. Eve is a world where a pirate can go on a killing spree and grind his sec back up without too much difficulty, removing low sec security hits would make far more +5.0 pirates, and that is the LAST thing we need.
Decreasing sec hits for podding is bad too, if anything you need to increase them as another poster said.
I like the gate guns idea though. --------------------------------------------------

I'm not so sure - currently pirates put up with the security hit, they would have no incentive to change that except purely to maintain the inconvenience anti-pirate currently suffer.
What would change is that anti-pirate who routinely engage them would be able to more easily maintain a positive security status, which means they're able to spend more time in low-sec instead of ratting in 0.0 or running missions to improve their sec status.

... would probably need to keep the hit for wacking anyone who's positive or "pirates" would all have 7 sec ratings.

Security hits aren't the problem with low sec. It's the lack of any real reward to draw players there. The plexes are gone. The mining isn't that much better than hi sec. The rats are pitiful and you'd get more bounties from missions in hi sec.
The people that want to go to low sec to shoot stuff are already there sec status be damned. It's everyone else we want to come to low sec and for that you need to make low sec profitable.

Great. So now pirates simply grind up their sec status and blow away people without repercussion?
I agree with making lowsec more profitable.

Why not just be able to shoot anything with negative status in low sec without repercussions (positive or negative) to the shooter? It'd be like 0.0, except it only applies when shooting negatives.
This would definitely give a needed boost to anti-pirates.

It can be improved :
1. if you blow someone with positive sec status, you take sec status hit, whatever your security status is.
2. if you blow someone with negative sec status, you take sec status hit only if your own sec status is lower than his.
And as already said, the problem with low sec (if ever) is not the reward, the problem of low sec is it's unplayable to everyone but pewpew-ers. Thus, no missionners, no miners, no merchants here... Even more if they re soloers (the main part of the hi-sec population)...
And when you have the logistic, you prefer go to null sec : at least no sec status hit when you Preventively try to protect yourself.

Sounds good at first glance till you realize that pirates would grind up to a +10 sec status (or 7 or 8 so higher than most) and then have a field day. Some wouldn't but many, many would. Enough to bork the whole thing. -------------------------------------------------- "Of course," said my grandfather, pulling a gun from his belt as he stepped from the Time Machine, "there's no paradox if I shoot you!"

Because pirates will grind 10.0 sec status and then be free to attack nearly anyone willy nilly. But the majority of people will be unable to attack them
End result: Same as it was before the change except the pirates can fly farther into empire.

Make it so that outlaws can access 0.4 but get killed should they actually misbehave there and you have a place for trade to occur without the need for alts... a sort of grey-zone.
That way those who want to be pirates can do so without worrying about their sec status too much.
This was already suggested somewhere by someone else, but until this issue is looked at then sec status is going to remain problematic since most pirates need to keep their security status high.
