Here's a concept... Since it is called LOW security and not NO security add SOME security...
In addition to the Sentry guns, which everyone knows is a joke, add some NPC police that will respond. Not Concord, but actual NPC ships that can be tanked and destroyed. Make it so that they respond slightly slower than Concord as well.

New mechanics would be awesome. There's a lot of cool **** they could do with lowsec.
however, yes, boosting NPCs, ore, and level 5 missions would fix lowsec.

Edited by: umop 3pisdn on 01/04/2008 01:09:37 Yep, same ore/rats as 0.0 Worse exploration opportunity's No large POS allowed (same should be for empire tbh...) No POS would be preferable but there is no alternative for now and it would disrupt the 0.0 economy (with POS's being used as jump points for capitals)
That'd pretty much do it... gate camps aren't hard to get around unless you are incompetent, sorry to say.
Another good idea would be to make NPCing less time intensive, shorter, harder battles against less NPCs would be good and more PVP like.
Missions should not be so hard to find, exploration sites should be warpable complexes like static complexes once found.

EVE is a pvp centered game. I'm sorry but its true. Low security space is there as a jumping off point to 0.0. Adding concord/concord-lite is contrary to the purpose of low security space. If low security space was safe there would be no reason to be in high security space since both ore and rats are better in low security space.
Besides, you are just wrong in your assumptions. The real protection in low security space is the inability to use a warp bubble.

And the fact that large ships have to be used to lock/attack a target first due to sentries, and the fact that there are many more stations in lowsec...

Faction police would ruin gate camps so I vote no. Let the poor buggers who make a living off the morons of eve who blindly jump into low sec with billions in isk in their untanked t1 indys cargo hold well, make a living.

Well, most pirates complain about the lack of targets in low sec because most people are hip to the notion that taking their untanked indys with billions of cargo is a Bad IdeaÖ.
In order to do this there need to be different mechanics. Not saying the OP's ideas are it but we have been around this block many times on the forums and some good ideas have popped out. If you leave it so jumping into a camp pretty much = death no one will go there. If you find ways to give other players a real chance at flying around out there then yes, pirates will not kill absolutely everything but with more targets it should even out. One would think that would be a lot more fun for all parties.
Making low sec more valuable is a waste of time without a change of mechanics. You could put arkonor out there and it would not be worth mining (better off sneaking into 0.0 to ninja mine there).

Yeah low-sec as it stands now adheres to no logic. As I've said before you don't build fancy-shmancy multi-billion (trillion?) isk stations in a solar system without some form of stability and order in said system.

Some logic to the low sec might help. I am thinking of a system in essence. It's a .4 surrounded by .7 secs. Has one base, 8 or so belts, is like every other system in all respects except it is .4 sec.

Then add an NPC police presence (that can be tanked, killed - i.e. not a CONCORD replacement) around stations in Low Sec. I'd be for that. It is a logical addition, and it doesn't break station-adjacent PvP.

This. We don't need no more stinkin NPCs, you can stay in 0.5 and above since the rewards aren't good enough in lowsec for you now, adding some crappy NPCs won't make them any better.

You guys are making em feel old here.
There was actually a time when Sentry guns didn't attack in low sec. That was added to provide the 'low' instead of 'no' sec feel. Since then tanking has increased by large amounts and it's possible to ignore them for the most part. PvE needs a revamp. We are engaging the same stuff we engaged back when they introduced battleships to the game. I think they have a few plans on the table, they just don't advance them. If you follow the evolution of drones in Eve, it implies that there might some day be an intelligent drone and it might invade all of Eve. We don't know though. |

Sigh We've been over this so many times.
You would have to make the ore better than 0.0 to make it viable. No matter how good teh rats are, you will not get people to move there until something is done about the game mechanics.
ATM, Sovereignty makes it much easier to defend and hold 0.0 areas. Since sov is not possible in lowsec, this limits the defenders quite considerably. Hence the reason why lowsec is actually more dangerous than 0.0 in most cases.

Well... lowsec is like NPC 0.0 regions, without sentries or sec loss for piracy.
People still live in NPC 0.0 regions, and even live there where they don't have access to stations and everything is brought in by carrier runs. This is because the rewards outweigh the risks of living there, lowsec does not have the rewards that an NPC 0.0 region has and is rather useless for anything other than shooting the first person you see. You will pretty much never see people making carrier trips to a stationless lowsec system and living out of a POS hanger, because it's just not worth it. ------------

There is some security. There's sentries preventing the use of interceptors/etc/etc on gates and the 330ish DPS they deal is noticeable for small camps.
I also don't see any bubbles and such in low-sec. Which would make it, like, really insecure

I wouldn't mind it if they gave alliances who controlled a constellation at a certain sovereignty level the ability to hire NPC police to cover their region. This would have a number of advantages: 1) Makes 0.0 feel less empty (when traveling between gate camps, you'd have one more enemy to avoid) 2) Adds immersion to the game (it doesn't really make sense that you can roam through hostile territory without anyone caring) 3) One more ISK sink (woohoo)

Actually, the pirates whine plenty about it, and suggests various hairbrained schemes to "lure" empire players into low-sec with the promise of high potential rewards.

April fools?
Anyways. What I would prefer (that is with the exception of removing high-sec ), is that gatecamping became impossible. Allow bubbles in low-sec, but they would be popped at gates, and so would any other ship, including titans. Instead the bubbles could draw people out of warp, midwarp. This was suggested in another thread, and I really like this. No need for meta gaming with alts, and a new tactical environment would come out of this.

It would be safer for the gatecampers yes, but there would be more ways to avoid the camp. If you scanned out the pirates, then you could simply make a quick detour by a planet or if you often travelled trough that are, by a safespot. Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. |

I've always been of the opinion that low-sec should have good rats in it, while 0.0 should have good rats, good ore, and good exploration. Ratting is typicaly an idividual activity, and anything that encourages people to fly alone or in small numbers into a possibile PVP situation is a step in the right direction if you ask me. Getting more 'bears in BS flying alone in low-sec will mean more pirates hunting bears alone or in smaller gangs rather than in a huge gate camp. Getting more pirates hunting alone will mean more anti-pies hunting and baiting pirates alone or in small gangs too.
The problem with low-sec as I see it is that the vast majority of the potential piracy targets are simply trying to pass through low-sec instead of doing something in low-sec, and to catch most of these guys you need a gate camp with a combination of ships that can both tackle and kill the target quickly while tanking gate guns. The pirate who tries to kill someone jumping into him while solo is already at a big disadvantage since odds are he either can't tackle the target fast enough, can't kill the target fast enough, or can't tank long enough. IMO this is part of why we see larger and larger camps out there.

No, it's the "I will never leave high-sec, it's too dangerous out there" people making all the "fix low-sec" threads. And the "fix" is almost always making it more like high-sec.

Do you just ignore all of the "nerf high-sec missions / rats / ore to get bears into low-sec" ideas or what? I can guarantee you that the high-sec dwellers aren't the ones making those suggestions.

Ehm no. Not quite.
Look through a couple of the larger recent threads on the topic, and you'll see the same pattern: attempts at making low-sec more enticing (higher rewards) to get high-seccers to move out there, when the high-seccer solution - what you describe as "make low-sec more like high-sec" - would entail lowering the risks.
I'm not denying that the carebears whine, but the gankbears do it as well, and the difference in what approach the two camps choose is quite apparent: "Increase the rewards" (aka lure more carebears into harm's way) = gankbear. "Lower the risk" (aka nerf/remove the gankbears' toys and tactics) = carebear.

Right now the entire concept of low sec is flawed: it's supposed to be a gradual transition from the complete safety of hi sec to the zero safety in 0.0.
Instead, new players are tossed to the wolves the instant they jump through their first gate into low sec. How is that a gradual introduction? It's not, and it puts many people off of low sec forever.
In real life, it would be as though empire were a castle, low sec the land outside the castle, and 0.0 the forest full of brigands. And somehow, the entire group of brigands has set up camp literally right ouside the castle gates, within spitting distance of the guards, where they are free to rob and plunder everyoen who sticks his nose outside the castle portcullis. I think players realize intuitively this is entirely backwards and swear off low sec because of it.
But fixing all that would be difficult.
Fixing missioning in low sec in battleships would also be quite difficult and would almost certainly have to involve some nerf to piracy, so let's skip that too.
Some trivially easy fixes should be boosting the belt rats in low sec to about the value of crappy 0.0. Also boost low sec ores some how so they're worth mining. The reason they're useless is almost entirely the drone regions, but it wouldn't be hard to do something like introducing entirely new ores.
0.0 could use fixes as well - new ores, and all the regions with crappy true sec should get better rats so they are better than the new beefed up low sec.

1) Larger rewards will not get people into lowsec. Unless it were ridiculously large rewards that could be had with relative ease, for example: jump into lowsec in a shuttle, get a million ISK. It's just not worth it.
2) Lowsec is not a jumping off point to 0.0. They are entirely different. Lowsec is like the ghetto of a big city, 0.0 is like a private island you can colonize.
3) No matter how few wary people refuse to go to lowsec there are a million idiots who transport Obelisk BPOs in Punishers. Real pirates who are interested in profit rather than simply carebear tears (although they are tasty) know this and that's why we're still here in spite of the remoteness.
4) This has nothing to do with pirates, gankbears or carebears. The problem is most people simply do not understand why lowsec is what it is or the psychology behind it. The endless solutions that favor one group over another, and are yet ineffective at the same time, are a distraction. Yet this bickering makes up 99% of debates on this topic.
5) Lowsec is not difficult to survive in but it does, at times, require patience, planning, scouting and effort. Things that immediately make it undesirable for people who can complete Gurista Extravaganza in their CNR in 20 minutes. If your goal is to simply make ISK it can be done a lot easier in High Sec. The key is not risk vs. reward, it's time/effort vs. reward. My suggestion to get people into lowsec is not to increase reward or decrease risk, it's to decrease time/effort with an entirely new mission system for lowsec.

I have to disagree with you here. If there were good rats in low sec, people would rat there, just like they do in 0.0
I think a good number of newer players and/or players who don't want to get involved with an alliance would love to have easy access to good rats close to their high-sec homes. If anything low-sec could get a little too crowded.

Here's the low sec fix: leave it as is
high sec is the only place solo play should be viable. Money making should always be soloable but securing the place to make money should not. Low-sec missions are good enough to be justified but you gotta do them as a team in pvp set ups (speaking from experience). You gotta be a gang of bullies to cut it in low sec and thats what its for. Low-sec is fine.

Gates need to be looked at and redesigned before any other suggested change gets implemented.
Hows about the novel approach of making people appear on the other side around 200 km from the gate?
If they want to return back the way they came, they can warp to the gate.
Gangs would jump through at random distances so would have to 'regroup' (I never understood the point of that feature, could be 'useful') before they could blob up.
Excuse the fact that this would make interceptors useful , punish 'packed' blobs and mean defenders of gates have to do more work to catch targets and give the 'curious' that have never left high-sec, a bit of a safety buffer for a very small change to the game.
If 200km works out as duff, reduce or increase that distance until a happy medium is worked out. 15km from an object is just way too close and yet, not far enough.
There are lots of lots of ways to fix people coming to low sec. All of them good ideas. All of them shot down as people want low sec populated without any changes to the way they play the game.
I say keep dreaming up ideas, I'm sure CCP will pick one and test it out.

Originally by: Sarakiel Here's the low sec fix: leave it as is
high sec is the only place solo play should be viable. Money making should always be soloable but securing the place to make money should not. Low-sec missions are good enough to be justified but you gotta do them as a team in pvp set ups (speaking from experience). You gotta be a gang of bullies to cut it in low sec and thats what its for. Low-sec is fine.
Wow, first decent post Sarakiel has ever made....

better still, make it an option the pilot choses himself.
'Jump to next system at [15|50|100|200]km from gate'
Leave as much alone as possible though. Its hard to suspend disbelief when ships morph and grow new 'slots' and 'abilities'. If things like this need to happen, introduce new ships.

Well he forgot the part about 0.0 being just as dangerous but about twice as rewarding. The only difference is warp bubbles, really. And that's not enough of a difference to make low-sec better for mission running. And it isn't. Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. |

Well, TBH I'm ignoring all his 0.0 fanatical comments because they aren't appropriate here AND we all know how good they are
He said leave it alone, its supposed to be dangerous. I happen to agree. He also said you aren't supposed to be there solo, I happen to agree.
Now if we can get all the gankbears off the topic, life is good

Originally by: Alowishus Lowsec is not a jumping off point to 0.0. They are entirely different. Lowsec is like the ghetto of a big city, 0.0 is like a private island you can colonize.
This^^, my interpretation, not sure what CCP's is.
Boost low sec rats so you can live there.
short version of my big post the forums stuffed up.
