When i fly around in Eve im generally happy but there are two blemishes on this oh so bright sun imo these are:
1. Being in low sec isnt lucrative enough.
- Fix: Make rat bounties larger in low sec to increase numbers of ratters as well as giving a decent reward/risk ratio since now its just a risk. I dont know anything about mining but i have a hunch that the higher prices in Trit has made it more lucrative to mine in high-sec than in low sec, this i dont have a fix for, but get ppl to mine low sec too so that mining corp actually has a reason to hire merc corps for protection (and so that Chribba can have the veldspar in high-sec for himself).
2. The current bounty mechanics doesnt work and hasnt worked for years.
- Fix: Replace with kill contracts you can give out like normal contracts its just that they activate the transfer of the reward upon that person killing who the contract was for.
-Discussion: Im not certain if this contract should come with the kill rights as well and if destroying the persons ship is enough or if it has to be pod as well.
edit:damn title
Posting for credibility, Cherab is my alt.

1. Though a boost might be in order you have to make sure not to boost it to much and it becomes better than 0.0.
The strength in 0.0 imo is that you can gank anyone no consequence i.e. sec hit or so. But yeah not better than 0.0 but i want it to be close atleast.

2. Such contracts might be a good way to handle it.
Thanks

I agree that they need more rewards, but I really don't want more people in lowsec. Making 3-5 mil an hour ratting in a cruiser is lucrative only if you are alone, plus more people means more pirates.
Bolded important part, as i see this its not always a bad thing. If low sec is more lucrative ppl who can handle pirates will eventually come there too.

I dunno - I do exploration and even some missioning in lowsec regularly. I keep my guard up and if someone finds me I'm long gone before they can get a point on me (usually before they even get to me, since I abandon any mission/site that someone else gets a BM to).
I'll agree that the belts in lowsec could use some work. Changing the mineral inputs into the system to bring the price of Isogen and Noxcium back up would be a good start. Ratting is just fine for people in frigs / cruisers - keep moving, SS or dock if someone comes in system.
Ratting isnt fine imo to low bounties and to similar to .6 systems. btw "Mankirks Wife" <= wow player spotted!
