I like to think of game immersion as important. Not being *able* to do something in highsec seriously damages the game's credibility. It is complete fantasy, but they tossed in some physics for us to help supplement that fantasy's quality.

It is more believable that CONCORD just blows you up than to suddenly have your targeting computer rendered inoperable, a security feature most pilots of mechanic and electronic skills would like to think they could have bypassed if they're installing rigs and whatever else on their ships.

Coming from other games where combat is completely prohibited in "safe areas," I found this aspect of Eve to be delightfully refreshing.

Immersion is a big one for me, but many players seem to hate it. For example, I would prefer that CONCORD warp scrams and tows you back to a local outpost, to be held for a specific period of time, especially for minor crimes like theft and whatnot. But if you kill a pod, they should not only pop your ship, but pop your pod, too.

But 'immersion' is a hate word. Players don't want immersion. Heck, at a certain point, you can have too much immersion. I don't want to work in game, know what I mean? Or be forced to eat every few hours, that kind of thing.

Maybe if my character took care of some of those things himself, especially when I wasn't online, then sure.
