Originally by: Liang Nuren - Almost all pirates have alts to highsec mission with. The only difference you'd face is that the pirate's isk stream would actually be vulnerable now. - Why would it be bad if there were incentives to live in low sec? Is it really piracy just because it's lowsec NBSI? Does that mean that defending your territory in 0.0 is also piracy?
As to the idea of shifting security statuses.... I'm kinda ambivalent. I don't think it would add to the game noticeably, would be vulnerable to exploitation (I'm sure), and doesn't address the problem that highsec is far better the higher sec status low sec systems.

If pirates have high sec alts, how would increasing low sec rewards suddenly make thier high sec income vulnerable?
The way the game has evolved, highsec is for safety, Null is for income and freedom (if you are big enough), and low sec is for gankage, maybe pvp. People don't move to low sec to get rich. They move there to find easy targets. The problem is that the more successful the gankers are, the more players avoid the area. This is why low sec isn't populated.
I'm not saying you can't get rich in low sec, because you can do it. Look at B A N E alliance. They have a titan and a cap fleet. They have lots of targets because of the amarr and minmatar militias. The changes to moon mining HAVE boosted low sec income. Boosting low sec income further would make it less safe in the long run.
The only way to get more people into low sec, would be to provide a way for players to make it safer.
I'm very sorry, but that's a total BS.
How the hell low-sec is supposed to be there 'for gankage' when there are no attractive features for the victims? Who is ganking who exactly? Calling low-sec a place for PvP and discarding proposals of boosting the income output on this sole reason is like calling 0.0 a farming place and prohibiting any aggresion
Why the heck would you want to make low-sec safer when there are no damned reasons to live there in the first place!? ---[center] Please resize your signature to the maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist |
