Is there anywhere in this game thats so dangerous because its locked down that no one ever goes there unless its with a massive invasion fleet or is everywhere transient and full of AFK cloakers.


I do know that when Providence fell back when Nox was 120 isk per unit it became the wild west as people scrambled for space and may have been the nullsec that Hilmar daydreams about while he strokes his lovely ginger beard.

Rancer.

You hear "The Next Episode" booming from the ships cyno'd on you at the gate as their hulls bounce from hydraulic systems.

Highsec?

It's locked down tight and it's where all the money is, just think of all those freighters, the only people who go there are trying to ninja inbetween the concord or are a big fleet like burn jita.

I was there™. It really wasn't all that great. Lots of fighting, sure, but not particularly unsafe. Actually it might have been even safer than before, because the large number of roaming gangs (rather than solo pilots) made gatecamping ineffective.

Fit a MWD and cloak on at least a moderately fast ship, and you're safe going through 99.9% of gates. Use a neutral scouting alt (covert ops preferred) and you're safe everywhere, barring ungodly amounts of bad luck. Null/low sec space is not that scary if you know how to manage it.

That said, there are gates through which it is completely unsafe to regularly go. Ossogur gate in Amamake, the general Rancer region, choke points into nullsec (HED-GP, Sendaya, etc.), and other locations. Just look for chokepoint systems with lots of jumps; and if it's in low/null sec, it is bound to be unsafe. Even better, if it borders another security region (low->null, high->low, and especially high->null), then the risk for camps is even greater.

The best way to get rid of Rancer gate camps and others is to not even go there, boredom will kill them, however since that may not be an opinion howbout some work arounds devs??? New gates, static WH to hi from 0.0 ??? That would be funny if devs ganked Rancer gate and others like it! Pirateyarrr. No more free lazy man padded kill boards.

Rancer has the rep, but no matter how many times I go through I've never been ganked. Maybe they're just not interested in nanocanes.

There is still gate camps in Rancer?

I though Cat-o-nine-tales got rid of them for good.

I like Fountain. It's absolutely dead a lot of the time, there's lots of NPC stations, and nobody can really control it. Huge fleets going to and from cloud ring and delve sweep through periodically and kill anyone trying to hold it, and it's pretty much the wild west all the time because nobody can be evicted (NPC stations) and any time a group moves in with actual organizational structure it's obliterated just by the tension between aridia, delve, cloud ring, etc... it's a fun place to be, and I can't think of a better place to loose some ships.

Rancer was worse back in before 07 and 08. It's always been notorious for Smart Bombing Battleships as it's on a major Pipe line to and from trade hubs. As far as Rancer is concerned having your auto pilot NOT set to avoid low sec is the only real danger there.

Amamake, the mother land, use to be that way. Back when Heretics hand a fierce grip on it. Not anymore tho. I'm talking the days off BANE wolfe, mugen, etc,. The good ole days.

Now the only place where you will find it hard to get in and out of is deep in the hive. (Goon Swarm Central) and the only reason that is, is because they own so much there's just that much more chance you'll hit an occupied gate on the way in or out.

The only system in EVE that is truly 100% not safe is what ever system I am in. =D

No one daydreams about Providence, its crappy space.

There was a system I was kind of leery of entering when I was running level 4 missions out of Lonetrek... EC-P8R. Hisec to Lowsec gate. Probably lots of fun times if not in a shiny mission ship
