If you're not trying to run away until they land on grid, it isn't the ship that's the problem.

hm
first of all , like others said it before, time and time again: whats fun for you and maybe others

with this idea in mind, lets take a look at the numbers: according to ccp, about 75% of people live in highsec, the rest in 0.0 and lowsec.

so, about 75% clearly dont enjoy 0.0 or lowsec as much as they do highsec. why is that ?

I dont´t know how many of those 75% are miners or pure alts of null- and low-dwellers, but it doesnt really matter.

I think it might be that eve is the most complete sandbox there is. of course it got flaws and issues but for some they see it as exactly that. and for them, pvp and constant fear of being hunted, killed or ganked, to get mangeld in too much politics and metagaming trash just aint too much fun. so they try to keep away from it as far as possible, hence they stay in highsec.

funny as it seems to some, even a few isk-oriented players don´t look at eve at "maximizing isk/h "..

for a lot of people eve is a game that gives them the possibility to play with pixel spaceships. and the idea of losing and having to get to buy all barges and fittings and all that crap over and over again just to barely be making more isk than anyone else is just not worth it.

and no matter how often people state that "highsec ganking" is so common and 0.0 is actually safer... its not.

and to the point that "lets change mining so fighting in a barge is fun"... thats like saying "give me a battleship with additional slots to fit some strip miners onto it in case i get bored in my gatecamps" or whatnot.

there ships in the game that are supposed to be more or less helpless when attacked. industrials, freighters, blockade runners. they neeed to GET THE HELL AWAY from the threat. not best it. some people just play this game to avoid conflict, make friends, chat whatever.

could it be that fact there are people in the game who rather mine / build, hell even haul stuff around rather than to fight.
some would say they miss out on a lot, and I tend to agree, but there are days or even months I dont want the rush and stick to mining. or doing PI for hours.

Fun maybe, but you are probably broke.

In my second day of EVE trial I lost my only ship, the hard earned Catalyst. At that time it was my only ship, a dream ship. You know who poped it? A fukin Iteron 5!!! It's not a freighter, but still...

And by the way, when you see a Venture in a belt, align and warm up the engines. Even in hi sec.

CCP has never released information implying anything like that.

The survey you're talking about showed that around 75-80% of Characters lived in HS. It said nothing of Accounts, let alone People, because that would be effectively impossible to count without sending mails to every account. (Most of the Characters I own live in HS full time. I consider myself to live in LS/0.0, depending on deployment.)

Mining could never be fun because pvp would become hello kitty online then.

But if by mining in LS-null you get income 2x or 3x better than HS some nullsec players might move their mining alts to null. But currently differences between mining in null and HS are like 1,2x or so. That is not motivating enough. We'll see after odyssey changes.

You know the easiest way to keep High Sec dwellers from thinking about moving to Null? Buff High Sec.

So you started a new thread to state something blindingly ******* obvious in a rambling, incoherent fashion.

Small wonder you're a miner.
