This. Just like the real police, their purpose is as a deterrent and as punishment, not as prevention.

This.

You are as likely to die in 0.9 as 0.5 if someone decides to gank you. Concord will assplode the aggressor just the same.

Question

The differences between 1.0 and 0.5 are rather small.
Bad guy dies both times. Only difference is how many tier 3 battlecruisers or dessies they need to kill you first.

Your logic is flawed.

I doubt you are a new player as you would more than likely be asking for CONCORD to be more effective in 0.5 systems.

Instead your post comes over more like a tantrum. Yet the title of the thread sounds more like you're a low-sec gate-camper.

Yeah? And Jove should be a player race, and they should look like "greys"... I guess "should" doesn't always work out, huh?
HTFU, dude... you started your account in 2012. It's time to accept things, or give your toon and assets to someone else who can appreciate them.

Only takes a quick scan of eve-kill to see he lost a Retriever in Saatuban, Pod too. So yes, this is a tantrum post rather than a well thought out idea.

Magnus, don't take it so hard. EVE is a pretty unforgiving game, and you will get killed, a lot. The trick is, just don't worry so much about stuff. You get stuff, you lose stuff, that's EVE.

If you find that you are getting ganked a lot, and moving to a different system doesn't help, then a different ship might. The Procurer is only a little less m3/hour but the mid slots mean it can be shield tanked out a lot more, making you a less attractive target. Only downside is you have to take more regular trips to the station to haul.

Here's a thought...FIT...A...TANK!!!
You carebears never learn from your mistakes do you? I bet you've bought a new ship, a new mining ship and are mining away. And I bet you still haven't fit a tank...

EDIT: And don't say "I had a tank". Because I've seen the retriever and pod kill...

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

This makes no sense.

You want CONCORD.

CONCORD is not in Low at all.

Just what do you want ?

Ehm, carebear here, suggest you stay in 1.0 to 0.9 systems for faster Concord response AND fly a procurer (TANK IT)!!!! and you'll never have to be worried about getting ganked cause frankly if they do gank you they either dislike you or are looking for lol's cause I can tell you a tanked procurer (or even not) is not worth their time, me thinks it was for lol's AND you were hanging out in a system with sssssllllllllow Concorddonkin response time.

Don't need to be a billionaire to buy a rig that is somewhere less then 25m each. Also, fit your mids with tank mods. Shield booster, resistance mods etc. Don't make yourself a target and most gankers will leave you alone and look for soft targets. and ya the other poster that said skiff is spot on. They are much tougher then a mack and while they mine less, its better then having to keep replacing expensive mackinaws because youre a soft target.
