EVE General Discussion

I live in low-sec, as a pirate.

I explode ships and ransom people

I was there once, just browsing around looking at the stars not a care in the world then suddenley BAMM. I was in high sec. I think I hit one of those wormholes.

Several times. Usually goes as follows: fly around, occasionally see people in local, chat a bit, get bored, leave. People claim there are pirates or something there but I've never encountered this specific roleplay community. All I ever see is lowsec pvpers and FW, shooting each other and occasionally some hi/null person too dumb to know any better.

It's an ok place I guess, could use more to do. vov

I went to lowsec once and all I got was this lousy podkill.

One time I woke up in Jita with this horrible headache and pain throughout my body. I slowly got up from the hard metal floor of my ship realizing to my surprise I was completely naked.
My ship had this weird smell to it unlike anything else. It wasn't a bad smell per say, but something wasn't right about it. And when i finally got back a somewhat clear non-blurred vision I hastefully took a step backwards and almost tripped over empty bottles of Spirits and this ugly looking Amarrian Slave Hound. My confusion was promptly interrupted and perhaps amplified by a voice behind me. It was an exotic dancer female, one of many as it turned out, asking where we were and what the hell had happened last night.
Indeed that was a question that needed answers. The answer came to me quite rapidly as I walked into the other room in the search of my fancy attire. There were heads and skulls, placed like trophies, and a chained up Minmatar slave sitting in a corner staring into the void as if his soul had suddenly left him. He muttered faint words repeatedly "Please Don't make us go back there". Back where? I asked, and he pointed to the wall besides me, where someone had painted this huge Unicorn covering the whole wall. I immediately realized where I had been. My actions and events were all blurred and blacked out, but it appeared as if i had a good time. Poor souls I thought as i chuckled loudly while looking at the heads. Lowsec is one hell of a place..


What a riveting tale that was! On a serious note, i strongly encourage everyone to head out to low sec and find out for themselves. What could possibly go wrong?!

Lowsec is over advertised as dangerous place. Uuu the excitement when i put my first pos in lowsec. Was flying industrial solo, cargo full of valuable stuff. Fearing some pirate to find me before POS is anchored and has shield up..

Just like nullsec, most of lowsec is just booring, nothing much really happens there. Fame of tooth shattering danger is mostly earned by people camping gates from highsec. Once your throw those bottleneck systems, its usually smooth sailing.

I once tried to go out to Providence. Jumped into low or null, no idea. Tried to burn for the gate, podded and in highsec 3 seconds later.

Went there about 4 - 4.5 years ago, never returned to highsec.

I haven't differentiated between hisec & lowsec systems in forever now. I just set my nav to shortest route all the time.

Chances are, you'll have no problems. Though I did get bit earlier this year with that attitude, but it was the 1st time in forever.

If you're a bit less experienced and/or can't risk it, the map filters available will tell you if there's a problem system on your route.

edit: this was some 4 years ago.

First time I went to low-sec was up in Solitude (which I had "pod-expressed" to with my corp 2 months earlier).

I was told that the corp needed some critical stuff ASAP (Trimark rigs and EANMs I think?) and no one with a "safe" means of hauling was online. I had a Rifter that I got from someone else and was in a naked clone (having been podded two nights before)... so I figured I had nothing to lose and volunteered.

The shortest sec route from Solitude to empire space was null-sec and always camped with bubbles. So I asked if there was a low-sec route. There was. I was given the waypoint systems by a corpie and the needed ISK by another. Then I proceeded to I make the 25 jump round trip journey.

Long story short... I made the journey to and from unmolested. But my heart was pounding the whole time as I was assuming that my immediate demise (and the demise of 100 mil worth of stuff I was carrying) was just around the corner.


Now I live in low-sec.
