I trust that your piggish little beady eyes notice that not only are the rats bigger than in the highesc belts, they also carry more bounties.

Now GTFO

Not so fast !

I actually have noticed the "belt" rats carry more bounty and are bigger fish

But

I can do lvl 4s all day long in high sec and not only make MORE money but get the same loot

High sec is ok for money but should not the risk of being low sec carry better loot as well

So far,

My journey into low sec has left me un inspired to say the least ...best to hang in high sec for the money you will need if you ever want to venture forth into low sec for the long haul ( hint you will need at least a BILLION with a b)

Thing is low sec isn't really THAT dangerous with a little knowledge, the right ship, and the right friends. If the rewards were upped to the point you suggest they should be, the people who have no prob doing whatever they want in low sec would be making billions an hour.

Loot has been completely nerfed out of missions because they are spam repeatable. You do get more lp if you do the same missions in lowsec, and there are also level 5 missions.

lowsec belt ratting is either about sec status raising, in which case you just want to find 1 bs and then move on to a new system, or finding a faction cruiser.

The low searching effort alternative (in high, low or null) is anomolies, which offer a higher chance of a faction spawn (which may be larger than the belt rat faction spawns for that sec), and a small chance at an escalation - escalations are great to do in low, because only you have the BM (which means your risk is only significant at gates and from combat probes).

For a small fee of 500m ISK per month I will ensure you get better loot from lowsec rats.

You are currently comparing missions and ratting, which isn't the same. If you do lvl 4 missions in low sec you will make more isk then in high sec.

As mentioned above, the belt spawns in low sec have better bounties then in high sec. When ratting in systems with lower security status you obtain a better chance of getting faction spawns etc. which drop better loot. Furthermore, due to the increased size of low sec rats (possibly BC's and BS's) you get different loot drops then in high sec.

Can drop :) Hell sometimes the faction frig that pops when you look at it contains stuff worth more than the big fat battleship ...

Yes I was and im sorry for doing so

I just thought that the RISK vs REWARD kinda sucked (ignoring the increased bounty for belt ratting) I still think they should increase the reward but not by crazy amounts

And level 5's and 4/10, 5/10 and 6/10 plexes and escalation plexes which drop similiar loot, but hey who really cares about that sort of stuff. Please keep bashing low sec isk making.

Watched a couple of your videos, and I figure you're a pretty knowledgable guy, regarding exploration.
That said, I can't tell if you're serious about low-sec.... What?

I don't always post on the forums, but when I do, I prefer posting with my main.

Yes, I was trolling.
I felt the need to put out some counter intelligence since I'll be moving out to low sec soon. Blink

It's become rather boring carebearing it up with high-sec exploration.
I'd rather carebear it up with low-sec exploration Cool
