Highsec... look at the number of pod kills. Last I looked there were more pod kills in Jita than any one system in 0.0

Pure numbers won't help you.
You need a Jumps per Kill Ratio to define danger.



Um if there are 79 pod kills in one system and zero in the other it looks like the 79 is more scary than the zero...
Youd expect to die in the system with 79 (hence it being more dangerous) than the one with zero

Plus most of ligh sec has at least one in it... wait till Hulkageddon lol it REALLY lights up then



By your logic the biggest trade hub would be in nullsec...

Jita dangerous, djeez....

My gut reaction was to say lowsec... but the truth is there is one specific region you can go to in EvE that is really a trial by fire. A friend of mine told me something about 5 years ago and to this day I think it holds true:

"If you can make it in Fountain you can make it anywhere in EvE"

From less safer to safer I'd say:

WH space

High sec

Low sec

Null sec

I think high sec is the most dangeorus becuase you have no idea who is going to kill you until its too late.

You might not know who's going to kill you in high-sec, but in low-sec there are a lot more people willing to kill you. I'd say low-sec is a lot more dangerous, though it's a bit more predictable danger.

make it to J100549, cookies waiting for you

back to topic, wh is the most dangerous.

yes indeed you're in jump range of wh when you jump and so is your enemy. plus you will get polarized which stop you from jumping again for 4 minutes

The difference of course being that in high sec the answer to who is going to kill me is usually "no one". Only idiots in expensive untanked ships die in high sec. Occasionally idiots with war decs who forgot to drop corp, but that's getting rarer.

Everywhere else in Eve its "everyone who gets a chance to".

Also, as to the idiot claiming jita is dangerous due to the number of pod kills:

A) People self destruct or shoot pods to fast travel.
B) Danger on a personal level is statistics based. If a system has on average 10 people in it, and 5 have died in the last 30 minutes, it is for an individual more dangerous than a system with 1,000 players, of whom only 100 have died.

The most dangerous sec is the one in which you don't understand the risks.

For many people, this seems to be high sec.

Sweet! I'll right-click set dest... oh. Huh. Nevermind. You probably think of this protective mechanic in terms of how scary it is to leave your private server and fly through "less dangerous" low/null to get to a trade hub.

polarization is directional. You can immediately jump back.

WH space the most dangerous all round but the the other 3 depend on who you are and how well you know the residents.

w-space, then low-sec, then null, then hi-sec.

Yeah people not understanding the risks of high-sec, blah blah. I've never been suicide ganked, and I used to spend A LOT of time autopiloting.

if you jump forth and back, you get polarized for 4' and you have no where else you can run.

What a stupid question.

Well anyways, the "most dangerous" areas in eve would be different depending where you go and what you are in.

It's more a list of very specific systems in 0.0, low, and high sec areas due to them being choke points and traditional camp spots.

A significant number of 0.0 systems are low threat, as is low and high security. I've been "blind jumping" through gates for years now due to that fact with only a few instances of negative effect.

This debate basically boils down to the desire of some pilots to think they are better than others because they live in location A and perform task B. When in actual effect the person with the most balls is the hulk pilot that mines during hulkageddon not the numpty living in 0.0 feeling bad ass because he survives in an area that barely registers on the "number of pilots in space in 24 hours" unless his alliance gets together to do something, or the guy living in lowsec looking for a fight who gets aggravated because every system he goes to people are chilling out in station not giving a damn. Or the weirdo in wormholes thinking he's all bad ass because there is no local, but in effect he collapsed all the entry holes and is only in a vague sense of danger.

If we are going to go by the principle that a place is dangerous because something bad might happen when you least expect it highsec wins hands down because there it's crowded people that you don't know surround you, and all it takes is someone bored enough to do something for the lulz to change the safety cushion.
