EVE New Citizens Q&A

Could you be a bit more specific in how you're trying to make money in lowsec?

Lowsec isn't a good place to make money off rat bounties. Ratting and missioning aren't worth the risk, I'll admit that. Stick to highsec missions if that's how you like to make money. (Ratting is best done in 0.0 anyways).

Lowsec PI can make some decent money, if you know what you're doing. I know somebody who can make over a billion per month in PI. (Though that could be with an alt.) Still, 500m per month for mostly passive income can't be too bad.

Exploration in lowsec isn't too bad either. Though you have to go out of your way to places no one is likely to go. If you expect to get a bunch of sites near a hub, you're probably out of luck.

Don't try so hard - you actually look like you're overcompensating now.

Make a JC that has 20 mil worth of +4s for whatever the attirbute you are training and a few 3% hardwires (if you need/want them) and just jump back and forth.

That being said a LOT of people fly some expensive implants in low-sec, because you stand are pretty high chance of getting you clone out. I've lost 33 ships in the year I've played but only 4 clones and two of them were my fault, aka I screwed up.

If you are in the S-button as you go down it takes a remote sensor boosted interceptor who's watching for it to catch you, you will usually get away.

well, thank you for those kind words :)

yesterday I was some kind of Tuskers groupie because I hang out in Havrice and other lowsec sectors nearby where they were flying, even played hide and seek with Mara Abraham for a few moments, exchanged some literature related words with her on local and then followed few Tuskers across several sectors luckily avoiding being scrammed and webbed by Suleiman Shouaa at one of gates.

but I suppose not very far into future this groupie will get gangbanged and that will scar her twisted mind even more :)

Lowsec is as safe or as dangerous as you want it to be.

That said, nice work on going out there and giving it a bash in the humble Rifter. We could do with more young pilots fighting, it's just plain fun (and good for the economy)

I could not agree with you more.

I do a lot of exploring in NPC nullsec and sov nullsec as well as low sec and sometimes there's trouble but I routinely go on 20-40 jump trips and make it through seeing some nullsec hi jinx.

Low and null sec are just more interesting.

You have nothing constructive to add to the thread, and you've been trolling since you got here. You, actually, look like the one overcompensating.

Didn't like low-sec myself, WH's are much more to my taste, but I commend the OP for at least *trying*.


Good on ya' m8!

EDIT TO ADD:


The Bastards have a policy of honoring every ransom that they make... They don't always offer a ransom, but if so, they *WILL* honor it!

On the contrary. The things you learn about the game in low sec can not be learned in high sec. And you don't have to have many skillpoints either to visit low sec. Many people say to them self, "not yet, I'll just wait until I get *insert random skill* before I enter low sec."

The quicker you go, the sooner you realize:

a) This isn't so bad at all, I'm still flying my ship

and

b) The thrill of watching your surroundings is something you never will experience in high sec, and once you've felt the sweet taste of danger that may be lurking around the corner, you never want to go back to high sec again. :)

+1 like for the OP because she is taking the risk and having fun.

And I agree getting blow up in the learning proces of PvP ain't so bad.

Get in fights, get messy, loose ships, have fun.

@ OP

Nice story and all only it just shows that pvp in eve online is dead.
Low sec pvp is mostly gatecamps and the same thing goes for null sec.

Going alone pvp is just asking to be killed and your post confirms this, if you see a target which looks to good to be true.
Its a baitship and you get scrambled as soon as you start attacking only to be killed by a larger group.

Being killed like cannonfodder in a game where the gameplay is all about skillpoints and fittings and basicly has the most passive gameplay i have ever seen is not fun.

Sure you only lost your cheap tech 1 frigate only you did loss your implants which costs way more then that frigate.

You can of course take a jumpclone without implants to pvp with only that basicly causes you to loss 48 hours of optimized skill training.
Which already take ages to complete.

I tried it several times using a fitted ship i didnt really care about to try and search for some fun pvp in low/null sec.
The only thing i came across are gatecamps.
