May I take this post and shove it at everybody posting a "grrrr highsec" thread? I take this to mean you are saying that everybody who plays the game is a risk-averse carebear. If that's what everybody is, all well and good. Nobody is going to force anybody to do anything so why bother.

Except that taking the option available to me that gets me more isk with less effort and less risk doesn't make me risk-averse. It makes me a pragmatist. Let's put it this way: would you work as a beat cop in a violent suburb of Los Angeles for $60k a year, or would you work as the supervisor sitting in his comfy, safe office making twice as much? Are you being risk-averse if you pick the latter, or did you make the intelligent, practical choice?

You're a nullbear who wants his safe blue donut

grr, goons


comfy safe office in VFK eating a blue donut

No, I was salvaging T2 frigate/destroyer/cruiser wrecks after a battle.

I was gonna say, savaging harry's t2 frigate bomber wreck might be nice for a newbie

Remove it from Null.

It's already gone from some Null, aka, Wormholes. Nobody crying there.

And FFS, if there is "new space" in a future expansion -- "Jove" or whatever -- then just don't have it there, either.

It's not the best isk in the world, although it's at least something new and different.
Although I rely on the map information to tell me where the most ships have died recently, and if that gets removed I won't be able to do this as much anymore. I'm okay with that though.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I've taken to flying a Nereus around lowsec with a bunch of warp core compensator's and shield extenders, fairly safe, getting ganked is only for bad fits

As the thread has gotten around to feeding on itself, I'm going to close it now. Thank you.
