EVE General Discussion

I prefer the inherent danger of Highsec. 0.0 is for wusses.

Any organised nullsec will have their own internal logistics guys running Jump Freighter services, and besides, there will always be someone stocking your home system with the essentials, and if the alliance has set doctrines, someone will be setting up contracts of doctrine ships (and if not, well, congratulations, you've just found a really easy way to make lots of money!). I've been in Nullsec for four years, and getting hold of ships has never been a problem (sure, sometimes you will have to eat a nasty mark-up, but thats life). Depending where your "home" is out in space, it might not even be too hard to physically fly the ships you need out (I did this for every ship I had the first six months in null since I didn't know about Jump Freighter services!); granted, this is time-consuming and a little dangerous, but take it from someone who knows, it teaches you a lot about how to travel while evading hostiles, and the importance of safes, insta-undocks, gate perches, and interpreting intel!

Skillbooks is more tricky, but you'll want Jump Clones out in null anyway, so make sure you have one set up in highsec, and at a worst-case scenario, you can jump to your highsec clone to buy and inject as you need.

This. Even if you take a small corp of poor players out of empire who don't have JFs you can talk to other friendlies and get logistics help (even small things like scouts/cynos are useful). A lot of people start out with suitcase carriers initially to be self sufficient - it works at a corp or solo level. Plenty of people live in null without ever having owned a JF, or even being particularly wealthy.

Even though null sov is fairly stable at the moment there are also always people returning to game and firesaling fitted ships on contracts in stations they can't get to, and in NPC regions if they are relocating. Once you get into the swing of it, you really won't be losing lots of ships constantly anyway, so it's reasonably easy to build up a decent cache of ships and mods over time. Another useful thing now with having small/medium rigs which are relatively cheap - just buy hulls and keep caches of common rigs/mods then if need be flip them about and repackage ships where needed. You don't need to maintain a cache of fully fitted ships at all times.

Anyone nervous about leaving highsec due to logistics should just spend a few weeks in empire during a wardec, then lowsec, then an NPC null area, or a wormhole. After that a well organised null alliance seems like a holiday tbh, even compared to Empire logistics. Least you don't run the risk of being ganked whilst stuck on a gate trying to jump into Jita on a weekend, or AFKing a freighter through a hotspot :P

I tried it, didnt care for it. It feels the same as high/low sec only with more logistical headaches. I decided to try wormhole living instead and it seems to be more to my liking.

1) The inability to just kick back and play casually, without having to be on Full Alert every second, watching local and the intel channel for trouble.
2) Having to pay rent
3) CTAs
4) Politics
5) Jerks with authority

Everyone and their mother gatecamping the highsec to low/null gates. If there was a way to bridge me from highsec into the next lowsec system in a random location in the system, I'd do it without hesitating.

FTFY

Steps? There is only one step. Watch local. As soon as neutral enters system you safe up. The enter the local list long before they even load gate grid.

If you want to be lazy and afk occasionally glance at intel chat and if anything gets within 3jump safe up.

Nullsec is safer then highsec

Oh stop it you.

Too busy answering the question "What is keeping you from going to null sec"
