Of course if I wanted to be sarcastic I'd say, "Go over to your wife's purse, open it up. Take out your balls. Go back to your computer. Jump into LS." P

Really nothing to do with that. I don't want to lose that feeling i had when i first time jump my Orca into low by mistake.
I almost got an heart attack and this was real adrenaline bomb explosion. Lol i was expecting some ass **** but it was empty system anywayBear

What's stops me to go to low is that i know for sure in most of the cases i'm going to be out numbered, outgunned, outsomething else.

I have been PVP'ing solo in lowsec since 2013. I do it in small gangs too, but prefer solo. I'm not convinced that a change is needed in the game to encourage solo PVP in low. I think a change in attitude amongst players is needed, but not the game. Too many people care about killboard stats instead of the fight itself.

Deleting all killboards would be a positive, as well as getting rid of killmails. I would be down for that. We have killmarks now for bragging rights and if you get into a particularly intense fight, there's always Shadowplay (or it's equivalent on alternative softwares) so you can record your glory for YT.

I think that the description in the OP is how 0.5 systems should work.

OK well now that we've solved that problem - how do we bring more 0.0 supercapital blobs into low-sec?

I propose that we make it so there is no jump fatigue for jumping a ship into low-sec (leave fatige for bridging other ships though).

But clearly EVE would be a better place if we bring this exciting content to low-sec (and then high sec - but that is a separate plan).

Discuss!

(or not, I think we are beating enough dead horses around here by now, we can probably just leave them alone if you prefer)

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool. They lay. They rotted. They turned Around occasionally. Bits of flesh dropped off them from Time to time. And sank into the pool's mire. They also smelt a great deal.

100% agree.
Really it is the exact same concept.
The root of the problem is that the only real difference between lowsec and nul is the lack of bubbles in low.
There needs to be a gradual change from more secure to not secure at all.

Instead of thinking of it as making lowsec more safe lets think of it as making the less secure highsec systems even less secure.
Same concept more gradual steps.

I like how the conversation has shifted from the OP's post about bringing more solo *PvP*ers to low-sec to pushing PvEers out of high-sec P

Now about luring in those supercapitals...

Well ... you can't force people to play solo, but you can bring in the bears which you might be able to take on solo yourself.

This is for Your enjoyment, not theirs Pirate
