Jita Park Speakers Corner

Once upon a time, long ago, I proposed a change to Low sec... it fell on deaf ears (or so I thought)
Recently though, I have begun to hear, on Podcasts and such, that the idea is getting some attention - but not the way I intended.
The current thought is to make it possible to "fight" a system into lower sec...
Take a .4 system, bring 5 metric gigatons of Pirates in, and let them pull the system to .1, reap benefits (?) possibly even making it possible to nibble at .5 systems.
My idea is pretty much the opposite, and is more based on reality.
If you were a member of a vast intergalacticacil super doper empire, and there was a kerfuffle in the badlands... you would NOT leave it be... you would send in the cops to deal with it...
So, here's my thought... If enough pirates operate in a system long enough, the sec level of that system will begin to raise... eventually getting to the point where pirating becomes EXPENSIVE (with conga lines of Concord ships as proof)
As a related note: When you get killed, the system looks at your sec level vs. the attacker’s level... If your sec is pretty-sparkly+10, and the attacker is -9.956 then you were one of the beautiful people, accosted by ruffians.... Concord has a chance to show up, even in low sec (the larger the delta, the better the chance, moderated by the truesec of the space you're in)
This would cause the pirates to need to MOVE AROUND, not permacamping low sec. They'd also have to choose their victims carefully
Eventually, you'd wind up with pirates living in small enclaves, where they did NOT fight (Thou shalt not **** in the food bowl), and more High sec peeps willing to risk putting a toe in... Knowing that if they died, there was a CHANCE that concord would show up to avenge them....

theres a reason why lowsec exists, concord CANT AFFORD to patrol all of it. I don't like the idea of dynmically changing sec status of a system, unless it was limited to turning .5's to .4's and vice versa. I veto the idea of concord invovlement at all. I think it would be cool to see a sov-type system in place, so if enough pirates put down sov beacons in a .5 system, then the sov is downgraded to .4. The inverse would be true as well, allowing highsec anti-pies place sov beacons to raise the sec status of a system from .4 to .5, thus allowing combat to ensue on both sides.

I would definately put some limitations on it though, because if it was allowed in all systems, you'd pretty quickly find chribba staking out entire regions of lowsec and turning them into highsec.

from what I gathered from the last CSM notes, CCP intends on letting factional warfare kind of take on a role of anti-piracy as well, having them stake out all lowsec systems (not just FW ones). This would hopefully make lowsec PVP more fun again.

The problem with lowsec is that there isn't enough reward to justify the risk. You want to lower the risk to match the reward, but there's already a ton of space like that, it's called highsec. What really needs to be done is raise the reward to match the risk, or better yet, reduce the reward for low risk activities in highsec.

Also, if you think people outside of highsec are worried about losing ships then you have failed to grasp the fact that they have left highsec. Losing a ship (and more often than not, getting podded) is a calculated risk and, generally, not a big deal.
