EVE New Citizens Q&A

If so, then why?

Thanks,

i dont agree.
low sec is where people live who do pvp for a living.
0.0 is full of carebears who just Nap each other.

harlot. i have lived and runned fleets in 0.0 since 2003,
your a goon, you should know who BOB are.

MWD-Cloak will get you safely through 99% of lowsec. Nullsec has bubbles - ergo, lowsec is far, far safer for travel.

If you're looking for PvP I also find it's easier to avoid the blob and get decent fights in lowsec.

In my experience: In nullsec you are less likely to meet hostiles randomly, but if you do they have more secure ways of trapping and killing you available to them.

Travel through both is dangerous for an outsider; but living there is safer in player-controlled nullsec, as your alliance can invest in infrastructure and intel organization methods to keep their people safe. On the other hand in NPC-controlled nullsec it's a lot like losec in flavor and most of the PVP that happens in nullsec, happens in and around NPC-controlled nullsec.

There is no "dangerous" when it comes to PVP anywhere in New Eden. In the context of PVP, the term has a semantic value slightly less than a Zimbabwese dollar.

PVP simply is. Whether you're playing the market trading or manufacturing, operating any kind of moon-anchored equipment in any sec, or shooting other shipz in any sec.
You need to invest time, effort and ISK into an activity, and risk losing it all if you get it wrong.

In any sec, as soon as you raise your head above the closely cropped lawn, people are out to get you, be it for "tears", "lulz" , or profit.
If you're willing to not Wuss Out, being (perma)decced in highsec makes life just as interesting as in Low or Null, with possibly the added advantage that it's a bit harder to get Blobbed.
Low and Null are only "more dangerous" to the extent that everyone can shoot you if they feel like it. Then again, you choose to hang around in areas where you know the old Wild West reigns supreme.
In that respect, Sov-held Null can be safer than even highsec, because there are very few griefers that manage to get in that far, and almost never in sufficient force to be more than a mere nuisance.

You always view things from your own experience, but even as a professed Highbear I have been CEO of a corp that was permadecced for months on end ( a story in and of itself ) , I have played Tourist in Places Where I Shouldn't Be ( and got some nice screenshots before getting sent back by Pod Express ) , ran rookie excursions to Major Landmarks ( and usually got most people back to high after Getting There) , traded and transported for/with friends through secs, and all the other little things you can do if your main ISKmaking profession gets a bit stale.

You can be burned out of the skies of New Eden at any time, in any Sec, regardless of what you fly. If your opponents are dedicated enough they will find a way.
That's not "dangerous" , that's simply EVE.

Who: PL
Where: Where ever they are fighting on a contract.

No, tell me about them. :allears:

Regarding low sec gatecamps, how about smartbombers and resolution fleets? It seems to me these tactics can be quite effective "replacing" bubbles if properly mastered.

Yes and no. Or rather, they are dangerous in different ways and for different activities. Low-sec is not "toy null-sec", it is an entity of its own. Gate guns and lack of bubbles make camping a different activity altogether. Avoiding a gate camp in lowsec is easier. On the other hand, in null-sec there are fewer of them and if you know the region you usually can receive advance intel of where they are, while in low-sec quality intel is sparser and there's too many people to properly keep track of anyhow. Etc etc.

So to get a meaningful answer what you want to ask is "I want to do X. Where should I do it?"
