Jita Park Speakers Corner

Hans Jagerblitzen and Alekseyev Karrde are two of the most active CSM members in CSM7. Both are from lowsec.

Not to toot my own horn, but I think my blog post in my sig has some decent ideas... feel free to hate though.

There are some great ideas, but how CCP thinks about lowsec (doesnt think at all), it would need some substantial resources which they are not ready to put in.

****What i had in mind is to give to lowsec a purpose, an identity. The purpose is a quick buck (at least faster and bigger isk rewards than highsec) the identity would be the transition btw highsec and lowsec into null and viceversa.

How to achieve those things?

***Quick buck

- Exploration
- Missions
- Mining (Drug manufacturing should be available in lowsec too)
(the new tagforsec idea is very welcomed into this script)

All of those activities need to be doable fast but yield more isk than they do in highsec.

- Exploration: There is need a faster spawn rate of plexes (1-3/10). U dont want bears come form highsec and search for hours for something meaningful, because they ll be probably dead.
- Missions: Lot and faster NPC spawns. Shorter but dense missions.
- Rare spawn of dense rare materials in standard asteroids, which u can deplete in15 mins max and should yield a nice amount of isk.

Hint: There would be a need of fine tuning. These activities shouldnt be to short so that the bears have chance to be caught. Risk vs reward should be present. 15 min should be enough for each.

***Transition Highsec<>Lowsec<>WH or Nullsec

There are few stakeholders that are meaningfull for this transition:
- Casual highsec visitors (they are after the quick buck and we settled them with previous tips)

The other group is:
- Corps/Alliances that became too good for highsec and they want to try the end game (WH/Nullsec). The trial for the endgame should be Lowsec, but how to motivate those group to try first lowsec? Bare with me little more and i it will be a bit more clear.
- Booted Nullsec Alliances/Corps. They should retire into lowsec, reorginize and consolidate. But why would they do that when u literally will have harder time to survive in lowsec than in null? Answer coming soon.
- Entities that like Lowsec mechanics (organized corps, mercenaries, pirates etc.)

- And Militia. But i want talk to much about them. Cos they are now a sec for themselves and are standing pretty good.

The problem is that the Lowsec atm. is like null on steroids (difficulty wise) for entities trying to be self sufficient and survive. The isk is very very poor and not there is not lot going on, not a lot ppl to shoot at.

Whats was the motivation to change the situation. Again the same 3 saviours:

- Exploration: 4,5,6/10 plexes should be more present around lowsec.
- Missions: Lv 4 missions should ve the quality risen at least double to 40.
- Minning: More meaningful gravitometric anomalies. With dense asteroids that can be depleted faster and yield same or even more than normal.
- Lowsec stations sohuld be buffed a bit

And the ultimate motivation, sovereignty?

Highsec should ve the beggining of the ownership with POSs.
Militia has its own sovereignty
WH has its own. U can claim a WH and make it a fortress, almost inpenetrable.
And Null sec that we know all about.

Sow what kind of sovereignty Lowsec needs?
Not the generic, stadardized sov, but fictional. Sov claimed by presence and dominion in an area. But to motivate that dominion we need that area to be a bit more special.

My corp recently moved into a system, attractive one and i think we made our presence noticed. We achieved some kind of dominion because all entities that were around before, are not anymore. Why we choose that system. It has some nice composition of moons, where we settled our pocos. We receive taxes and do our own PI. it is connected with highsec. Which means some more taxes trough PI and camping opportunity. It has 2 lv 4 agents and 1 lv 5. The system is pretty good but is not even close enough. All of our members have alts elsewhere adding helping our mains and corp to be competitive.

So how to make the areas interesting for dominion.
Make them special. Make some constellations or systems have higher spawn rate for 4,5,6/10 plexes. Make some areas awesome for mining industry. Make some places awesome for drug manufacturing and some with awesome agents. Make some stations having even bigger bonuses. Some with lots of WH openings.

That kind of lowsec would be damn attractive. And would make a perfect highway for Nullsec with some motels.

And in my opinion only when that kind of Lowsec is balanced compared to Highsec, u will have easier time to revamp Nullsec and u ll know exaclty what to buff and how to buff.

You saing he joined CFC... oh wait

Will never run, as much as he's been a big help in 2012. Marc Scaurus, former Tusker, WILL be running. And he has my endorsement. He constantly challenged me to do my best for the low sec community, especially those outside of Faction Warfare, and I couldn't imagine a better man to take my place in the coming year. He will have one of my votes.

I don't know Marc, but if he's good enough for Hans, he's good enough for me.

Actually both the solo and small gang pvp is important. But as i see the actually state, we are out of promising lowsec candidates.

I like the step 6 only. Step 5 is meh not bad, but it is like the others to much trouble for CCP. Lowsec needs little things that the code already supports with minimal changes smth like u mentioned in step 6.

Didnt Hans announce that he wouldnt candidate for CSM 8 ?
