Don't go there.

If you still want to move there a couple hours:

Find 10/15 friends with hard hitting stuff, logis, ECM and watch most of those uber elite crowd disappear and kiss safe spots/POS/stations.
Most of them don't want fights, they want to shoot helpless ships or only attack with superior numbers, this is Eve and this is the only valuable pvp form in the game: numbers

That's just not true. I get attacked on a regular basis while ratting. Solo pilots just out looking for a fight. They run away once they get close enough to understand that my ship is often not a good target, and they seldomly come back with a gang. Just guys out looking for 1v1.

*there are the rat packs and multi boxers with stealth scouts out there. Just have to do a quick google search to spot them though.

Google search while playing a video game? LOL!

If you keep your wits about you, there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of in low sec.
If you can't be arsed to stay alert, however, you will be fair game. This is how it should be.

If you can't handle the suspense, you will never experience the rush of a narrow escape or the joy of landing a tackle at the very end of an overheated point.

It's only the beginning that is a little tricky because you are inexperienced, but if you're not up to the challenge, by all means, stay in high sec.

Sure it is there, but the concept is pretty funny nevertheless Smile

Remove implant loses from pod kills. I hate to clone jump in a low implant clone just to transport some goods or have a peek at low sec to fool around. I am sure there are many players who would like to enter low sec for a few hours, at lower risks, without the inconvenience to change clones. It would also encourage those who don't have a clone too.

I don't mind losing my ship, I always take what I can afford to lose and usually its just an impulse or spur of the moment thing, and not something I plan a whole day to do.

This is so stupid...I can barely believe that you actually are serious...and WHO DAFUQ changes into low implant clones in low sec? Thats the only place where everyone has a use for HQ slaves not using a cap...

Flying in lowsec either for PVP or Indie is simple you just need a half a brain cell to do it right. Lowsec does not need a nerf or a buff. just pilots who are willing to risk their stuff. I know of many INDIE players and corps that live in lowsec. it is.... not.... that.... hard Roll
