Next expansion should include pirate stations in lowsec

There are systems in highsec and lowsec that do not have stations in them as is currently.

I propose that CCP add in pirate stations to some of these lowsec areas so that players can run missions for these factions without the tedium of the gank blockades of nullsec pipes.

This is long overdue CCP, lowsec is functionally lawless space. There is no navy presence. I see no reason to not have pirate NPC stations in these otherwise empty systems. No reason at all, except perhaps because nullsec blocs want to monopolise on HG pirate implants.

This change will improve the economy by supplying goods at lower LP/isk costs than highsec. There will be more concentrations of players in lowsec due to these mission hubs. There will be more pressure concentrated in lowsec and less in highsec and more competition with nullsec.

And perhaps most importantly there will be more pressure on you, CCP, to fix lowsec properly as a result of there being more people using it.
