Thanks, but I'll pass.

Also, flaunting a L3 distribution agent... *chuckles*

Indeed. Inesmir Jimud, our hearts still go out to you!


Typical risk averse carebear attitude.


I am not a "risk averse carebear". I have flown solo/small group of friends in low sec / NPC null / Sov null poaching for years.

When these changes were announced I figured I would diversify my investments with a couple million in SOE LP.
I looked into available agents and determined that Aeshee would be the best place to earn LP.
It was great, I had two fleets blitzing L4s, and was racking up LP like it was crazy, but it takes a lot of overhead to mission in low sec.
1) You can't fly high sec fits. You loose a bit of dps and/or tank compared to high sec fits
2) You have to pay a lot more attention. No more afking while you play with the dogs/make a sandwich / watch TV
3) Some systems are plain of limits for missioning in (if they have scanners up and running).

After the .5 High sec systems opened up, I could make more LP/Hour with less effort moving to high sec.
On top of that, CCP devalued the LP that I had already earned because they increased the LP/hour for high sec missioners.

CCP ruined a great low sec hub with this change. Why? They could have added L4 agents in .7 -> .9 systems but they choose to add the agents to .5 systems and remove any advantage to missioning in low sec.

CCP should be encouraging people to move out to low sec. Not encouraging them to move from low sec to high sec.

The reason is simple. Servers can't handle only one SOE hi sec agent. Not with these new ships around in that lp shop. Its not the first time agents are moved / changed because of server load. Low sec is for blitzing Lev 5 anyway.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.
