After all you have a certain degree of protection trough gateguns and stationguns. An you dont have to worry about bubbles. Though lowsec is mmore populated then nullsec which is in my opinion really strange.

Got podded as a fairly new character in a Kestral. I didn't know you could avoid LS and just kinda treated it as normal.
I go there occasionally now to rat or mine usually don't see many people. Seems like if you talk to them in local they just leave system for the most part. Last time I got killed in Null was in a bait proc. Could not break the tank of the Drake that jump me when I wasn't paying attention. I had him webbed and scrammed. I blame my 2 year old niece for calling me. I normally ignore phone calls in LS. LS ain't that scary I just dont usually have the time to do much there and I don't go there if I know I will have distractions.

If I had the time to live in LS, I'd be in a WH instead. Being able to play for a half hour to an hour at most kinda limits what I can do.

I always get nervous in highsec these days, so many people in local! and ships at everygate. in low I at least can see the attack comming.

And yes i live in lowsec, and it is faaar from the deathtrap I thought it was for so many years. heck most of the time i go roaming and find no one to shoot, everyone runs away :( usually while saying, nice cyno trap! trololol.

I dont know what they mean...

I never understood all the misguided fear for low-sec. I simply had the thought process of "hey look I can shoot ppl without concord shooting me' Within my first few months of playing I was setting up a POS in a low sec system and got my first kill with a few corpmates. I can still remember the feeling of the adrenaline pumping thru my veins as I activated my warp scrambler on that vexor. What a rush! Now I never leave low...after you learn the ropes it's actually a pretty cool place to live.

I once tried to go out to Providence. Jumped into low or null, no idea. Tried to burn for the gate, podded and in highsec 3 seconds later.

I ended up giving lowsec a try earlier. Ran into a couple people also exploring, managed to not get murdered by an Ishtar/Cheetah pair and a Gnosis also doing sites, mostly by hunches and warping in at 100. Made enough to pay for the Imicus I was flying around 7 times over. Just logged off now after hopping into Great Wildlands and back again. Passed a system with 70 hostiles and another with 90 on the way in. Didn't find any sites, but it was still a thrill. The home journey was uneventful.

So that was my first real trip into lowsec and nullsec. Passed a few bubbles, also fairly sure I managed to avoid a few people at gates with MWD+cloak. Just got my BS for L4 missions, but now I want to abandon that and go out to null and low more. The rush is about 1000 times more fun than "Which hardeners should I fit for this mission." :D

I gotta say, though, the fear I and other newbies feel seems to be mostly based on a lack of knowledge. In the great majority of the systems I passed through, nothing was going on. At all.
