so, yeah, you're better off incursion farming

or better yet, in a wormhole where risk/reward isn't completely lopsided and the lack of local is balanced by other mechanics

You seem to be contradicting yourself.

Tell me this James, say you rat in an officer fit Nightmare, where are you safer, Empire running lvl 4's or in Goons home space?

I'm glad you saw fit to illustrate pretty much the ONLY case in which I'm in more danger in empire than in nullsec.

Ok, say you rat in an simple faction fit nightmare, or vindi, or CNR, are you safer in Empire grinding L4's or in Goons home systems?

Yea i guess its been a while since you've tried anything in Empire James, so sorry to say if you faction fit your kit in Empire right now and run missions, within days you'll be dodging catalyst and tornado gangs constantly. If your ship has 500 million in mods on it (pretty easy on a faction fit, 3 CN BCU's will take you over halfway there) then you are not safe at all and will be hounded constantly, so please put down the pipe and lets stop pretending that your cyno jammed 50 bubble on the in gate systems aren't fortified like Mordor and relatively safe compared to the gank squads that roam mission areas.

fun fact maybe you're not aware of this but cynojammers aren't exactly cheap to keep online and they wouldn't do a goddamn thing anyway because everyone's doing blackops drops

One thing that would help is making PvE with a PvP fit a reality. Then if someone is caught, at least they have a chance to fight off the attackers. Right now everyone is forced or opts for a 100% PvE fit to gain the best ISK. And because PvP with a PvE fit is suicide, the very moment a hostile comes in system, the smartest thing to do is to get safe.

as if CCP would ever deliver anything like that in a single package as opposed to driving 0.0 off a cliff and spending the next 10 expansions making **** easier for braindead morons in hisec before they even discuss further iterations on nullsec

who would have thought that if 13,000 people had ratting rights to a region, that region would be high in NPC kills

ridiculous!
