Why do you care about kill rights?
You either want pvp or you dont.

Kill rights, standings should not even come into it.

If you are on a gate/station - just make sure your fit can tank gate guns for a min and you are set.

Most low sec pvp occurs on/in FW plexes and even a few fights over orbital bombardment beacons lately which has been great.

Also - Dropping to -5.0 or lower sec status is when eve becomes fun.
Look at is a goal to get there as fast as possible without resorting to high sec ganks. (which are not pvp)

Killrights give your opponents a considerable advantage - the freedom to fire first without incurring gate gun fire (in lowsec), and the freedom to call in backup (in legal highsec combat situations).

Most of all it lets them initiate combat in agile ships like interceptors, dramatically increasing the number of strategies you need to be able to counter.

Whenever I fly around, I am very, very conscious of what the cheapest public killright on me costs. Currently it's 5m, which means I need to take precautions everywhere that I'd otherwise only take in WH or null.

As for that "high sec ganks are not PVP" - I will treat that comment with the contempt it deserves. e-honor is not a part of EVE, a game all about turning skill into advantages on the battlefield, where deception and surprise are as much a part of skill as manual ship control, range dictation and target selection.

The other posters have already explained the technical part, but you can just basically tell your fleet to set security to orange (and not red), and they won't be able to pod even if they want to.



Yellow (or even green) safety does not stop lawful aggression against pods.
.


If it's lawful, what's the problem? They're worried about repercussions, not the ethical implications of podding.

If podding's allowed by the orange/green safety, it's practically consensual and therefore practically a form of euthanasia.

Yea pods are my weakness... If it just sits there I can't just ignore it.
