If you can find a low sec location that is also within 1 jump of high-sec (and there are a lot) then you will be able to easy move the goodies you acquire in null into high sec by jumping from POS directly to the hi-sec gate. This minimise risk & the whole experience has been about minimising risk & cost.

On the subject of making friends we hope to establish some contact with the locals & eventually look to working with them for a common goal of mutual interest & support.

If we can hold out until the patch becomes live defensive issues will become much easier with the nerf to super caps, particularly as we have a number of HIC & cap ship pilots ready to come to our aid which is a step we would rather not take.


I had a réponse, but the forums ate it. I'll redo the quick version:

Supers, diplomacy, and flying below radar are tough. Picking a non-critical moon in and out of the way area and setting up discretely seems reasonable. While your method of cynoing to lowsec/highsec gates with a JF isn't the safe formula I've learned, if it works for you, power to you.

Again, as you're taking pains to keep anonymity, I can't specifically comment regarding neighbors, but in general, reasons for eviction will be economic, strategic, or a more basic desire for conflict.

Good luck to you.


Thanks for this. is all good fun.

Good luck, don't worry about most of the other ass hats posting in here. Trolls will be trolls. I came from a relatively small wh corp to TEST and I can tell you it was kind of a culture shock. Just part of the adventure though.

NPC 0.0 is better than no 0.0.
I know a few players with years and tons of SP stacked up that still don't grasp the concept of 0.0. Let alone what is required for taking and holding SOV. I suspect there's a good bunch here in your responses and a good portion will probably hate on you for it..

No need to posting on a main or alt to figure that one out..

Just to report that we had great success in null & we learnt a lot from the experience.

We waited until after the crucible patch and removed the POS. Our experience as a corporation was so enhanced that we were invited to join an alliance that holds sov in fountain and have been with them for the last 2 weeks.Big smile

Any corp who wants to get into null this has been a great way to gain experience & grow.

Thanks for sharing your experience with moving to 0.0.

My corp had a POS in a low-sec system for about 6 months until we had to take it down because of member inactivity. It was also a nice experience for us although the profitability wasn't a lot higher than high sec. But we had a lot of fun there. We ran some of the anomalies, other explorations sites, "invaded" wormhole space or tried to "catch" some pirates.
It was a low-sec system directly connected to high sec so we were able to just come and go as we liked it and our POS was a nice base of operations. Also extracted some moon minerals with it and researched our BPOs.

We got a lot of experience about PvP, expecially how pirates are working, and a good bit about diplomacy and politics with other local players and corporations. Even so we had some problems with an alliance trying to "claim" the system it was a lot of fun.


Even if your corp isn't that active or you are just a bunch of friends, a low sec POS might be a good start, too. You will be thankful for every lesson you learn on your journey into the dark corners of EVE Cool


If my corp gets (hopefully) some more activity or some other like-minded corporations are found for a small alliance, I will consider to take the next step into NPC 0.0. But I fear that is a bit further down the road at the moment.


@Erica Snotty: Good luck to you, nice you could take the next step. I would like some updates in the future how you are doing in the "real" 0.0.
