There are far too many tears in this thread and they're uncalled for. Life in high sec is safe and easy, if you live by a few basic rules. Let's compare on what you have to do in high sec to have relative safety in comparison to what you have to do in low-null sec.

Survival in high sec:


  • Don't afk in open space.
  • Always keep your active hardeners... active.
  • Pay attention to ships on grid.
  • Stay aligned.


That's it. Now let's see what you must do to survive in low-null sec.

Survival elsewhere:


  • All of the above +
  • Never move without scouting ahead.
  • Make plenty of good safe spots.
  • Keep your eyes peeled on D-scan
  • and on local
  • Watch out for those probes...
  • Don't warp to anything from a celestial.
  • Never warp to zero on most things.


Want to mine safer in high sec? Mine roids in missions or exploration sites. Fly an expensive battleship for L4s? Activate your hardeners the instant you undock/jump. Never use auto pilot. Want to mine a roid someone else is mining without asking? Don't be surprised to get ganked by the same group of miners or their corpies.
