  2. When it comes to advanced gameplay where you will buy ships, etc.. You'll find you can do you game play in LS, but will shop in HS.

  4. I spent many days, countless hours in lowsec and doesn't matter where I went – Derelik, Aridia, Genesis, Sinq Laison, I would always see people roaming and patrolling it over time, not to mention gatecamps working 18-24 hours a day in every entrance or ,,choke'' system. I cant imagine how anyone, except few chosen coalitions that have numerous pilots able to defend such systems could visit LS, not to mention living in there. Hiding from pirate squads every 4-5 minutes is much more exhausting than having to run missions in HS. Lowsec looks like kind of a wasteland where every fish is hunted by 10-15 sharks that made hunting in LS their 2nd job and unless this fish is in swarm or has decent teeth, it has no chance to survive on a long term. It's sad people made it this way, but I'm affraid the only truly viable option for solo player is highsec and even then you have to be aware of popular places like trade hubs, mission hubs or systems like Uedama/Esescama/Odin.

    However, maybe there is a miracle system that is rather calm and doesnt have 24/7 camps like 95% of LS. Trying to live on my own with my own resources and my own medium-cheap ships could technically be possible, but it propably requires much effort and months of pvp-evading skills training.

  5. Great video.
    I have been considering moving to low sec. Currently on the edge in high sec.
    My next purchase was either the Blockade Runner or Deep Space Transporter.
    I will start looking at nearby low sec systems for a quiet spot.

  6. +10kk drops from a rat
    – people gonna kill you
    – gate campers

    dont fly what you cant loose

  7. CCP desided to take most isk making things from High Sec to low tring to get people to move out for more fits….LOL CCP npt to bright hat they got was alot of people quiting Eve.Should look at the kill boards other than big wars in null most kills are in high sec.

  9. Well… in high sec, you have those red ships that are lurking near some asteroid belts. I don't know who they are other than Serpentis ships, but they attack you and you have to stop mining or you're toast. There's also "Serpentis Burrows" and other Serpentis locations that pop up and if you're too close, they wipe you out fast.
    THAT is the danger in High Sec and you're saying it is more dangerous in Low Sec and Null Sec?
    I just wanted to know what defines Low Sec and how to get there (or mainly, how to avoid accidentally go there somehow). Yes, I am new to this game – I cannot stand playing with other people – I get it, there are those who like the mic and talking to others and joining fleets and stuff, but I thought this game was "whatever you make of it" and can be a solo player… a month into this game and I am learning nothing about what defines high, low and null sec and what wormholes do (I THOUGHT wormholes are what you jump through when you jump, but I guess not).
    I'd say the worst thing about EVE is there are no instructions – other than some VERY basic career agents in the beginning.

  11. You mention "bubble" or "warp bubble"… I came to this video from searching for "What is Low Sec and how do I get there" (I will be looking for the same information on Null Sec and how do I get to Null Sec)
    Nothing in the game explains any of this, so I am trying to learn via YouTube and Google information, but everyone assumes there are not new players to this game and everyone knows what "0.4" means.
    For several days I have been watching 3-4+ year old videos that are the newest videos about Eve. It's 2021 and I am learning nothing from these tutorials :/

  12. Let peace be with you all.
    I came in to LowSecSys and at first was frustrating a little bit (i am pacifist).
    But with just corvette i gained a lot of loot.
    LowSecSys where i started to be in last days is 2 gates system.
    First what attracted me when i was there is loot from ships.
    One gate is heavily trapped and other is trapped in intervals but not so heavy and often it is clear.
    It is system several jumps from Jita so i figured i can try some looting.
    I don't like having suspect icon because technically i am stealing but in this case from pirates.
    But originally i end up here because i left amarr shuttle which someone left in the beginnings of game and i took it and left in station.
    Now list of stations become to pile up so i wanted just to grab that shuttle and come back to HiSecSys where i usually am.
    There were so many ship wrecks with loot in them so i made home base there and made jump points near gate (from 150km away to more) so i can jump near site and scout what will i loot.
    After few starter loot attempts i start to watch how they operate and when they make pause (dock in station or be outside of station but far away from gates).
    Of course they podded me and destroy pod often but few attempts to loot went successful :-).
    Since it is LowSecSys most of players have cloaking devices and they are not cheap (at least to me).
    Mainly i targeted to scoop bodies but after that (since i am scavenger , miner , collector) i went for loot and when they make pause i salvaged wrecks.
    When pirates are very active i decided to mine or do circle through asteroid belts to take out hostiles (only npc) because there is also pause when no one passing through system :-).
    After just a 2-3 days (i swapped day and night with 24 h or more awake cycles) i hauled last day/night 27 Mil ISK worth goods (4 prototype cloaking and 2 advanced cloaking devices).
    I left many modules since i will use them in mining or hostile npc clearing for ship equipping.
    After initial presentation of myself to pirates (they noticed i am warping in and out , hahaha) they several times just let me scoop loot or i manage to warp away before they could destroy ship i am managing.
    Also i came to idea to contract back loot players lost in system (did some screenshots and pasted in paint to know which is from whom).
    In between jumps and "empty" play game time i play Project Discovery hahaha.
    ~20 Mil ISK per day is not for throw away.
    Also met some players on both sides (friendly/pirate/hostile).
    AFK is not an option in LowSecSys.
    Went to bathroom for 5 min once and NPC spawned and took out the Venture.
    My mistake (didn't brought drones which i trained to take out frigates and destroyers and when i am present even cruisers).
    HiSecSys is ok but LowSecSys will push you to use tactic , pay attention , have experience in dangers , and become more normalized with dangers in eve online.
    Let peace stays with you all.

  13. 0.3 & 0.4 sec has been terrible so far. SCANNING: Gas Site, Combat Site, Wormhole, Wormhole, Combat Site, Gas Site. Wormhole, Wormhole, Wormhole, Gas Site, Combat Site, OH LOOK A DATA SITE, YES! I GOT 1.2 MILLION!!…. Gas Site, Combat Site, Wormhole, Wormhole, Combat Site, Gas Site. Wormhole, Wormhole, Wormhole, Gas Site, Combat Site, Combat Site, Gas Site, Wormhole, Wormhole, WORMHOLE, WORMHOLE, WORMHOLE, …………… OH LOOK A RELIC SITE, OH BUT ANOTHER PLAYER BEAT ME TO IT, AWW MAYBE I"LL GET THE NEXT ONE……… 938948394 Wormholes, Gas Sites & Combat sites later… OH LOOK I FOUND ANOTHER DATA SITE. IT DROPPED 3.8 MILLION ISK IN LOOT, IT ONLY TOOK ME 2 HOURS TO FIND IT. YAY 4 mil ISK in 2 hours, that's totally worth it, I LOVE LOW SEC!

  16. Me: This magnate fit is expensive so im not going to null sec, all the bad stuff is in high sec, so i guess low sec?
    Me: Starts scanning for sites
    Random guy: Death > You
    Me: Why

  23. I find the idea that lowsec is 'safer' than low is hilarious. Lowsec is a place where you'll get dropped by supers for daring to fly something cruiser or bigger. Mining is a near-impossibility because you can't bring boosts on field, which cuts your yield in nearly half, and you get almost no reward for all your risk, unlike null, where you get ALL the reward, and have less risk than highsec…
