This already exists. They’re called “Rookie Systems”. Ganking is expressly prohibited in this systems. Mining income is commensurate with the risk. ---

Not that it matters for the purposes of this thread, mind you, but ganking is allowed everywhere, in rookie systems too.

What really goes against the true mining corps are the afk mining Orcas that are out there with their drones. Having a gank free space requires the pilot to be at the keyboard to respond to just about any danger. It is then they can have a gank free mining space that meets the risk they are willing to take. ---

In other words remain code compliant by not mining afk. If all miners had your attitude CODE would have never existed. ---

There are several zones like that already. Usually small hs pockets behind lowsec. CODE. is too scared to fly through lowsec so you won’t get ganked by them there. Although some real ganker might still find you and kill you. But it will be really rare, now when I don’t do this anymore. As long as you don’t bling your ships and pods losing one or maybe two hulks or macks in such zone is not big deal. ---
