Yes, but most of those won’t kill you in Hisec.

diamond rats came before trigs… and unless its a FOB, diamond rats won’t touch new players because standings…

you got jove, aka autothysian lancers that will kill new players if they attack them… trigs won’t attack new players anymore, much less any player that has neutral standings to them.

hisec has had its fair share of PVE add-ons, buffs, whatever you wanna call them, with the abyssals and etc… I’ve said it before, and CCP has said it before… they want to work on the missions, they do, but its so tangled up in the old code, doing other things takes priority

And let’s not forget my personal favorite, a Sansha Incursion starting in my system right in the middle of mining…

Yeah, I’m thinking… no.

I do fine in high-sec from an ISK standpoint, so I’m not complaining. The only downside is once you reach a certain point you have less high-sec toys to spend it on (nothing really beyond battleships and skill injectors).

I’d just like some new content, variety and challenges. That’s all.

Go get your standings up with Mordu’s Legion and do their missions. That’s an entirely different experience in mission running.

my standings with them are better than caldari lol… and i only run caldari missions.

157

Might be something to try out.

You do not have to kill diamond rats to be attacked by them.
New players will be low standing to pirates because that is who they are attacking in belt ratting.
You cannot call abyssals a buff to Hisec when they are done everywhere, and you go flashy yellow for doing them in 1.0 and 0.9 systems.
Also the “old code” has never stopped them from nerfing them.

Very true (especially your last point), lol. Although lately the ‘nerf’ has come in the form of item availability in the LP store for high-sec corporations.

161

Well they are nerfing highsec ganking every year. Which is essentially a buff to anything else being done in highsec so… :wink:

Not true - Void ammo got a huge buff recently.

163

I didn’t notice. Can you link the details?

164

Yes, I just need to find the update (might take a bit)…

165

This was from November 8 of 2022:

Exequror Navy Issue

  • Increased the Powergrid by 200 MW, from 830 MW to 1030 MW.
  • Increased maximum velocity by 25 m/sec, from 255 m/sec to 280 m/sec
  • Reduced Number of Turret Slots by 1, from 5 to 4.
  • Removed Medium Hybrid Turret Rate of Fire bonus.

Updated Gallente Cruiser bonuses per level:

  • Increased Medium Hybrid Turret damage by 20% per level, from 5% to 25% per level.
  • Add additional Bonus: 10% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret falloff.
  • Add additional Bonus: 15% reduction in Armor Plate mass penalty.

…

This was from May 19 of 2020:

  • Increased damage of Void, Conflagration, Hail, and Rage ammunition (Small, Medium, Large and X-Large) by 15%

So not “recent-recent”, but these changes both buffed ganking quite a bit.

166

A previous buff to HS was the addition of repair service in all stations.
I don’t think they were added outside HS ?

167

They already nerfed ENI :wink:

2020 I didn’t play, I came back two yars ago, but afaik it wasn’t really a buff, but a revert

btw tech2 projectile ammo is stilll useless, all gankers uses t1 faction ammo instead for ganking

168

I don’t know when this was exactly. I know they rolled out free repair services with the introduction of structures, though.

169

Yes, well - for a good while it was still running amok (and is still a favorite among gankers). And every ganker I’ve run into uses Void ammunition…
