Maybe bother to ask others? 🤔

Like this fella:

My character is -9.9 sec status and obviously parked in low sec. I need to get that up while I try to relearn the game. What is a relatively quick way to do so? What other important things do I need to know about the game now?

The very first reply informs him of the triglavians among other things:

> What do you mean with ‘broken’, as that description is both used as ‘overpowered/way too strong’ and as ‘bugged/does not work’. Drones and missiles are working fine and are good weapon choices with up and downsides, just like the other weapon systems. You do not ‘need’ to get your security standings up. I mean, you can choose to do so but for many playstyles your security standings don’t matter. I live in null sec and security standings do very little for me, yet I have them at near maximum…

> new factions: triglavians and edencom npcs will shoot you unless you have positive standings to them. They roam mainly high sec. You start with negative standings towards trigs.

This comes to mind:

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
