I have been here for a while now. I am a miner. I owned a station – excuse me a structure – that was destroyed last year. I don’t complain about PvP, I posted the “This is why Eve can’t have good things here” topic, but that was not me crying about the loss of property. Although many of the posts that followed claimed as such, and went as far as misquoting me. It was put there as a warning to new players, you won’t keep your stuff in this game. No matter how it is named or unwritten rules of conduct, nothing is safe.
I don’t know why the developers think this Exordium will make the game different. I don’t see this as a game changer at all. To my understanding the new people will not have to exit through the same systems as everyone else does. Since this is meant for new players and not veterans, I don’t need to be there unless I plan on gifting mining ships in that system. At this point I am not sure they allow trade there or not.
In your country where you live, do you have those psychic police, like in Minority Report? I don’t know of any police force on Earth that can predict a murder and show up before it happens. There would not be anyone to arrest, since it didn’t happen yet. Maybe you live in a despotic nation where they can bust you on suspicious behavior. Damn, I would hate to be told, I was mining suspiciously and get arrested for it.
As for Uedama, I think that is not “Ganker Central”, Ahbazon, Rancer, the list of hot spots is endless. The only time I got ganked there, I was hauling a lot of junk. My advice to new players, be bold and conquer you fear of low sec, before it conquers you. Never expect to own nice things here, it is all very temporary.
