I am playing in a high sec corporation and I dont find it especially funny. There is nothing it has to offer. Mining fleets and mission fleets. All with zero risk. And I dont need to mention the rewards.
I have talked to some people about moving to nullsec.
What is it really like to live in nullsec or low sec? What are the biggest differences?
Asking what it’s like to live in lowsec and nullsec is a bit like asking what it’s like to live in Detroit and Somalia. Both are dangerous, but they aren’t really comparable.
Lowsec = inner city Memphis, Oakland, Detroit, Baltimore, etc.
NPC nullsec = Somalia
Sov nullsec = a gated community with armed militia… in the middle of Somalia.
Okay.
You understood everything excep my question.
i come from high sec.
If you have a hard time explaining a difference between them. Let me rephrase the question:
What is it like to live in lowsec?
What is it like to live in nullsec?
I dont think your associations with states and countries is correct.
Nice attitude. Now you can go find out why they invented Google.
You started with an attitide.
A brand new player asks about the differences of parts of the universe and he gets told one is like Detroit and one is like Somalia.
Try Google it.
It depends a lot on what you want to do in the space where you live.
Basically they’re all a lot more dangerous space, the difference is in low sec you lose sec status when attacking other players. In null sec and wormholes you don’t. – Don’t forget about the existence of wormhole space. And when your sec status drops too low you will be attacked by empire NPC forces when entering high sec. Nullsec and wormholes are basically claimed space by other players (wormholes technically aren’t, but in practice they are). Sov null is pretty much like high sec, but there are certain tricks and information you have to know to successfully get around in there (paying attention to intel channels, for example).
One of the main things to figure out when living in null/low or wormhole space is to understand how you’re gonna supply yourself. Usually you still need a connection to high sec trade hubs, because it’s not viable to depend 100% on local markets/corp supplies there. So you either need to travel yourself or work it out on your alts, but that’s one of the aspects that needs to be solved. In wormholes it tends to be easier, in my opinion, because you’re always max 5j out from K space.
There are a lot of differences. Too many for me to post here. Eve Uni has articles up on it. And the best way to find out is to find some interesting nullsec/lowsec/wh corp and join them.
Hatch described it perfectly.
If you’re in lowsec, everyone that sees you will try to kill you, but it’s easier to get around.
If you’re in nullsec where the sovereignty is owned by a NPC group, everything that sees you will drop a bubble on you and 50 guys will hotdrop on top of you.
If you’re in nullsec where the sovereignty is owned by players, everything that isn’t blue will drop a bubble on you and 50 guys will hotdrop on top of you.
In between these events you’ll be able to make ISK.
So high sec you have CONCORD that will punish someone for breaking the law. In all areas of space someone can attack you and force you to lose your ship. In hi sec that person will get concordokken. In low and null not. Also in high and low, if your standings are bad to the empire of the space you’re in, their police will chase you.
If your security status is bad in high, you’ll be chased.
None of that happens in null. But the previous posters are correct in their statements
In LowSec you will get instalockgatecamped, baited and hotdropped to death by some 1337 BlackOps “Content generator” (Content being: you).
In Nullsec you will get dragbubblegatecamped, baited and hotdropped by a bored 100 man standing fleet including 12 Titans and then flamed in local how fast your Ibis died (Insider).
Living in sov null sec is fun!
There’s content most of the day and when it’s quiet people can make ISK mining or killing NPCs for bounties. Or explore, but that can be done even if a roaming band of baddies is camping the system nextdoor.
If you enjoy fleet fights and/or using your wits to stay alive in a hostile environment without relying on the threat of CONCORD to deter would-be attackers, null sec is fun.
And you really must like to pay fees, taxes or rent and love it to be a grunt taking orders like what you can do, what you can’t do, where you can rat or mine and how often you have to fight and what ships you have to use.
You may be thinking of other groups perhaps?
Pick the right null sec group!
In mine there are no rules about where I can go rat or mine, no rules about how often I need to fight.
I just show up to fight in fleets whenever I feel like it or think the alliance needs it, which keeps things fun. Fun and real life have prio in my group.
Only taxes and fleet doctrines are correct, but the latter are incredibly useful to ensure the fleet is effective and that when I remote-repair someone in my armor repairing ship they are flying an armor fit, not shield.
And taxes are negligible yet pay for a lot of convenience of structures to live in as well as SRP to replace lost ships.
Low Sec is mostly pirating as it is called because Low Sec cannot truly be held like Sov. Null is a lot safer and more profitable to mine and rat the belts in as are the combat sites. Then there are the ESS systems. To enjoy Null the best without having to use a cloak and wake on a T3 Strat, simply fit up a beast of a Vexor, grab some filaments that you can use to jump from High to Null, then from Null to Triglavian space and then back into normal space.
Needlejack filaments transport pilots to randomly-chosen parts of nullsec space (“Noise” filaments) or randomly-chosen parts of nullsec space with high capsuleer activity (“Signal” filaments).
Null Sec Empires are rather easy to get along with. Don’t attack their ships, clean up after your ratting and make certain to warp around for 15 minutes, if people are in local until the timer expires, then use another Null to Null or Null to Trig space filament to jump to a new Null location or jump into Trig space and then home.

I tell you my experiences as a 1 year old player who only skilled mining skills at that time as that was what my corp told me and what happened when we moved to null.
Same old boring mining fleets 24/7 a day unless we got neut. Then we all docked and couldn’t play until he left local. That was npc null so that happened quite often.
If I wanted to do something else than mining then the anomalies and combat signatures were too hard for me as a new player. Those requires much better ships and skills. Replacing a ship was painful experience in null, not everything can be manufactured and even if you can manufacture full fit as a new player you don’t have skills for full t2 ships. And full t1 is nonsense. The best I could do was belt ratting, but null is actually worse for that than lowsec where you can hunt Clone Soldier npcs. Missions either doesn’t exists at alll (sov nul) or are very scarce and for pirate faction. Back then it didn’t have a sense maybe that changed now. So basically there was no content.
Low is very similar but more dangerous, but more and easier content.
Eitherway the need to dock anytime someone entered the system is just too annoying and I left that corp and stayed in highsec best sec.
Your fear of content and lack of ability to do anything else shouldn’t be used as a standard. Of course you’re going to be bored anywhere in EvE if you’ve never grown a pair.
Be a solo roamer in Null for a while after breaking up from your Straightjacket corp.
You won’t look back. You’ll stay out.
Look that is how that corporation I started in with operated. I wanted something more, but I had no skills to do that in nullsec. OP is 16 day old character. Unless he is posting from a forum alt, then he won’t be able to do anything else than mining in low or null. That is a fact.
He should finish Career missions, then all AIR challenges and then he should do PVE missions in high to get an impression what this game is about and to get some experiences. I wouldn’t recommend leaving hs without 5M SP at all. And for null that might be still too low. Unless of course all you want to do is mining, but then that is the same in HS so why move to null?
