Lowsec is something I’ve always wanted to properly try. I like the idea of FW and the tribalism that it can contain. Just not ready to tank my empire standings. Maybe one day… ---

Are there large organized fleet battles when one militia is making a push? I remember hearing a lot about Biohazard(?) or Winmatar(?) back in the day and a lot of neat sounding large-scale brawling. Is this still a thing? ---

I remember hearing a lot about Biohazard(?) or Winmatar(?) back in the day and a lot of neat sounding large-scale brawling. Is this still a thing? Look at the kills in Floseswin for the last three months. Fighting every day. Solo, small gang and big fleets. FW is very much alive. Piracy is alive. You’ll get to know your enemy very well and kill them a lot. If you don’t know what low sec is for…you not playing EvE properly. High sec is for rock poppers…poor buggers ---

If you are enlisted in a militia, you will not get standings penalties of shooting pilots in opposing militias. You only get a standings hit when you pod someone. ---

Lowsec was good for piracy, when it mattered. Then it died. ---

> [@Insidious\_Sainthood](#): > > What is low sec for? What is high sec for? What is null sec for? What are wormhole systems for? Low sec is ultimately for the same purpose. From a lore perspective, low sec is a band of the security spectrum between high(er) security space, where empire laws are actively enforced, and null security space, where the empires can only really apply “soft” power. It is the buffer, the border, the twilight between two kinds of order, and in so being, it is an order all it’s own. From a gameplay perspective, low sec is a set of environmental conditions that put the aggressor on more equal footing than high sec and the defender on more equal footing than null. You could consider NPC null a midway between full blown sovereign null and low sec, and high sec and w-space would be the extremes. You might even put faction warfare low sec between high sec and standard low sec. starter systems \> high sec \> fw low sec \> low sec \> NPC null \> sovereign null \> w-space What are they for? I dunno . . . ---
