I’ve read up enough to know the real money is in lowsec (or wh/null if you have good access), but for now I just want to try it out and figure it out in highsec… except every highsec place I look at has really, really high taxes. And, maddeningly, there doesn’t seem to be any way to search for a lower rate except by manually flying everywhere Can anyone recommend some places with tax rates that aren’t highway robbery? Thank you ---

Take the pocos for yourself and put your own corp to 0% tax. Or reach out to the owner of the pocos and find out if he is willing to drop the tax on them for you. ---

I don’t think I can expect to have a ship that could kill one for a few months at least… ---

The lowest possible tax rate in highsec is 10% You can try to put your own down but many pocos are owned by highsec merc corps and will generate a response when you shoot at them. Best bet is to join a lowsec/nullsec corp as they usually charge lower tax, or none at all. ---

Well, thanks for giving the most realistic response… not sure why people here seem to assume a newbie can fight a war against well-provisioned enemies by herself. But, since you can only be in one corp, guess that route has to stay closed unless it comes time to move on. ---

> Can anyone recommend some places with tax rates that aren’t highway robbery? I believe Hagilur 0.4 (only 9 jumps from Jita) has 5.0% tax for NPC custom offices. However gatecamps on the way there are quite frequent. Any good for you? ---

Also a problem: You have to be able to defend the structure as soon as you own one. But to be honest, I also assume a Newby is not supposed to become a PI magnate without knowing how to handle the risks. So I second the advice to get into a corp where you get much better rates, protection, and where you can learn a lot about all aspects of the business. ---
