Corp mates can assist you unless they completely change the system.
When undocking you should have no issues warping before someone can kill you. |

Stop being thick headed. You should have scouted/escorted yourself into low sec. Fun fact - outlaws and pirates have the SAME exact dangers that you do when crossing low sec gates (ie we can get BBQ'd by other pirates). We don't even get gate suns to help us.

I'm still puzzled as to how you think that will benefit your gameplay. People that don't want to shoot you, wont shoot you. The only benefit would be that you can shop in high sec without the hassle of moving your BS back to low sec.
The motive for your change seems to be your own laziness. You did admit you cba to sec up
Laziness motive reinforced by Po3tank (and please tell me how you scramble a pod without using a dictor bubble, to get the bounty)
Well, as a player with no sec rating issues, I still support the idea. Simply because I'd like to see players themselves handling the job the NPCs are doing for them atm. It might have been necessary back when the EVE universe was sparsely populated, but nowadays the only excuse for having NPCs protect highsec is the laziness of the real players.  |

Do you know game mechanics? Outlaws cannot receive assistance without their friends getting concorded. You attack me - I'm on my own. if my friend jams you or reps me - concord destroys him. As for noobs - hmmm maybe they'll learn a lot more from that fight than they ever would in the security of high sec? This would increase fights! Why is that BAD?! |

well you know not everyone wants to run 2 accounts just to move about the galaxy. After all, If i need a second account to scout the lowsec gate, surely as a crim you should have a second "fixer" account to do your hisec work for you, thus negating your need to come into empire as a crim. |

i see no need to change the current mechanic.
there is a price you pay for certain carier decisions in eve.
in your case, the price is a couple of days in sec status grinding. Which, while being pretty boring, really isnt that much of a burdon, and that many players before you had to go through aswell.
in addition, there really is no applyable role-playing logic as to why faction police would not shoot outlaws. its their job, its what they are there for. |

Probably true they cant get help, but how would noobs learn anything from seeing their ship disapear in seconds besides that they shouldnt attack reds? It is bad because you got to accept the consequences of your sec status, if you pirate, you cant enter high sec anymore, get over it. |

Holy crap dude. Park your ship at a high sec station. Grab a shuttle - covops - blockade runner - recon. Go to low sec. Look around - no one at gate. Use your scanner (if you know how to use it). Hmm is it clear or not? If not - you saved yoru expensive ship. If its clear - hurry up and move! You just drastically cut yoru losses at low sec gate camps. I've done it myself countless times. Tip of the iceberg in escaping a low-sec gate camp. |

That roughly increases your travel time by a factor 5 at least, it isnt realistic to do that at every gate |

It is bad because you got to accept the consequences of your sec status, if you pirate, you cant enter high sec anymore, get over it.
You mean like: - Everyone has kill rights on me - so they can freely attack as they like? - Everyone can POD me without consequences? Get that juicy bounty without sec status concerns. - My corpmates can do absolutely NOTHING to help me? - If I commit a crime in high sec I get bbqed by Concord with no insurance. So again I'm dealing with the consequences already! |

The view of a Empire gutter rat -> them Ebil -10's are just killmail *****s, serve no goal and are out to ruin my playstyle.
The view of a Ebil -10 -> Them stupid empire gutter rats, won't fight, they won't change nor will they ever move out of high-sec.
These views are almost written in stone, it's like a tigers hunting rabbits, they can't mingle, can't live together nor can they "get along"

Look up travel fit. I move BS through low sec/hostile space by myself all the time. You can get by. No comparison to high sec and getting a 'dose of my own medicine'....  |

Now accept ALL the consequences, you cant move stuff in high sec, be happy you can go through high sec. And i dont use travel fit because i only go to low sec to shoot stuff |

Your choice to be a pirate, accept the consequences.
I don't think I said I don't accept the consequences. I'm trying to add more variety to the game.
Do you wet yourself a little when someone goes flashy on your overview? Why would you feel so threatened by this change when you'd still have your precious concord there to save you from unwanted aggression?
Let's say it like this(thread winner inc); If we allow pirates to high-sec freely, does this mean that we can go to 0.0 and be "invurnerable" to attacks?  |

Mr. Odinssen was on the track, but his formulation was a bit wrong. The biggest inconvenience and the reason why the NPC police needs to hunt you down is to make logistics for your lawless character horrible. Of course you can use an alt for the minor shopping but ship purchases will always be an annoyance. Also, there are plenty of "dead end" low sec systems where a single 0.5 system is preventing the outlaw to pass between one low sec system to another. This is intentional. By having lawless characters movement limited to low sec space when they are a potential threat (in a ship) they are easier to track down and catch for those that wish to do so (in theory). |

I have no desire to increase my sec status. I can get by high sec just fine. I can get items and mods in high sec just fine. I'm not doing this to be able to TRAVEL in high sec - I want to get FIGHTS in high sec. I deal with the outlaw consequences already. My opponents can freely shoot me/pod me, my corpmates get GCC for helping me in anyway, I NEVER get sentry gun assistance... etc.
You guys haven't given me 1 good reason why this shouldn't be implemented!
1 good reason: nullsec is for player driven politics and self government lowsec is for criminals to do WTF they like hisec is for law abiding citizens to wish to live under the rule of law. Everyone has their space to be happy. Your argument: I want my cake and to eat it. its not enough that i can get fights freely, without consequence in the entire of lowsec, and nullsec i now want to go and invade hisec where people stay because god forbid, they might want to do something other than fight that day (and you see enough nullsec players in empire going about their biz to prove its not just carebears) and fight them. Well im sure there is plenty of players in Empire who would love to go to Lowsec and farm the more valuable resources, trade routes, missions without fear of pirate ganking but they can't, because thats your turf, and you wants your cake and eats it. |
