Security Levels

[drifting kite]

High Sec:
High security systems is the safest security level as it is secured by concord which prevents PvP [Player vs Player] combat. In high sec systems, concord prevents you from locking other players' ships. The only way you can lose your ship is to NPCs in PvE [Player vs Enemy] content but you are safe from other players.

It is the ideal place for new players to play the game as they learn how to play. It is strictly advised to new players to not go into low security because of the dangers which lie within them

High sec ranges from 1.0 to 0.5 security levels and is indicated with cyan and green colours

Low Sec:
Low security systems are less secure than high security systems. Concord only exists to a certain point in these systems. You can only find concord forces at stargates or stations which means that you can engage in PvP [Player vs Player] combat in other parts of the system like Cosmic anomalies, Mining belts, etc.

Low sec ranges from 0.4 to 0.1 security levels and is indicated with yellow and orange colours

Null Sec:
Null security systems are lawless spaces where concord is not present which means you can get attacked by players anywhere in the system including stargates and outside stations. The only safe place in null sec is being docked in a NPC station

It is strong not recommended for new players to be in null security systems as you will become an easy target for more advanced players

Null sec ranges from 0.0 to -1.0 security levels and is indicated with red

Low Sec Details:
When you engage in combat in low sec, you get a crime timer which lasts for 5 minutes and if you manage to destroy another player’s ship, you get a timer which lasts for 10 minutes and if you approach or go near concord forces within the said crime timer, your ship will get shot down.

There is also another type of timer called the weapons timer which you will get when you try to defend yourself from a player who is attacking you, you do not get shot down by concord forces but you wont be able to dock is stations or jump using stargates within this timer

Isk Generation:
High sec gives the least amount of isk [comparative to the other security levels] while ratting as the NPCs have low bounties and the ore mined have low value but it is the best region for new players to play as its the safest

Low sec gives better isk than high sec but keep in mind that you can get attacked by other players while mining or ratting.

Null sec offers the best isk available, you can find valuable ore and bigger bounties while ratting. Many corporations and alliances find a home in null sec due to these rich resources
