Ratting in Null Sec

So, you shot someone in high sec. Don't worry, accidents hap...

Oh. oh you MEANT to shoot him. Ok, I can respect that. Murder is fun and all.

....they didn't attack you first?

...they were in a POD?!

Oh man. Ok, don't worry. Just relax. This sort of thing happens every day in EVE. I know, because I've done it before. We can totally fix this.

First, you're gonna need to find a way into null. Luckily, there's a good number of wormholes that lead there from w-space. Scan one down and get into deep null. Where there's no activity.

No, don't go to Delve stupid. You'll just get hot dropped by supers.

Ok, so you're in deep. Good.

Now warp to belts and find the shiniest battleship there is.

KILL IT AND TAKE IT'S BOUNTIES.

Because, well, sec equates to how high its' bounty is. For some reason. Don't look at me, I just shoot people usually.

But yeah, ratting. Every 15 minutes, you get both the bounty for the rat you killed and sec status from the highest value rat you killed. Weird, I know. Just remember that it gives you sec for each system you rat in as well. Hell you can go from -4.0 to -2.0 in less than a day.

Crazy how that works, huh?

Now go out and rat! Get some loot, chat with locals, shoot them, watch them shoot you, and have fun!
