I kinda don't get it. I see having rogue drone space, but I don't understand how they made the area competitive. |
Drones don't give bounties, but drop alloys wich in turn can be refined to minerals (Anything from Tritanium to Megacyte). This can be very lucrative
provided you have the logistical backbone to handle it. You just can't hop into belt and start ratting mindlessly away while the ISK trickle into your wallet, you have to transport all these alloys, refine them and market them or use it for production. If you can manage those things Drones are more lucrative then normal rats, but most people shun the logistical hassle involved with them.
Therefore the Drone regions have got a rather carebearish image as you need quite a carebear organization to make good use of them, and are therefore shunned by the more PvP oriented alliances.
Also Drone regions are quite remote from empire, another problem for PvP alliances relying on empire shopping trips to resupply their gear.
