I'd check out the wormholes I found, sure, and I'd do some limited exploration in low-sec, but easily 90% of my career was spent in high-sec. And I was well beyond beginner in my Hulk... | |

Best example of this is "Incursions" where a group of players (anywhere between 5 - 40) join a fleet to take down NPC ships. The PvP part of this is that if there are other fleets in the same site (there are a limited number of sites in any particular Incursion) killing the same ships, then only the Fleet doing the most damage will be rewarded. | |

There is the risk of suicide ganks, where other players may attempt to blow your ship up even if it means they themselves will certainly die in the process. This often happens when it seems to the attackers that they may make money from the loot your ship will drop that will offset the loss they will make from their ships dying. This is the risk that's in play in all areas of space in the game. | |
