Is flying a rookie ship through pirate territory a bad idea?
In short: This video explores whether navigating a weak vessel through a high-risk pirate hotspot in Eve Online is truly a recipe for disaster, testing the logic used by some critics of the game's economy.
The footage follows a six-year-old named Skye attempting to pilot a rookie ship through Amamake, a system known as a pirate central. This experiment serves as a practical response to an armchair economist who argued that new tax levels on planetary customs offices would negatively impact the Eve Online economy.
The critic suggested that questioning the economic impact of these taxes was as illogical as assuming that flying a novice ship solo into a pirate choke point is a bad idea. This video aims to demonstrate that avoiding pirates in low-sec space can actually be quite easy.
