Home » Site News » EVE: Picking a system
On the in-game map, all nullsec systems are listed as having a 0.0 security rating, but they actually have a hidden negative security rating in the range from -0.01 to -1.0. This is a system true security rating and it can be found on various map tools and websites. The lower this number is, the more likely you will get high bounty battleships, triple battleship spawns and faction commander ships. A system with a true security rating of -0.44, for example, would be a significantly better spot for ratting than a -0.06 system. You will also want to pick a system with plenty of asteroid belts so you never run out of NPCs to shoot at.
The extremely rare officer NPCs that can drop some modules worth billions allegedly also only spawn in their pirate faction home region. These factors make NPC pirate regions like Stain and Venal very lucrative for ratting. More importantly, the regions are littered with NPC stations that anyone can dock at. If you plan to go ratting in NPC systems, keep in mind that they are often hot-spots for piracy and have a higher population density than most nullsec systems.
