However, Nullsec PI is not without compromises or hidden costs:

* Nullsec is '''dangerous.''' [[Gate_Games#Bubbles|Bubbles]], stronger [[Rat|rats]], and gatecamps are plentiful. [[CONCORD]] is not present to intervene in conflicts. Any neutral pilot is a potential aggressor, and many roaming gangs have a habit of ~~visiting~~ during peak [[EVE_Lexicon#PvE]] times.

* Nullsec is '''dangerous.''' [[Gate_Games#Bubbles|Bubbles]], stronger [[Rat|rats]], and gatecamps are plentiful. [[CONCORD]] is not present to intervene in conflicts. Any neutral pilot is a potential aggressor, and many roaming gangs have a habit of returning during peak [[EVE_Lexicon#PvE|PvE]] times.

* Most high-volume trade hubs are found outside of Nullsec. If a player expects to sell PI products on the market, then the goods need to first reach the intended market.

*

* Certain areas of Nullsec do not have permanent NPC stations. Ships or materials staged in a player-anchored structure are vulnerable to the structure being attacked.

* Because of higher resource extraction yields, PI setups in Nullsec have a higher time cost for transportation if the configuration results in storage filling up quickly.

~~These two factors lead to the myth that PI just isn't worth the hassle. That myth comes from people who try to do PI in HiSec. In HiSec~~, you begin with planets that already have poor resources due to the high Security Status even before you have the unwashed masses sucking each planet dry for anything and everything, so the profit that you make is often really low. NullSec is different because the planets are rich in ~~resources and the local traffic is very low, meaning we can easily turn~~ a ~~great profit for very little effort~~. ~~Depending on the markets, very simple P0>P2 extraction planets can generate between 3-5M ISK~~ a ~~day. If you are running 5 planets, that~~ is ~~roughly 15-25M ISK~~ or ~~a fully fit T1 Cruiser, per~~ day~~, for free.~~

None of these tradeoffs is insurmountable, as explored in a later section. Even a casual approach to PI in Nullsec is sufficient to fund or supplement day-to-day activities.

~~With that in mind, why would anyone not want~~ to ~~do PI in NullSec if they are already living there? You should know that your return will depend on the markets, how often you micromanage your setup and how efficient your planets are~~. ~~'''Your mileage will vary!'''~~
