The rest not so sure, we have SAP loot and best missions on Beta. Nothing industrial needed the difference between gamma is already minimal. Safety is much worse on beta that the main reason I think no one actually is living there, perhaps is players mentality where a blob can jump you at anytime from across the world.

Risk vs Reward. I think we've got get out of the idea of the prescriptive hierarchy that Alpha=safest, Beta=dangerous, Gamma=most dangerous, accept that it is the way it is and adjust reward accordingly. Sure you risk far more NIC and time/effort on gamma but once you're established you get so much time to react to losing your investment and have powerful structures to assist you that that doesn't balance the the constant danger on Beta of dieing at a moments notice for me.

There's another thread for that. You might have seen it.

                                                                     
EDIT. @ Homer: maybe thats the point of gamma. Invest NIC, time, effort and make yourself a relatively safe environment. Why does it have to be more dangerous than Beta? You're risking something very different on gamma. I like that.

you only have the illusion of savety on gamma. if you think you are save there. atm we just have to few players and thats why its a bit more save as it normaly should be.

and as already has been said. its a costly illuison of savety.

some corps (yes single corps) ave put more then 10bil nic into gamma. with multible corps on one island this is a investment that you have to get back. and thats not done in a few weeks.

beta has t5 npcs spawns that are good to farm. alpha has only t4 spawn. of cource its highly more risky to fatm them on a pvp island. i dont know if anybody does. i havent been on betas a lot latlely. if then for a bit of pvp or mostly just on my way through on the way to or from gamma.

that spawns are way better. thats a plus for bets. gamma spawns (roamings) are not worth your time. oberserver is the only thing worth hunting on gamma. even industrials are now better farmed at beta.

sap loot was already mentioned and is a huge factor now. but with hopefully rining population in the future this will be a very tiny fraction. sap loot will be not realy worth mentioning if a few thousand players are in the game.

artifacts are better on gamma (way better) but i realy havent artifacted a lot in the last year. spand my first 2 months in the game with that as primary occupation. still on beta then. but i still profit from the mk2 cts i had found back then.

bezzer missions for beta would be a good thing in the new mission system. but then laso is needed for the beta2 islands and not just for the beta1 as its right now.

gamma on the other hand could use some pve content as well. something similar to the eve scanning stuff, or something else if someone has better ideas.

I agree, give us a reason to fight for them, and we will fight for them.

would be fun to get Nor off of easy mode and back in the dangerzone fun mode

Beta is fine as it is, players reach a stage where living in beta is not enough that's fine, but it is a stepping stone for newer players to live there before they move to gamma. This is good game design.

Sometimes you guys forget this is not only a game for vets.

The only thing wrong about beta now is the big blob just around the corner, where they arrive without any warning or detection.
