With sov in a system, and a high enough industrial index, industry upgrades add gravimetric sites of the same make up as those in wormhole space. In such a developed system the risks are less. I'll explain: In 0.0 you have local available, so can see any hostiles coming into the system. The rats, although they respawn, in 0.0 are no the super intelligent, target switching, rats of WH space. Its possible to get a reasonable spawn, sit an appropriately fit BS in the site, and tank what ever rats come along. At present, with the lack of large wars, this seems to be driving down ore prices. Its still profitable to mine and sell the ore, but much less so than a month ago. People are starting to talk about stockpiling to let the market recover. The next few months will be interesting.
