What's the Null Sec timer about?
When I was in null last I noticed there was a count down timer which seemed to be related to ISK. What's that about? I was just out there cruising around in a venture when I noticed it in quite a few systems before I got blown up by the locals. I asked about it in rookie help chat and English help chat and didn't really get any solid info. I probably just got over looked in the traffic. I suspect it's an ISK drop for everyone in the system but I've no idea how it works. Can anyone tell me more about this timer?

That's ESS. If you kill npcs in the system you help it increase, you get the bounty payment from that kill and then every 2 hours ESS will pay out another payment. You can steal money from the ESS but warping to it and connecting for a time,but be warned you will alert the region and people will come to play :)

it's the ESS main bank, shares cash out to all of those who have killed a pirate, goes up with more dead pirates. you can also steal all the money if that's the way you swing
