standard is gonna be hard unless you are with bluesun or shining winds. even then you will have difficulty keeping with top raiders on their good days, especially if you do not have level 2 jumpgates. :/
extreme, i'll be honest. it has largely become a matter of running away from gozar. nobody can outgrow him without smashing fleets as well, before he does. NOBODY. because most people are not cowardly/careful/pragmatic about their fleets and insist on the utmost activity possible despite the heavy risk. well, they are nto my accounts so I can't stop them, but gozar will continue to grow at a frightening pace, until people are more careful fleetsaving and use the big moons. lol
(don't join extreme outside of azguard imo)
speed is not too bad. alliances shift a lot it seems but raiding is pretty good.
all joking aside, if you are careful you can survive anywhere, which I think you might be entirely capable of

it's good to see an old face again, welcome back! (and no, I don't THINK you know me lol)
