Indeed. The rings are much more convenient for revival, you do get the odd PKer in PvP1 but they are few and far between. And if you do get PKed - big deal! Tiny bit of decay and a bit more inconvenience, you're not lootable in PvP1 or 2
You're most likely to get shot at near the Rx bases at 41,113 and 34,116, so avoid them and it's 99% certain you'll be fine
