I sense your frustration. Here's what happened.
CCP Devs: Hey we need upgrades to create new belts and higher-bounty rats FTW!
CCP Coders: Ummmm. No one has touched that stuff with a ten-foot pole since Beta. We don't even know where it is in the code. Besides, belts? Remember how dang long it took us to get that silly monument in Jita? Yeah.
CCP Devs: Well, ummm, we need something to make the space better...erm...
CCP Coders: What about all that exploration and WH stuff you had us do a few expansions ago?
CCP Devs: I don't think that will really cut it in this case.
CCP Coders: Sites and WH linked to upgrades? Message received.
Sounds about right.

This expansion will sure let the little guy into 0.0 because all the big alliances can shrink the amount of space they need.
Well that was the plan anyhow but the reality is that.... 1.Our costs just went way way up. 2.Only the jammer/gen/jb upgrade is worth anything (lol 10 extra worthless anomolies, yeah I'll be sure to get all 5 levels of that) 3.Having sov produces 0 benifits over not having sov excepts for jammed or jb systems. 4. Moon goo nerfed so income must come from members forcing them to carebear more than now.
Total result is we now need even MORE space than we held before. We won't sov it because there is no point but the little guy sure a hell is not gonna be allowed to live there.

Originally by: Vivian Azure You people do not understand what Dominion is all about, do you?
Dominion is not ment to generate more ISK in your space, but to destroy tons of ISK holding on to it.
Actually, if you bothered to read the earlier devblogs on the subject, it's supposed to be pumping up the value of individual systems to the point where a non-hueg alliance could realistically support themselves through either their own activities or tenants on a handful of systems. A big part of this would be incentivising 0.0 enough to pull people out of empire space.
Too bad the upgrades that were supposed to make this happen are all worthless save the plexing upgrade (until deadspace loot prices tank) and possibly the WH upgrade.
{edit}@ Vivian: Alluded to in: http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=703 http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=695 http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=691
Dev posts elsewhere are a bit more precise on the matter{/edit}
You are forgetting the other half of the intended result: reduction of the space claimed but unused by existing alliances.
And you are forgetting that it's unused because it is worthless. Post dominion it is still worthless, therefor still unused. Big alliance can/will still claim the space we just won't sov it. Now if the upgrades actualy made the space more valuable so we could shrink in size coupled with the higher cost of maintaining space then we might actually do it.

Originally by: Sarah Norbulk YES OR NO: Due to the increased risk and logistics effort required, 0.0 should be more - not as - profitable (in raw isk/h) than highsec L4 mission running.
I'd like to here the answer to this myself.
As would I

Originally by: Sapegu My acoorp, and alliance are having a bit of a problem with this: can SOV be taken in a system lower than 0.0?
If you mean higher than 0,0 such as .1, .2 etc... No
