I thought the whole point for Dominion was to generate a purpose for the alliances in 0.0 to have a need for the carebear corps, not so much turn the PvP corps into carebears. When I first read the blogs I thought it would be great to give those PvP's someone to defend, not just pixils on the screen but some one on the other side (I mean it is a massively multiplayer game after all right?). I know a lot of carebears that dont care to pvp but are more then willing to generate industry, expand faction warefare, and create economies.
Being a carebear, I welcome the idea of my industrial corp being needed for the survival of an alliance. And in turn I enjoy the idea of having (needing) a pvp backbone to protect (and attack enemy space )not just the sov of a system but the people in it. Now the pvpers have more meaning then just being called up for some blob battle or some pos bashing. I doubt that those pvpers will have much time to farm isk via mining or ratting and will need to rely on the indutrial corps to generate the isk for the alliance. Perhaps the alliance should hire their pvpers to do what they enjoy. (Hey now you dont have to farm isk at all you get paid to do what you like to do, shoot things, probably as soon as you log on to when you log off.)
I dont think that alliance will rely soly on the tax income from rat farming or moon goo but perhaps more from the economies that are generated in their systems by their industrial corps (who are protected by not only the pvpers but also the pve'ers, becuase i konw i dont want to shoot pvpers or rats in my hulk i more then welcome those pvper/pve'er to shoot them for me). Just think you attract enough renters or locals or even neighboring alliances that make your system a mini jita which now you are generating income off of.
In short i think the devs are doing what they intended. Making it so if you want to own space you will have to include all aspecs of the game. The pvpers wont have to farm isk but rely on the industrials who in turn rely on the pvper and the pve'er to make things go boom. Also your industrial corps will be create local economies that passer bys or renters will buy from.
Maybe im wrong but i think that is what everyone wanted, pvpers didnt want to farm, pve'er wanted to farm, both want to be part of social group that can come on and have fun competing with their neighbors both economically and militarly.
