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.
A high-end like Dysprosium or Promethium will still be worth some ISK. Some people see it around 3 Billion per Month, so a single high-end pays for two systems with a cyno-jammer allready.

Dominion was explicitly intended to allow you to make more money as an average player in 0.0 and currently it is failing.

You literally cannot count any loot obtained from any plex in the money gained. You want to try to audit people running plexes and force them to pay taxes on the loot they get? Yeah okay have fun with that impossible task. When it comes to plexes the only income you can count on the alliance seeing is ratting tax from bounties.

People are "whining" because these much vaunted changes are pretty lousy. Not that I'd expect an empire dweller like yourself to get it, of course.

Yea your estimate is much too low. You need to add your current fuel bill to the sov bill. Since you still need pos. Just name the expansion: Exodus to NPC space.

CVA alone has the most outposts per region, so i'd figure just for outposts alone thats probally 20+ bil isk a month
CCP, you can't really be serious.
How much do you pay in POS fuel currently in comparision?
A large pos is something like 200mil a month for a large. Even assuming they have 2 pos for jump bridges and 1 for a cyno jammer that's still only 600mil a month.

Great stuff BUT!!!! HOLY CRAP EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You want more people out there, but a small alliance like us (just over 50 members at moment), HOW ON EARTH are we gonna get all that isk!? A single system will easy end up costing 50-75mill per day - THATS 2.25 BILLION per month! (btw, thats 10 deathstarts worth of fuel in sov 1, not 5) to compare: 50 members at 10% tax generates about 150-200 mill isk on a good month!
And then there's the ''Resource upgrades cost a relatively small amount of ISK (we are looking at a range of 50-500 million ISK) '' 500 MILLION is not a SMALL AMOUNT!
Our alliance had been really looking forward to Dominion, however there's NO WAY we can suddenly generate an additional 2 billion isk. All of us are very dissapointed because of this.
couldn't you make the first system cost say a fraction of that and second sys jump up to that level so that alliances like us can actually join in on it?

I know it. As an owner of space its your problem to tax it somehow for use (renter system) or just deny others people plexing in station system. Point is - the upgrade gives enough ISK to cover costs, you just have to take it somehow.

Impossible by your standards? Maybe learn from MM how to farm plexes and deny others from doing it (cosmos radar - which is more random than sure plex in one system).

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.

I'd have to go dig sources, but their whole idea was to boost personal income while reducing the emphasis on alliance income; hence, nerf moon income and boost ratting/mining/etc, while simultaneously forcing people to use less space.
These upgrades don't really accomplish that.
<E> As it stands right now you get maybe 4-5 anomalies per system. Add to that ten anomalies from a maxed out upgrade and assume the ideal where they respawn instantly. Each anomaly is really only good for one person. Grats your system can support fifteen ratters, plus one or two more in the normal belts. Mining isn't worth the time so we can count that out, mini profession sites aren't worth the time, they're out. Wormholes are debatable, and DED plexes only allow a few more people to make money there. Its a far cry from 50-100 per system.

Well we do use the systems. Providence is problaly the most population density area of 0.0 in eve. Ask everyone who comes around to pvp here. CVA runs a NRDS polcy inviting everyone into thier space, to run plexes, mine, live, explore 0.0. Indeed many alliances got thier 1st taste of 0.0 via Providence and the deliverance mission. We build outpost after outpost up, because, well thats what ccp said/told us we needed to do.
Your statment hinges on the fact that inorder to pay for the space we have, we basically have to abandon EVERYTHING we believe in , shut out all neutrals, force payment from individual corps and its members to TAX them to death. CVA are not any pinko commies (no offense to any). We don't force people to pay for things, we dont' expand past our own ability to defend our areas, we don't ask anything of anyone to come to cva space but simply to live wand fly with honor, yet, ccp want to destroy that which they are holding up as the "example" they are building this patch off.
I can't see how individual wealth runs /pays for any of this. Providence is probally the poorist region in regards to assets/items in the area, and yes, while plexes do exisit I'm not sure how individual wealth translates to alliance wealth.

This is utter garbage. This is not an improvement AT ALL. What incentive does anyone have owning space? Why not just live in NPC space. You increase the costs of EVERYTHING, and the other side of the equation (better systems via better ratting, mining, etc) is unchanged? Anomalies are ****, everything but the 10/10 complex is ****.

Wow. Goonswarm tears aside, I have a serious question:
Originally by: devblog The industrial index is based upon two activities taking place within your solar system. These are mining and mini-professions are based around the volume of ore mined and the successful use of hacking or archaeology modules within your space.
By "successful use", is this governed by module success or the quantity of goods retrieved? Obviously, being governed by the latter - effectively chance-based - is a horrible idea.
Cheers on the changes, CCP.

CCP missed the essence of what Dominion was supposed to be.
Just to be perfectly clear Morsus Mihi anticipated something like this ages ago, and as holding the most ****tiest region in New Eden we can finally make something from it, but I dont see a one single incentive for smaller entities (corps/alliances) to hold sov, cause it will be bloody expensive for them.
Macrominers and macroratters will flourish. Now I totally understand why UaxDeath was happy as puppy when he read the devblog.
Only good thing I see is for smaller "pvp" entities who are living in NPC stations. They will have awesome amount of bots to shoot.

Also throw in the fact that it's not just a walk in the park out their either. Ontop of the 2+billion a month for ONE SINGLE SYSTEM they'll have to deal with roaming gangs and all those fun politics that come with 0.0, not to mention the carrier/dreads needed to defend said space, the people to fly them... etc. This is not even remotely within the reach of smaller alliances for even a single system, and a lot of people just aren't interested in having to form 500+ strong alliances and it looks like that's basically what will be needed to have a couple systems.

Nothing I have seen so far has even come close to SUGGESTING we will be able to find activity for even 100 people for more than an hour in a single, fully upgraded system.
1 person can clear 4 anoms in an hour.
2 people can clear a DED 7-9/10 plex in an hour.
Mining is **** until you fix Grav sites and give us a reason to actually mine VELD.
All I've seen are enough activities to keep 20-30 people busy for 3-4 hours.
I'm begging you to explain how you even came CLOSE to the number of 100-150 being able to keep themselves busy in a single upgraded system. I'm not trolling, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want you to explain to us how this is even remotely possible.

Id guess it means the 1st one. Which is easily farmable then. Just leave t1 frig with analyzer/codebraker in complex and put heavy book on F1 key = codebreaker. Can gets open, after 2-3 minutes it closes itself when stuck F1 kicks in and opens it again. Tho it doesnt matter - radars/magnetos are **** anyways. Those 2 lol-anomalies will give more isk than perma radar-site in your system.
As for plex values. Sansha/blood/angel plexes are still quite decent. Serps - i dunno (sorry). Guristas are getting worthless now (yay farmers, but thx for cheap b-type mods). Drone region dudes should cry now. Who cares about "higher chance of drone plex" lol.

Funny but i agree with this. The upgrades shown will barely occupy 5-10 people (thats excluding normal belts in system).

I still don't understand why ccp can't figure out why people in 0.0 don't mine. Its not because there isn't ENOUGH of it, its because its not worth the isk/hour compared to ratting. Giving us more roids of the same type doesn't matter if no one is mining the ones we already have anyway. Sure there are a couple of peoples with bots who run 5 hulks at the same time but thats .1% of the eve 0.0 population.
Also how do you expect any alliance without r64s to hold more then one system? OR expect people to fight wars of conquest when winning would be more expensive then losing?

CCP, you can't really be serious.
How much do you pay in POS fuel currently in comparision?
Tlos as a corp runs aproxx 30-40 pos's 4 jb (which wouldnt' come down, 1 cyno jammer (which wouldnt' come down), and the rest are large reaction pos's which pay for the jb pos's, cyno jammer pos's. reaction pos with alot of offline armorment incase of attack. We do not control any main entrances into provi/ so we don't run aren't forced to run pos's of full deathstar magnatude, so we really wouldn't save any isk.
Infact due to this patch we will see an INCREASE in pos fuel usage due to the sovernty changes.
Also due to the INCREASE in spawns of high end plexes I can't see anything but the decrease of high end module prices.

The point is that it is more difficult to own too much space, giving smaller entities a chance to move into the space the big alliances are going to have to leave. It is more expensive to run a system than before, but the amount of isk you can make will increase much, much more.

1-2Bn isk / month / system.
This is way too expensive for many smaller alliances. Especially as it comes in addition to the POS fuel. A lot of towers now have some moon mining on it, how crappy it may be, but it helps with the fuel bill. You can remove the deathstars, but the are less of those than you think.
And how do you get the ISK back as an alliance/corporation? Vast majority will disappear in personal wallets. If you rake up the tax (and you can only tax your own people), players will just go missioning in empire.
So, where is the upgrade that gives 10% of all bounties paid to pod pilots in this system to the sov-holding corp? But how can you tax mining and hacking/archeology?

This is hilarious. After years of trying to encourage players to move to 0.0, you just slapped a huge tax on it and made it virtually unprofitable.
Most of the upgrades mentioned derive their income from means that cannot be directly taxed or monitored. This means alliances will be forced to use convoluted out-of-game rental schemes until Treaties, which we probably won't see until the middle of next year at the soonest.
Owning 0.0 space is now far less attractive than before. Not only is it actually less profitable than high-sec mission running, but you've managed to make it more dangerous by trying to concentrate everyone making money into smaller, easily ganked pockets. Instead of improving conq space, you have taken what's already there and just increased it so more people can do it in the same area. Unless the average isk/hour per player rate rises as these systems are upgraded, conq space is worth no more than NPC 0.0 or even lowsec. Hell, its worth less because of the huge bills needed to hold it.
1) Make sov costs scale with sov claimed as originally promised. This provides easy entry for smaller groups while limiting larger ones. For example, claiming a single system with an alliance is 100m per month. Claiming two systems is 102m per system (204m total).
2) Increase the average isk/hour ratio earned by people living in conq space. Higher value rats, not more of them. Higher yield ores so that people can manage local industry, rather than still require bulk compressed imports from empire. Add scaling NPC buy orders for complex drops to player owned outposts, with tax income going to the owning corporation.
3) The expense of logistics routes is going to mean small and medium alliances are reduced to single easily ganked routes without alternative. Instead have upgrade costs scale the more upgrades are installed. This means that operating a jump bridge upgrade on a simple linking system will cost less than putting a bridge upgrade on a cynojammed system with CSAAs to defend.

I was kinda looking forward to farming the poor sods who were actually going to try and grab a bit of 0.0 when the big blocks compress themselves, since the idea was to repopulate space based on a reward model that could compete with the easy afk empire syndrome on alts. I guess that is out of the window now, if not because they won't move to try, but because the ones that do are going to get farmed to death for nice griefing cloaking gank farming kills.
