Solitude is only reachable through Syndicate or a long roundabout path through Aridia and is heavily populated. It has a small local tradehub. It basically acts as a proof of concept for this idea, and show that local trade hubs would strengthen. How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp. |

People are inherently lazy and they will move to the cheapest market area. The lack of SOE mission areas and Jita being the main trade hub will assure that the serious mission runners are located in Caldari space. Amarr space will probably be fine as it's a primary target of incursions.
There are also SOE agents in Minmatar and Amarr space. Mission runners would continue to run missions for whoever they currently are, they wouldn't change simply because they need a cloaky hauler to sell their low volume goods at whichever market they would get the highest price at.
Additionally there are trade hubs in each of the 4 empires, they would grow, not shrink, if the empires were separated, as they would be more valuable as an easy place to get commonplace modules (T2s/Meta 4s). Faction/deadspace mods would likely still center around Jita, but for a small market this is inevitable, and that's how it is now.

It will never happen...the smaller hubs will become marginalized and wither.
Is there actually any time in history where separating markets with hostile armed forces has improved trade? I can't think of any and since we are simulating a market here why should we believe this would work differently in Eve?
Don't get me wrong, I would actually profit from this change but I don't agree with ideas simply because they would benefit me. I can only see bad things from a change like this. Much better to increase the content in losec and encourage players to go there of their own volition.
Choice is the key to Eve, if we start removing choices we stifle the game.
But the smaller hubs won't wither and die because they are centers for trade currently. Separating the empires would cause them to grow as people would rather buy locally than jump in something cloaky and fly through lowsec to Jita.
If they want something faction/deadspace/officer, then they will get a cheetah or blockade runner and fly to Jita, just as they do now.
Paired with the industry changes caldari space would no grow to dominate highsec, the price of production there would force people out, as well as the draw of higher prices in other, more local trade hubs. How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp. |

Separating the empires would cause them to grow as people would rather buy locally than jump in something cloaky and fly through lowsec to Jita. And how do you get the stuff there? Items and ships don't move themselves. There are manufacturing station that exist outside of The Forge region. Also POSes can build things. And how do you get the materials to your manu stations outside major hubs (Idc about Forge when it comes to manufacturing stations)?
News flash, most minerals aren't even sold in trade hubs, but in industrial hub systems that you've never heard of where they're mined, the same industrial hubs where T1 mods are made. These hubs exist outside of Caldari space.
Moon goo will be moved the same way it always is, by jump freighter to where ever they get the most money for it. If prices are double in Dodixie what they are in Jita, route will modify to accommodate the increase in price.
