Having claiming tower majority in a system gets you Sov. Thats what YOU thought.
GMs have a different understanding of what is written in the knowledgebase and what we all think.
Here a few ( translated ) parts of a current Petition in which I asked why a Sov didnt switch whether the tower situation changed.
The scenario:
Alliance A has 9 Towers in a System
Alliance B has 12 Towers in a System
Alliance A anchores 5 Towers (online, claiming and stronted) before downtime so has 14 Towers before Towers in System, Alliance B stays at 12 Towers.
7 Days and one Downtime later after Alliance A added the 5 Tower, Alliance B still has Sov in that system ( they anchored more in the same system but AFTER downtime )
Here starts the petition:
Why does Alliance B still have Sov whether they have only 12 Claiming Towers against the 14 of Alliance A.
Here comes the answer ( Translated )
"Please not that only a limited amount of Control Towers are going into the Sov Calculation. Therefore a "Overbetting (outspammin)" with Towers in a Solar System is not possible anymore"
"We can not tell you the limited amount of Control Towers in this system, but the limit is exceeded, so no effect can be made on the sov of the other alliance"
"This change was made when the Constellaton Sov for Systems was introduced ( Sov 2-4), therefore its active for a longer time now"
"Regarding the Towers, the sov will be calculated for every tower on its own. Althou only towers are going into the calculation that are claiming until the limited amount of towers in the system is reached. If now a tower goes awol ( by going offline or getting destroyed ) the next tower in chronological order of claiming will be counted into the sov calculation. Therefore it is not possible anymore to take over control of a system by having more towers claiming, because this has lead to mass-fights in the past. Are you sure you want to escalate this petition ?"
So this means if a System has 80 Moons but is limited to the first 10 claiming towers and alliance can maintain Sov if they have the first 6 Towers claiming even if another alliance comes and puts 74 Towers in it.
I didn't believe this statement so I escalated it. The Answer from the Senior GM didn't invalidate the answer of the first GM so this means that not the one that has more Large Towers claiming in system gets Sov but the Alliance that claimed 51% of the ominous "limited amount of sov counting towers"
Dear Devs
C/D ?
If you want to look up the petition, its on this account.

If this is true, it sounds like a good way to reduce POS spam.
Yeah but if people would know this before it could save a lot of hours work and fuel for the guys trying to take over a system ...

Was this system in a constellation with constellation sov? Because if so, it only takes one day for an alliance with constellation sov to claim sov with a new POS.
This GM was smoking some grade A reefer. They need to train the outsourced GMs better.
No constellation sov involved in this case

Are you 100% sure that when alliance B anchored more towers to counter yours they did it after downtime? Any chance they could have managed it in the time between receiving mails notifying them of your new towers and before downtime hit?
Care to post with your main or reveal the names of alliances A and B?
Alliance A towers went online 10 minutes before Downtime. System was empty of enemies and rescanned for every single moon.

sounds like more fallout from CCP over the goonies stealing of delve.
makes a person wonder how truthfull they actually were.
in fact it wouldnt suprise me that it was a exploit of some kind, due to the preperation needed to pos spam 100's of poses up on delve.
ghey goonies, once again you LOOSE.
No goonies involved here, sorry
