One of the problems that I see with w space is that although I'm finding it easy enough to scan out the wormholes, lots of them have a very small mass allowance (i.e. a mass allowance that only lets 3 BS into class 5-6 wormholes from a class 2 wormhole is just not enough to get a decent gang in and also allow them to return later)
Sigh...why do people assume that you need to bring in BS? You can bring something like 10 cruisers in for every BS you bring in. Battleships are designed to destroy the mass allowance of the WH fast.

1) W space exploration would become more meaningful for expanding corps/allowances, and enable them to utilise it to a much greater degree by semi permanently linking the systems.
You can already do this. Set up POS in w-space system, use it as a base. Of course, you will still have to search for new WHs from that location...but that's good, as a place to sit and farm the same system for days/weeks on end was not the idea behind w-space.

2) Alliances could actually set up in W space without holding sovereignty. Yes this allows Large alliances to get an advantage over smaller organisations. But not without risk!
Already possible. There are already several w-space exploration alliances that exist...If you mean the giant 0.0 powerblocs should start moving into w-space, **** no. W-space is a new type of space for a new type of alliance/corp/player, not an extension of existing 0.0

3) Smaller alliances could disrupt the trade routes by destroying the Modules, thereby closing the wormhole/allowing it to despawn naturally depending on how long the module had been in place. This is why only ever having one Mod online in system is vital. Another Corp/Alliance can still find a random wormhole in, and use a squad to destroy your trade route, thereby dividing your forces, and hopefully then conquer said forces..
I don't see the issue here. That's what regular 0.0 is for. If regular 0.0 doesn't fit this model (which admittedly it doesn't), then we should fix 0.0, not change w-space.

4) The alliance could also voluntarily shut one of the gates.. It would save their core resources, but could also cut off other resources/pilots.. decisions in war SHOULD be tough!
Until they spend 30 minutes to find another exit to k-space, of course.
