There are too many major powerblocs that control eve, making it bigger will just make these powerblocs bigger becuase they will just take the new regions that get created..people should have a fair chance to succeed in eve and they havent..
Ive played this game for years and seen how its been shaped so it isnt talking from a noob perspective...
ive bolded what i consider the important bits. having a large group of powerblocs is a good thing. for example. when i started eve (on a different char), there was bob, and the southern coalition, and a nascent and forming northern coalition. "the russians" (red alliance; those who would eventually lead xxxdeathxxx, -a-, solar and red overlord) where at the time fighting with everything they had in their very last system from their very last poses, so they didnt have a coalition. eve was at the time stagnating as there where only 2 real powerblocks, who where allied to eachother (or at the very least napped). by the time i got into 0.0 with oxide and dmc et. al. there was more space, and more alliances and coalitions fighting over it, with the addition of more space came the mad pact, and the birth of the redswarm federation, along with the full birthing of the nc and so on and so on. this proliferation of pwowers has resulted in teh fact that apart from at most 6 individual alliances (gs, bob, red, rawr, maybe a few others) that space has not had many stable owners for a very long time at all. not even these few historically major forces has gone completely unscathed, and their smaller hangars on or offshoots have either not faced the kind of threats these few have, or have fallen by the wayside and collapsed. in closely compacted flows of power maintaining control of those flows is difficult in the extreme, which explains why the coalitions are at this precise moment fighting over limited regions. once, for example, the querious war is concluded or finally grinds to a halt these coalitions will reset eachother, as that is how it has always gone and will always go in this game, friendships are only held for as long as they are useful.
and whilst your opinion may not be "noobish" im not entirely sure, with respect, that it is accurate either. power is volatile and results in change, the proliferation of inter-alliance pacts proves you wrong before anything else, for the simple fact that they are temporary in nature.
