anyone suggesting that 0.0 be nerfed or made less profitable in any way is dumb, the only real advantage 0.0 has over empire right now are the r64 moons, and that's only for alliance level income
there's a reason for why most players run level 4 missions in highsec in complete safety for personal income, as opposed to ratting in 0.0 which, while often a little more profitable, also has severe disadvantages such as having to compete with other ratters for ratting space, and getting ganked; the only real advantage 0.0 ratting has is the chance to get faction/officer spawns, and that only happens in the best systems
if anything, "average" 0.0 (ie the 95% that doesn't have either very low truesec or valuable moons) needs a massive boost in profitability; this has to be combined with a feature that somehow makes it easier for new alliances to establish themselves in 0.0 while also somehow preventing established alliances from being able to exert control too easily
i really don't think empire space should be anything other than a newbie area and a marketplace - it certainly shouldn't be able to compete with 0.0 in terms of profitability, which is what high quality level 4 missions allows today
obviously ccp will never ever remove level 4 missions from highsec since this would cause a massive exodus of empire players, so what they should do is simply make the alternative more attractive

So with that said the only thing left to change would be to make the Jump Clone timer 72 hours instead of 24. This would put more pressure on breaking up the NAPT since the strategies could be developed around pos timers and multiple attacks on different fronts. Would keep people closer to home and not ping-ponging back and forth covering multiple frontlines.

this is a terrible idea so i'm not surprised at all that it's you posting it
a 72 hour jump clone timer would massively increase annoyance for all individual players while also not providing any real benefits, since people would just use no/cheaper implants and pod jump instead
