This looks like a great change. Big Fat Bored alliances need to get a shake up. There will finally be a higher cost of sitting on 0.0 space. With smaller alliances holding space, this may bring smaller pvp ops which would be awesome.
Looking forward to seeing this in 2010.
This is what I am hoping for. I decided to take a tour through delve and querious to see what the goonies where up to and other than a few dozen docked up in a couple of outposts and two super n00b bubble camps it was completely empty other than all the other non goons ratting in belts and running blood raider missions. Was a rather interesting experience with all the barking about the 'delve police' and other such nasty fates awaiting anyone entering goonspace. So sov 4 and cynojammers makes defense faaar to easy so maybe now we will actually see players out and about defending space instead of docked up and spamming /b/ only bothering to stir when a cap fleet is needed to bash a pos or attacking fleet. I think nullsec just got a whole lot moar intersting now.

Look at all these people who think that just because sov rules are changing that they will have a chance in conq 0.0.
Given that the sole way to claim or destroy sov past workarounds was to spam pos and then bash them I would say that is exactly what will happen. The only reason we have these lolhuge areas of territory under one color is that once the pos and jammers are up its not generally worth the effort to take it away. This is changing and will redefine what it means to be an alliance after it hits. Active territory wide player participation will be needed to hold space and only those alliances who can organise lots of simultanious daily ongoing operations will be able to stay on top. The days of only having to log on for a pos bash every once and a while to determine how big you are on the map is now dust in the wind.

yeah you don't stand a chance
Who me personally?
Of course not as my small 5 account corp is no match for even the smallest nullsec alliance. I might have my own cap fleet to play station games and to use as mobile pos for exploiting an alliances exploration sites but I hold no illusions of holding conquerable space. However if the new mechanics work out how I think they will then all those empty unused areas of nullsec that are currently locked up in sov will be freed up when the logistical cost is to high to maintain. Then we will see smaller alliances getting a foothold and using the new mechanics to improve the systems so they can carve out lots of smaller empires that make enough to fund the defenses. Think the goonie masses are ready for the massive level of commitment that will be needed to keep all that yellow on the map?

The amount of effort required to live in 0.0 will still be above what the empire *******s in this thread will want to put in.
The amount of effort with the new mechanics may be moar than some established alliances will want to put in. Everything I am reading from this bit of dev blog info is that empires will take active ongoing daily management and player participation to prosper and not the current rush rush rush pos spam then ages of comfort once you get jammers up.

You do realize this situation existed before jammers were introduced, right?
Yopu do realize this expansion exists to get rid of the creeping horror that was the olde sov mechanic, right?

This is so ******ed it hurts. Your the ****ing person they put in charge of this too eh. well i guess the game will burn to the ground then.
Onoes! The skies falling! /o\ A Goon said so!
I can't believe you really want control over who jumps through the gates, this is about adding choice into the game no allowing you to sit behind your carebear protection wall.
Then again perhaps you're this upset because you think CCP will break the game before the Goons do? I'm sure a few personal insults aimed at the devs will help though. Srsly.
*facepalm*
Dumbledore is a grenade the goons throw into a thread just for the lulz of responces like yours.
