Firstly, let people upgrade their space, and in particular its resource density. By increasing the resource density, you increase the potential population density, and by letting players do it rather than simply seeding more resources, you open up more decisions and more emergence.
Sweet. Specifics? Upgrade to get merx in the belt in ec-p8r? Upgrade quality of rats? More plexes? Or just the AMOUNT of roids in the belts?

Secondly, reduce the amount of income that can be derived from mining moons. In conjuction with the first change, this means that the best way to raise funds for an alliance will once again be to fill your space with as many people as possible, upgrade your space as much as possible and watch the money roll in.
Outright nerf on r64? In the context of being "secondly" it almost sounds like you are upgrading your moon minerals to be less. Sounds backwards?

This serves several masters. It gets more people into nullsec - one of our objectives - by making big alliances want more people in their space
As opposed to the current system which compares Alliance [X] to the number in fleet. They actively tries to find those not in the fleet. Then penalizing them into sending them back to empire? Hell I even ran my alliance with a system of 100% tax to get participation... but I found that this moreso only forces people to stop playing entirely. Which makes the game not fun. So there was still an unspoken push toward making people pvpers only in 0.0 The belts and plexes are thusly untouched unless you play 12 hours a day and outperform the fcs. They get tired and then you can go ratting. Except an alliance run off that method quickly burns out. You will gain in the short run massive success; in return after X time. You burn out and cant go anymore.
Nerfing the rich moons is epic. I wonder how you presume to do this? Change the reactions? Create more rich moons? Open up highsec moon mining?

It makes it much harder to be a big, rich, military alliance; rather, things should move more back towards the old dichotomy between big rich carebear alliances and smaller, poorer military alliances, because history (both in EVE and in the real world) shows that badass military organizations can't handle crop rotation without going soft and squishy
The funny thing is that in the new system. There will be a consistent like 40% tax or higher to pay for the military side using carebears. Which I think is great. Afterall most of the big countries IRL have like 50% tax.
This new system in theory will be very cool. IF it works out well. With the currently broken bug report system; not to mention sisi rules possibily hindering. We may not discover it to be working all that well.

Dont make Eve gay ccp. Think of the sov map after. So many small alliances everywhere will make it so colourful and dotty. That it will be a big long rainbow.

Capital ships will still have uses, they'll just be less omnipresent than they are now. I'd hang onto them if I were you.
THE CHILDREN
THINK OF THE CHILDREN! And the cap pilots who like cap fighting.
I absolutely love capitals. I even liked pos sieging... with the exception of a few D2 specials that makes me cry at night. I like the idea that caps are far less used in pos warfare because 9/10 pos will be taken down probably. I also figure... 9/10 cappilots will also give in and never fly one again because they figure they are boring.

1) I don't think the doomsday has ever served to reduce fleet sizes. Either people bring the full blob or they bring nothing - I don't know of anyone saying "let's only take half the fleet in case we get doomsdayed". As to specific changes, this will be explained shortly.
I think it's more like they bring the whole blob... but purposely keep to areas where you wont find the titan.
For example. Solar and friends had a big gang moving around the area. There was several larger gangs around looking to destroy them... but their plan was to cyno in 2 titans and jump out soon as possible. Leaving just a few of their ships. Then move back in for the cleanup.
We instead decided to stick to cynojammed system. Refusing to jump into any system that isnt known jammed; if they werent there. Not to hard considering like all systems being jammed anymore... literally knowing the unjammed systems being easier in this particular region.
This refusal to engage the enemy even when you are on par or large due to the fear of titans.

1, logistics, I live in the ass of space far from empire, to get stuff I need to jump a lot of cyno arrays to empire. A few of them being far from our space deep in allied space, also with alternative routes so we donĘt get our arrays camped or get logistic problems if one falls.
The point is that if you cant do it. The next to come by can. So put your stuff on sale in 0.0 so those who arent in the ass end can do it. You choose to live there. Dont like it? MOVE.
Quote:
3) Less cynojammers may mean more cap fights. We'll see what happens.
No. Plainly no.
Take Ec-p8r for example. If that system wasnt jammed... you might get capfleets in there to pound poses to take the system. It would be extremely rare to see a capfleet dropped on the station in order to cause havoc. Such a thing hasnt really happened since the fighter nerf WAY back.
Now replace ec-p8r with a dockable npc station... and then ya. Which again... if nrds comes in... the agressors might get a 1 time deal in doing just this.
If standings start to be shared around far more. It might poison yourself to do it.
I do like the "sync standings" idea.

red line is where it really ought to be; note that for most people this is not total net wealth but only their liquid float (wallet) on any given moment
Because you say so? You apparently want to nerf highsec to about 33% of current value; or make it so highsec dwellers have to be constantly poor based one what?
Sorry but you really cant nerf highsec and expect no other ripples. I get Gist x-type xl booster in 0.0. I sell it. Who is buying? Mission runners. What happens when you nerf them and they cant afford to pay the 2billion isk. Instead I get 700mil(1/3 value) Now recalculate how much I earnt in that time. I just took a massive drop in earning.
Furthermore. The amount of isk coming from mission runners also fairly is representative of how many insured ships I can lose; as a total. I can do many more t2 fit insured megas with 2 bil then i can with 700mil. As the base cost of the ship is set thusly with that of insurance. So generally speaking. It's good fun where it is now.

Ok I'm coining the new term.
NADS: Not Alliance Dont Shoot
In the current and presumably new system. Corps are the ones who have no ability to claim sov. At the same time you need carebears and such. So allowing corps in your space. Setting red the bad corps. Setting blue alliances that want access.
Try to recruit the good corps.
