Let me start out by saying, I do not own a capital ship nor do I plan on buying or flying one for awhile.
I would like to propose a way to reintroduce capital ships into high sec and not just into 0.5
your presence in high Sec would depend on 2 things; Security Status and Faction Status.
In order to bring a capital ship into a specific High Sec system, you must first have sufficient faction standing for whatever faction controls that space. This would follow on similar lines as POS's do currently a standing of 5.0 for 0.5 systems, standing of 6.0 for 0.6 systems, etc.
In order to bring a capital ship into High sec at all would require a sec status of 1.0 for 0.5 systems, 2.0 for 0.6 systems, 3.0 for 0.7 systems, 0.4 for 0.8 systems, and 5.0 for 0.9 systems. No capitals in 1.0, after all these are ultra security systems.
This system would hinder mass migrations of people into high sec in capital ships. People in capital ships would be restricted as to where they go, and therefore it would still be difficult for use of capital ships in highsec warfare but not entirely impossible. Lets remember, in order to enter high sec you need to first have a sec status of at least 1.0, then you at a minimum would need a faction standing of at least 5.0 for the system itself.
All in all I think this is a fairly decent start

The only question I would have is "Why?"
Besides that, your system sounds very good and I think the POS system has worked well too. It certainly makes owning a capital in hisec more difficult for some, although people like pirates or mercenaries may find this unfair (I neither support nor hate pirates, just saying don't forget they pay for this game too).
This does open up an interesting option for PvE as well though, in the point that missions could be developed for capitals in hisec, as well as tougher exploration sites and so on. My only other issue with this idea is lag. Barring 1.0 systems is a good step, particularly in order to keep trade hubs clear of these monsters. However some hubs aren't 1.0 systems and could suffer heavily from having warring corps post capitals outside hubs, fighters and all.
Other than that, dreads in hisec would add a new element to taking down POS's in wardecs, but that also makes high security less...well...secure. It's a touchy topic, but I'm for exploring the possibilities. Don't forget that you don't necessarily have to allow all capitals, maybe just dreads and carriers, not supers-cs and titans. |

Yea I wouldn't think super caps belong in high sec. This was really a way to get dreads into high sec to bash at those POS towers, it would make high sec wars more interesting and deadlier. Carriers I really dont know, but if dreads are allowed its only fair i think to allow carriers too.
I guess I meant the security status as a reward for players that can be trusted to behave in high sec. Afterall would concord really let pirates into high sec with capitals?

What does a neutral triage alt have to do with pirates?

Actually I did find a problem with this...
Small Corporations.
As it stands, fending off a fleet of battleships is not easy, but doable. When you add capital ships to the mix, you easily knock out half of the small corps and POS's capable of defending. Capitals are immensely expensive, hard to produce, and skill intensive. Building a BS fleet isn't.
I'm not saying that a little bit of bullying is bad...we have that already after all and it goes just fine. However alliances could seriously disrupt small-scale operations in hisec space. Where hiring mercs now is viable, how many of these corps could afford hiring mercs with capitals? This is mostly a balancing issue and, as I said earlier, it kinda makes high security less secure.
(Of course you could go with the cure all: make everything nullsec. Fixed!)

Expensive is entirely a matter of perspective. There are numerous players who can afford a cap fleet of ships and still have piles of isk to spare. Don't be fooled into thinking all of these players live in null sec either. Allowing cap ships into high sec would end high sec pos one corp at a time as 10 guys dual boxing carriers could easily handle 50-70 man bs fleets which is larger than most empire corps can muster.
This is an awful idea that has no real thought beyond "Hey thought would be neato" |

Some people prefer to stay in high sec and do war decs there so they don't have to worry about capitals.
Terrible idea, not supported.

And people farming L4s with fighters. Hi-sec defo needs that too.
Also I believe that hi-sec corps should get their POSes attacked by dreadnaughts and motherships.
