The whole purpose of removing Jump Bridges was so conflicts could arise locally and it would be difficult for a few active directors in a powerbloc to hold so much space, thats why your leaders and every other NC leader is angry at the suggested change because in effect it makes NAPs pointless due to travelling and maintenance of space without ease.
You speak as someone who has never experienced deep 0.0 travel. I trust based on your statements and corporation this is your main. If you get a moment, then please do this:
-Acquire a digital map of the eve universe without a sovereignty overlay, but with security statuses.
-open it in a simple imaging program. (If you're using a Microsoft Windows operating system, open your start menu and type "paint" into the search bar. Select the only option you should get, and when it opens, click "file," then "open." Find the file and double click it to open.)
-Using a pen(or brush) tool, draw a line around the first 5 systems in any direction outward from the center that show, after their name, the number *0.0*.
-Then, again with the same tool, pick your color of choice, and randomly click that area outside the amoebic-shaped ring you just drew, for about 3-7 seconds depending on how far into the future you're looking.
This exercise will have showed you what the sovereignty map will look like, if your concept of logistical nerfs were to see fruition.
Let's be honest, you'll go 40 jumps to ruin the day of someone who claimed sovereignty in your sector of the universe, but you won't go 40 jumps to source the minerals or modules for/of the 1600mm Artillery IIs you need to do it. This is because larger scale logistics are required for larger scale corporations and alliances.
What you think your proposing is a dissolution of blocs, what you're actually seeking is the dissolution of alliances in general. So long as there are people, where there are enemies, there will be enemies of those enemies, and they may as well be friends. Corporations bond together to form alliances, alliances form blocs. Corporations will still form blocs if there's no alliance mechanic, based on mutual interests, and agreement on what alcohol tastes best on Tuesdays.
Sovereignty will be held by the most powerful blocs still, and will only be however far people feel like reaching to live. And those people will control the trade routes to the outer areas, denying access to the smaller entities anyways.
And when people try to etch their name in space, they'll get it, but for the 4 days it'll take to take the system from them. Because even if no one wants to run from Period Basis in a Mammoth to get the Hydrogen Isotopes their jump freighter didn't being enough of, You could hide in Jove space for all anyone cares:
Someone will still find a way to get there just to f*** your day up.
