You want to make some areas of space better than other? That's fine. But don't do this by making 90% of the space absolutely crap.
 Quote:
26 of the 34 regions have at least one system in this security band, with half having 5 or more.
So you're basically saying that in your views, 8 regions will be completely useless and not even worth fighting for?
Sov upgrades are a good thing, as it doesn't matter what kind of space you conquer, you can always invest money into making it that much better. Say a new alliance grabs three systems, in a few weeks they can make these three systems as good (economically) as the core systems of a long-estabilished alliance.
If the new system is implemented (which I serioualy hope not), the major powerblocks will sit on the best systems and barricade those so that nobody else will ever be able to get an Ibis in. And if someone tries to take over the "crappy" systems (read: 90% of EVE), they will end up with an income stream less than running level 4 missions in empire. How exactly are they supposed to compete with powerblocks having 8 sanctums in every system?
You don't understand you don't need to bring conflict into 0.0. There is enough conflict going on without you messing with the game. You need to incentivize people to go out to 0.0 and fight in these conflicts. You won't do that by making sovereign space worse. If a sanctum can keep N people in ships as soon as they lose them in combat in the current system, the same will be true in the new one. But there will be way less sanctums - so less people across the universe will be able to fight and not have to grind NPCs all day.
...or is that the combat you want to bring to 0.0? Just a glorified empire with missioning hubs here and there, and leagues of useless space inbetween?

CCP: "Let's rebalance TII components to stop the dyspro monopoly"
Players: "No, these numbers will result in an even bigger bottleneck with Tech"
CCP: "Meh"
*CCP rebalances TII components*
*Tech price shoots in the sky*
CCP: "Let's make POS structures player-built"
Players: "People will reprocess them for profit"
CCP: "Surely nobody would think about that"
*CCP makes POS stuff player-built*
*People reprocess it for profit, bringing trilions into the economy overnight*
CCP: "Let's nerf 0.0 anomalies"
Players: "That will do no good, only make people leave 0.0"
CCP: "We know what we're doing"
...can you see where this is going?
