Redistribute the Truesec in 0.0 so that constellations in Fountain and Delve aren't so completely and outrageously stacked while an entire region like Pure Blind, Providence, Geminate or Cloud Ring are so utterly beyond worthless as to make holding them more of a hindrance than anything else.
I was thinking about that... but I don't know how much good it would really do. I think if massive napped coalitions weren't so common, it'd encourage local warfare. But with them... it might discourage it even more by providing "county seats" from which big alliances could rule and rent out nearby "slums".

The whole thing is that as it stands, as someone in a smaller alliance with Sovereignty in both Fade and Cloud Ring, this sort of a change would remove -any- chance of even limited alliance independence from the major local powers. The fact is an alliance like mine can, under the current system, afford through some seriously tedious work to pay to improve our Supercapital assets, to pay for limited ship replacement and to turn otherwise bleak Truesec systems into viable ISK generators in the absence of R64's. With this change, any alliance of similar size forced to live in, for example, the ENTIRE REGION of Cloud Ring would not only be unable to afford the above, but would barely (And I do mean barely) able to scrounge together the money to afford costs on Sovereignty itself, let alone upgrades for the chronically underdeveloped (And never again viable) systems. After all, the entire new Upgrade system was DESIGNED as an ISK sink to counter the increased ISK generated by the people living in these systems.
Readjusting Truesec and Moon distribution would by and large generate the kinds of sweeping demographic changes that Greyscale is looking for better than turning systems small alliances hold and have already put in a great deal of time, effort and in game currency into making tolerable for living (If not living well) into exactly what you are describing, giant space slums where only those funded by deep pockets in Empire could hope be bothered to hold Sovereignty, if they would be held at all.
