If stabbed plex farming is so safe, why are there all those lossmails on their boards? |

You have had a lot of *epic* fights on hubs I take it since it is the only mitigating feature you deemed worthy to mention? Hubs were intended to be brawl sites, just as unrestricted plexes were .. but fact of the matter is that hubs do not see any fighting whatsoever, militias wait for their TZ and then grind the EHP with little to no interference, the most one can hope for is a pirate gang or two sniping away.
How is it CCP's fault that the defending militia doesn't show up to defend their hub? If you want to let them set a reinforcement timer, who gets to decide it? |

So iHubs cause large fleets or fecking capital ships to appear at a point in space visible on the overview at various times, and you want to do away with that in favour of yet more plexes?

Cearain. It looks like you basically want a channel with even more free intel. Isn't local, dotlan, the contested status of every system, beacons visible on the overview, and the Dscanner not enough? |

But I will answer your question: Its obviously not enough since the mechanic is clearly a pve mechanic. The first step to making it pvp, as XG says, is to have someone show up to contest the plex. Well the first step in doing that is letting people know where they need to go to contest the plex.
Having your militia providing intel is a pve mechanic. Having NPCs do this for you is a pvp mechanic. Ok.
I wouldn't mind a notification to say that plexes are being run in a system. But having a perfect rundown of your enemies fleet composition every time they pass a plex gate seems a bit much. |

I think some people might chase the farmers just out of principle, or to protect their Tier level. Which of course would only matter if they do LP farming themselves. Because as we've more or less established, hardly anyone cares about non-strategic systems that aren't lived in by someone.
Also timer rollbacks makes rabbit chasing *slightly* more rewarding. If you drop in on a guy with 1 minute to go on a novice and he runs, he's now lost 9 minutes of his gametime and you only need to spend 10 minutes instead of 19 if you want to cap the plex yourself.
Also I'd really like better Ihub upgrade bonuses. The only one that even feels relevant to me is the halved station repair cost. |

My view is that people don't care about the fw sov game outside their base system, because the game is broken. If the fw sov game were fixed people would care and they would fight for all the systems. Its no different than any other game. If the game is a good one people will try to win. If its bad/broken they won't care.
Well Its already been said why people aren't too pushed about Sov. Current benefits are -docking rights. But you only need this for a few HQ systems where you keep all your stuff -LP rewards. Which you only care about if you do any plexing. -IHub bonuses. Probably too weak to care about at present. -A shiny medal if you capture everything. Possibly too little reward for too much effort, and its all or nothing.
