i do believe the current mechanic for sov is bad, but any proposed changes ive seen so far would cause to many problems so i thought i pop on and put forward my own proposal.
The problem seems to be how easy it is to defend huge regions of space with little to no risk, the risk needs to be bought back into the game, were a small band of stolheart warriors can cause major problems, tho when i say small i don't mean a gang of 5 ;) small these days is prob 100 with caps.
My idea comes actually from a post about how easy it is to travel for defenders and how hard for aggressors. I believe all stations and substations should be linked via subspace or how ever you want to call it, so that its possible to break a link in a chain to disrupt operations of many systems.
so your home base is your base of operations, then you have this link to another station, which is then linked to another and so on, if that a link is then broken along that line you lose communication with your other stations further down the link, which would mean you could no longer jump to them or activate anything other than modest defenses at a nerfed rate. This would mean the more space that you held the harder it would be to hold on to them.
As however the problem of alliances means this could be maneuvered around, so all corps that join a alliance must have there Home pos links to the alliance Pos, this would mean if the link between the Home Pos and the Alliance Pos was broken, then they would suffer default nerfs to there shield and damage of all there items of say 25% or you could nerf the base shield and damage of pos and have it as a 25% bonus for being linked to the alliance HQ.
Each link would follow the stargate system and have a module (ie the sovereignty claim thingy) that's needed to be in each system separating in order to be linked. |

Actually the fact that this is my main, and that i can only play casual due to my work and stuff, means i have no interest in actually joining a null sec alliance, hence the reason why i am impartial in this matter as it wouldn't effect me but as i had the idea i thought i would post it non the less. |
