Er... according to both side's killboards, they're pewpewing each other anyways. Maybe not on the terms you or I'd like to see but let's be honest here. Propaganda aside, it simply is a major pain in the butt to grind sov and I (hate myself for saying this) feel for the average HBC/CFC grunt that has to do it in otder to get anywhere in this stalemate.
The cards are on the table now with the next expansion. There's not going to be any rework of the sov mechancis. It's now up to the coalition leaders to figure out something to do with it. SOLAR&pets will not be able to hold out forever and then what?
It's then either having a go at each other properly or loosing pilots to boredom because quite frankly, WarGames/Thunderdome will kill it for a lot of people. There is no point and no thrill in shooting inanimate sov objects and there is no point and thrill in showing up to prearranged fights, with prearranged doctrines and probably prearranged outcomes to keep the enlisted happy.
It's the nullsec version of everyone gets a cookie. Don't forget though that the days of coaltions held together by friendships are long gone, these are entities created out of strategic necessity above anything else.
Give people a cookie and they want to keep it and they will come for more (especially when there's the internet spaceship version of cutting throats involved) - it's the way we work.
Yes, resources - or much rather concentrating the important ones in one area - are a problem too and yes the force projection that will kick any newbros in the nuts with DDs and fighterbombers while being insulted in local is a problem as well. However these are problems from to long of a period of peace&blue rainbows, CSM inbreed and getting fat and lazy on the riches of moon goo.
The one thing that can fix nullsec faster than anything else is nullsec themselves, period. Offline everything and have a go at each other in a massive free-for-all armageddon. Sort out the new order on the ashes of the old trash later.

CCP will have to step up their game eventually but again, the cards are on the table. It's not gonna be this summer. Hats off to anyone who is willing to stick out another year of boredom at the minimum. |
