You can't sneak a base, you can't do anything but reinforce an asset and then turn up at the allotted time for the battleground...
The only difference to WoW battlegrounds is in EVE the battlegrounds start after 24 hours when everyone is on for the zerg.
There is some merit to this point tbh.
It should be noted that removing the timer based system would definitely hurt the larger guys that hold most of sov (and hence have everything to loose) while not hurting the "little guy" since he doesn't have space to loose anyway. |

So, let's got through this:
1) Removing timers (may or may not be a good idea) would make defending space harder. 2) The big guy currently has lots of space to defend. 3) The little guy currently has no space to defend.
Hmmmmmm....let's think.....whom does this change hurt more? Sure the little guy might not be able to hold space (with or without timers) but he may be able to take space for a little bit, which is a better situation than what is currently on tranquility.
And infinity ziona does have a point, it is an arbitrary themepark mechanic. You do convert arbitrary systems into battlegrounds at the appointed hour. |

I'd like to point out that the title of the thread is "Null sec what chance does the little guy have," and that npc nullsec is an excellent area where the little guy thrives. Further, all npc nullsec is conveniently located near sov space, so if you ever want to **** on a nullbear or renter, the opportunity is readily available. |
