For a lot of people I think the problem is having to be part of a mega entity, more so than who those entities are. So everyone joining Provi or HERO would just be more of the same.

Theorethically interesting but need to be careful because that might make jumping into a capital fight suicide, and therefore reduce a lot the number of engagements.
How many capital fights do we have a year now? Does it really matter if they get reduced? It seems like the only reason they exists is to sit around 9-10 months out of the year, and simply deter smaller engagements from happening.
For as much pain as it is going to cause, capitals (or at least supers), and insta-jumping half-way across the universe need to be head-shot and taken out of the equation. There is simply no way to allow them to be used as it currently stands and have any type of productive environment. Those that amassed the most of these wonderful massively unbalanced ships first have won the game.

Additionally, people keep quoting the number of members the large coalitions/alliances currently have and how they would use those numbers in any other system that is put into place. But if a system is made that allowed for more entities to be involved, how many groups would leave the larger coalitions to form smaller ones?
So the argument "durdurdur CFC/PL/N3 has 10,000 people and will still stomp anyone", is little more than chest thumping and irrelevant. If you think that all those members will still stand beneath you given the opportunity to do more, what do you think will happen? |

This gives you power projection within 5 jumps of your cap home base. It will take 10 mins to go 10 jumps, 20 mins to go 15j, 30 mins to go 20j, etc. This allows smaller alliances to be able to bring their full might to their borders relatively quickly, but larger alliances will have to sacrifice more and more. Think about the time you will need in order to jump your capitals back to your home base as well.
So it takes 2 hours to get there. They crush your face. Two hours to get back and everyone is home in time for dinner. Nothing has changed but a slight delay in your fate. Or anyone else's fate unless your part of the Big Three.
Until the equation isn't Caps > everything, nothing will change. |

If null sec is so large that the majority of it is empty and that people just can't play without being able to skip most of the travel, then maybe null sec needs to shrink to a more manageable size for the amount of players it holds. Then if it starts to become too crowded, slowly expand it over time.

I started a thread about creating a larger version of the stealth bomber aimed at targeting capitals here. |

I agree. We have already seen this done with ice belts. WH are similar to a degree. It should be the same with everything else. Static, infinite resources produce laziness and complacency.

Simply adding more systems would just result in the number of systems held by the current blocs being incremented by X. Maybe some small skirmishes to begin with, and then we are right back to where we are today.

EVE is more than a game. Why do you think people like The Mittani play it? Not to shoot red crosses for sure, so why? Cause in EVE we have a huge social experiment and it's amazingly interesting to watch it evolves. And guess what? In merely several years we've managed to repeat the history of the mankind from the Age of Discovery to the present. Dont you see the analogy between the current real life political map and EVE sov map? The forum dosnt allow for RL political discussion, so I'm not going into details. But seriously, the two worlds have very much in common. And the thing is - if we keep this frightfully accurate model (which is EVE) running for some time more, we have a chance to look into the future if our RL world.
Call me a madman, but if there's a 1% chance this time machine will work, then it's worth trying.
But if they change the rules, for the sake of "fun" or whatever, the precious model can get broken, and EVE turns into a mere game.
This is unfortunately accurate. Part of me doesn't want anything to change just so we can see how things would play out. It like looking into a little snow globe where one EVE year is equal 200 RL years. It is pretty awesome to see it unfold.
Mankind's future hangs in the balance on what happens within the next year in New Eden. The future is written in the systems of EVE. |

So you don't mind living in an apartment complex. That's fine. But, some people would like a spot to build their own house. Different strokes and all that. |

Also, it's still better to live in in apartment complex and work your way to the house of your dream, rather than sit at a city square and shout "government! give me a house! now! or else! I'll commit a suicide!"
Having the ability to work your way up would be fine. But that is not possible. Other than renting or somehow being graced by the larger blocs, you will never be able to own a piece.
