I'll back off on the corporation tax change. I don't hate corporations. It can stay. Everything else I stand behind and think would be good for Eve.

I don't see SRP as a problem as it encourages pilots to fly. What puts me off sov null is the fact that you have to join one of the existing alliances for any viable attempt at creating your own space. However creating your own space under sufferance of a greater power isn't independence. It's more akin to the client kingdoms the Romans set up in Britain. The tribes were in charge of their territory as long as the Romans told them they were, and that is how soc null appears to me now.

Rather than sov being governed by structures with payments made to CONCORD I would rather see a more dynamic system whereby you control a system by controlling all gates leading to that system. This would possibly be by some extension of the FW style play, or player built but relatively squishy plexes providing gate control. There would also need to be some means of stopping ships bridging directly into a controlled system (since bridges use WH's then a structure that can crash a non-natural WH as it opens should be possible due to its inherent instability). This would lead to large fights at gates across multiple systems (spreads TiDi) desperate attempts to forms bridgeheads, even more desperate attempts at defence etc.

This could at least give a new small alliance the opportunity to grab a chunk of space and have a hope of holding it with enough corpies. I for one would be more inclined to try that than simply bow before one of the existing entities. The only option for me right now is as a privateer sneaking in or for a small fleet to roam through trying to bring anarchy for the sake if it (not unappealing :D ).
