A- 3 or 4 has repeated the point of : Dont suggest to limit alliances because they can create alt alliances!!!!!!
this is true as a stand alone concept... but if the limit is linked to >>>>> READ: ONLY AGGRESSOR AND DEFENDER <<< are allowed to engage during the battle time. then you can have a billion alt alliances that are completely useless and have no role in defending your ihub / station
B- If you want to criticize, please let me know how you will abuse that or how the new idea will not achieve the main aim which is reduce the effect of blobbing
You want to know how it can be exploited?
Alliance A has 1000 people. They create Alliance B for the sole purpose of maintaining SBU's in their main ratting system. This renders them 100% safe from everything. A few dozen people ratting in carriers or supers will easily rake in enough money a day to maintain 24/7 sbu's in the system assuming even a 5% tax rate.
So basically, you have created a system where people can afk rat the best rats in the game in super-bling ships (like supercarriers) with 0 risk. Literally, 0 risk. See the problem yet?
That and you're making it so only megacoalitions can actually play the game and telling everyone who isn't NC., PL, or CFC to **** off and unsub.

I have seen several sandbox games that were purely player defined in its contents, without gameplay direction. They were all desolate hellholes. I wouldn't wish something like this on any player group in EVE Online.
I thought "desolate hellhole" is something that everybody around here takes pride in. You know, "go back to WoW" and all that sort of thing.
If desolate hellhole is the result of purely player-defined space, how does Eve already do it differently? I don't think that this game would suffer the end of SOV like that. Unless of course, the entire nullsec thing has always been all about farming and earning ISK (read: not much different from highsec) after all.

The answer to making sov tied to space usage is to remove sov. Just like lowsec, where a group can still live in and unofficially own an area.
Oh, and remove non-blops jump drives too.

Not really. If they changed SOV, power projection, and supers in a way that resulted in nullsec being broken up into a lot of smaller groups, and changed resourcing so groups would have to change SOV periodically, there would be a lot more fights. Right now we have a Black and White Cookie in NullSec and not much PvP content.

So bad and counter to the very nature of the sandbox that I suspect OP is actually DrysonBenningon in disguise.

Wow this is the dumbest idea I ever heard of. And watch me break this in 3 seconds
Alliance a is capped at 4k, they used to have 10k, so they split into another alliance of 4k. They decided they do not wish to be attacked, so alliance b 'invades' alliance a, thus making there space invulernable. When your lame timers expires and the 'invasion' is over, they just do it again. No one can attack either of them as they just keep 'invading' eachother. Red V. Blue do this pretty much every day.
Your idea is crap. Do yourself a favor, and look up 'Constalation Sov' ccp tried something like this, it was crap then, and this is still crap now.

Another way to ruin your idea. alliance a had 10k members, so it breaks up into 20 500 man alliances. each oen can sbu the 2 of the others systems, cyno jammer is no lonmger needed as if you just cycle your sbu's when 'battle mode' ends, no oen can freaking lock anything in any of there systems. Each alliance can have 40 systems in this mode at every time. 500m for an sbu is a drop in the bucket, no need for a srp, and anyone not in the 'invation' that enters any of the 40 systems gets killed. And they can't fire back.
Still a stupid idea. Lets implement it so goons and large alliances can just get richer.

Nope, what there would be is a whole lot more living in High Sec, history has shown that you can't make people fight in a video game by dangling resources in front of them.
People fight in a game when fighting is fun, trying to manhandle people into fighting has, in this game's past, not only resulted in less fighting but also in more people leaving null sec for other place in game that made more sense.
It's human nature to seek help, some faux game mechanic meant to 'break people up into small groups' will have the opposite effect.

I've been here for quite some time and I can say this:
breaking nullsec will result in a crapload of changes, tears, whining and end up in the same state we have today.
To change the nullsec mentality you need to change a very primal human mentality which is, to group up.

I have a cool idea i want to disclose here .. not sure if this has been brought out yet but here goes my brain fart:
> Reduce SBU timing to online to 1 hour, once sbu is onlined, a countdown of random 12 to 24 hours starts for the system to enter something called "Battle mode". Battle mode stay for 6 hours. Onlined sbu will vanish once battle mode is effective and can't be offlined to be re-used
> SBU cost is ~ 500 mill building cost
> Cap Alliance membership to 4000 members
> Only alliances with more than 500 members can online sbu
> All ships that doesn't belong to the alliance holding sov and aggressor alliance will automatically have their locking ability reduced to nill (yes u can't lock anything) and bombers will have their bombing modules offlined when they pass within the sbu'ed system (however, they can lock and shoot if I-hub / station
> Cyno jammer doesnt work when a system is sbu'ed
> you can't sbu more than 2 systems belonging to the same alliance within 24 hours
--- General Output after patching---
1. Sov will be reflecting Alliance military power not the coalition's
2. limiting alliance members will prevent all x-coalitions to reform into one alliance
3. More fights since small alliances (800 to 2000 members) can fight unorganized full alliances
4. Cyno jamming for sbu'ed system will prevent camping gates by blues to that alliance
In short ... having more blues will have no effect to sov taking and will be limited only to skirmish fights here and there over pos
I'm embarrassed to be in the same alliance as this guy.
Please accept my apologies for his outburst, we do our best to keep the crazy ones away from the forums but every now and again they do escape and well you can all see the results for yourselves. |

Ugh.
More "arbitrary this" and "arbitrary that". Limit this, change the timer on that, work .... MAGIC. Yes magic where some things are invulnerable.
Remove all SOV mechanics. Problem solved. Nothing that can be deemed as "unfair". No begging CCP for changes, and CCP can go and use the time for POS mechanics, balancing, new content, and other good stuff.
Let's go balls to the wall. It won't be the "end of SOV", it will be ... the beginning.
