Well this is a nice little band aid on the idea of fixing sov. How bout we actually talk about the real issue here.

Moons.

Why are alliances in the space they are? It's not cause of the pretty lights. It's cause of the money. The moons or access to materials in those areas. I started playing this game only a few years ago but my goal was to be able to make Tech 2 items. Well i cant do that. I am forbidden to moon mine high end materials. Either its controlled by my alliance and thus I have to buy it or it's in the hands of people, that on my own, I cant overthrow.

So though the letter of occupancy based sov is nice and I support that, minus the addition of the free jump bridge network, AKA more NPC stations. The real truth is that you have to look where the money is to fix the real issue.

My idea. Pretty simple. That high end moon.... well after a week it runs dry. Goes barren for a week and then comes back as some other resource, but not what it was. So no one resource can be harvested twice in a row. So all those precious moons that alliances covet so much are suddenly limited and not static to one area of space. Now EVERYONE can get a crack at the T2 market.

The walls of sov would quickly break. Groups would be forced to scan moons, hunt moons, defend moons or attack moons.

Corps could keep their space. In all honesty no one cares about the actual space. It's strictly the resources it provides.

What would this do?

Lots of gang fights. People fighting over moons and resources. You wouldnt need HUGE capital fleets to flip a station. The station is no where near as important, if the resource in that area isn't fixed.

PVP would increase on a huge scale. Fights would no longer be over certain space, but owning more space.

This benefits people like myself as an industrial person but forces me to get into PVP if I wish to defend my materials. It also means that the area I call home wont be a risk of lose so much, but will more far more active while people hunt resources.

Could the need of occupying sov space to claim ownership not simply be avoided by multiboxing?

There is one aspect of this proposal that is not explored: what if the proposal isn't some underhanded manipulation to serve the signatories, but indeed a honest attempt to help the little guys enter nullsec.

We have statistics that only 10% of the WoW population raided in heroic difficulty (killed one boss), so the hardest WoW content still retained some exclusivity and requires some skills to complete.

In EVE, 60-80K pilots are in nullsec alliances and renters. That's already over 20% of the accounts. Allowing even more "little guys" (scrubs) to nullsec by nerfs would make the "Dark PvP Game (TM)" literally much easier than WoW.

Do you honestly want players who failed in WoW to come to EVE because it's easier? Should we get to the point when WoW raiders yell at people who failed "go back to EVE"?
