Many (myself included) are unhappy with the state of 0.0, but in a sandbox game how can you stop major groups from making Non-Aggression Pacts with each other without ground level changes to Sov.
I just have zero faith in the proposed changes
"More NPC stations"
- ok cool fine... It would help smaller gangs have a place to hide, and it would also help provide a convenient staging ground for the 500 man coalition rolling into your back yard.
"Occ. based sov"
- so renters will fill the void and if your not blue or renting, your sov structures you just paid 20b for are gonna die... sorry pay up or GTFO.
"Increased Player Density"
- means groups will have to join larger groups to hold their sov and cause further hegemony around EVE.
This will do absolutely zero to break up EVE into smaller groups and encourage more fighting (which I assume was the point of this farce). I can only think that CCP has something else in the pipeline to break up Nullsec and the larger rental empires are trying to get ahead of it with a popularity contest.
If you base 0.0 Sov holding off the number of members (so that smaller groups can have sov)what stops a larger group from walking in and nuking the Sov structures you just paid for?
I'm not even sure what the popular opinion states is the problem?
Is it a lack of fighting? Entities got creative, decided it was better to keep their space then possibly lose it. They needed the income to keep building supers, buy plexes etc.
What incentive is there to fight? The income from renters is a major motivator to do nothing, R64's never "run dry" nor change location and holding region x is pretty much the same as holding region y. The only groups to stay relatively neutral is Stainwagon (sovless), Black Legion (sovless) and Providence (soon to be sovless if N3/PL cared enough to take it).
I can get behind the NPC stations to a point, but thats about it. If you want to shake up 0.0, you need to go to the root of the problem and that is one word.
Income.
