What about applying penalties on a constellation boundary by constellation boundary basis. Let it be less expensive to move within a constellation and much more expensive to move across constellation boundaries. While developmentally appealing, the linear statistical proposal is less interesting than the CCP commitment to "lumpiness". Let "geography" including constellation boundaries be a factor in war planning. It would give value to the notion of a systems within a constellation.
Also, this might give an advantage to defending force arrayed to protect a constellation over an invading force. Most military strategies recognize a "home field" advantage of this sort. Present huge penalties for jumps across constellation boundaries but reduced penalties for in-constellation jumps.
And, tax heavily for gate jump fees based on mass. Gates don't grow on trees! Maybe even tie this to system payouts that make a system worth holding.
However, unless other changes occur, eventually, the large forces at the high end of the Gini curve will simply keep multiple fleets moth balled around their edges. Income inequality from which so many null sec players benefit will make it even harder for small forces to exploit other "real life" advantages such as nimble deployments IF you use a flattened scaling jump penalty. Promote different play styles for players at different levels of play complexity / maturity.

Lastly, I also love these changes because the very same null sec weenies who taunted high sec industrialists over previous insane changes can now salt my popcorn with their tearful lamentations. Of course, it would have been more fun had I not relocated to null. I feel like that Civil War era farmer who moved after one battle only to relocate to the site of a future battle.
