When CCP comes up with a system that takes the basic concept of "occupancy" and uses it as a mechanic everyone start whining about how it will ruin everything. Seriously guys calm down if it doesn't work out guess what? it will be fixed in a couple of months because of the shorter release schedule. Give the system a chance first before going "IT'S THE END!"
I mean seriously every time CCP changes something to do will null sec its "the end of null sec as we know it," and yes that is true but just because it's the end of one system doesn't mean the new system is going to be complete trash.
Damn, sorry for the minor wall of text.
Occupancy sov which has been asked for in multiple ways and venues implies that one needs to live in a system to even be able to claim the system. In this proposed one, no one needs to live there, they just need to orbit a few FW buttons to save the sov and keep trucking straight after that.
Blobbing also won't go anywhere, spreading 3000 pilots to 7 systems is still over 400 pilots per button orbiting, no small entity will be able to even try to capture a system in this model. Toss in three dozen supers on that button and unless you're willing to get get all the supers in every system in the constellation to be dropped on you, you might not want to enter the plex.
(Yes, using FW terms because this is exactly how FW works without the need to point a lazor beam at a floating box for 2 minutes prior to orbiting said button.) |

Oh, CCP, are you going to change your node balancing also? As far as Iremember, you are throwing systems on a server based on activity and if you have a whole quiet constellation, it has a high chance of ending on the same node either partly or fully, creating a situation where a single node has to handle the thousands of players even if they span multiple systems?
Easy way to demostrate: get 3000 pilots travelliing through lowsec in 2 clumps, you will have 3-9 systems around the route in TiDi even if no pilots have been in them for 20 minutes. |

Think from the perspective of an attacker wanting to capture alliance held space that is only vulnerable during EUtz.
UStz and AUtz will be completely excluded from any ability to be useful or participate. the same scenario would apply for defenders as well.
How is this different than properly stronting a timer, or a POCO timer? Defender picks his advantageous time, and everybody adjusts accordingly. BECAUSE OMG IT'S DIFFERENT AND HARD AND CCP ARE KILLING MY PLAYSTYLE AND MAKING SOV WORTHLESS!!!!!
No, sov is largerly worthless already, only thing the vast majority of buffer zones allow you to do is get an early warning that a Random Legion is knocking on your door.
Then again, I'm sure Test could live in a region full of -0.05's just because it's sov. |

Then again, I'm sure Test could live in a region full of -0.05's just because it's sov. TEST can stand on it's own without aid from 15,000 other people too, collapsing 2 alliances into iself, and being under the thumb of Mittani too. Now if we are done measuring e-peen, sov isn't worthless. The people that own the majority of it have turtled up and decided that it's in their best interest to be friends and make money off of it without actually using it themselves. This is nerfing that, and will hopefully bring about a more active and dynamic sov ecosystem where gudfites are easily found and people deploying across the map for fights because they allied with everyone next door is a thing of the past.
I fully agree on your point, you needed 19 000 this round with multiple alliance smore collapsing in Catch just to get a random piece of sov.
In the new system you will be able to take sov without own forces alone as you'll outnumber lots of other null dwellers already so I guess that's a plus. |

I'd just like to pop in to say that when changes force entities who are notoriously neutral in their alignment and allegiance (snuffbox, Tri.) to blob up you have a winner system. |

Put Entosis Link behind F1, problem solved. |
