You mentioned that the Entosis link will have low fitting requirements, and not disable propulsion while active.
What is there to prevent massive hordes of T2 entosis fitted interceptors from completely swarming an area and putting entosis links on everything?
All the ceptor has to do is stay within a 250km bubble of the objective, and even if hostiles show up, you just have to MWD around for 2 minutes. If the enemy is trying to entosis your objective, do the same.
What's to stop a large group from putting 1000 nerds in interceptors, and just burn through 100 systems in 1-2 hours? You've made sov easier to take, but that works both ways.
Any small group that slights a big group can expect all their space reinforced in less than 30 minutes. By interceptors.
So the future of Sov warfare is inteceptor with sov lasers, slippery petes to kill interceptors, and absolutely no fleet on fleet fighting.

We fought off PL for a month instead of negotiating a NIP with them, does that count?

Get some brick-tanked Hictors with those links on the command nodes backed up by some cruisers with good tracking. 
By that you mean Tengus and Eagles, because nothing else can track ceptors at 240.
Meanwhile they can use Slippery Petes to kill your Hictor that you can't rep.

Here's an idea, what if they were battleships only.
It would give battleships a reason to be flown, and not make sov into a giant game of "catch the ceptor"

If someone puts a thingy on your station to reinforce it and you put your own thingy on it then the progress is paused. So now you have a battle. Kill their guy and they have to put another one on it. To me it doesn't seem like ceptors will cut it and i think you're overreacting.
This change promotes smaller skirmish fights. Don't be such a whiney bunch of bears.
Real attempts to take sov will still escalate to epic cap fleets and t3 fleets.
There won't be fights because the optimal way to do things right now is with ceptors, petes, and Svipuls fitted with T2 sov lasers. Or with disposible T1 frigates.
If they come for you, you run for the duration of the cycle, then repeat the process elsewhere. Or you use T1 frigates and just send hundreds of the things into enemy space, they will miss a couple.
