Just thought I'd throw some thoughts out, think we need all the comments we can get on such a game-changing system.
First, absolutely 100% capital underlined NO on the Prime Time nonsense. This has to be one of the worst ideas that have come forth from CCP in the 5 years I've been around. Why in the world would you want to DISCOURAGE alliances from recruiting contributing members from other timezones, and on the flip side why would any corp want to join an alliance where they wouldn't feel like they make a contribution just because they aren't in the right timezone? This is just blowing my mind, it's a huge detriment to the single shard universe concept.
Second, I do agree that nullsec needs a large overhaul, but I have a few problems. What you have laid out sounds over-simplified, childish and halfassed for lack of a better word. After reading the ideas, I am starting to wonder if any of you actually play the game or you just throw out ideas that might work without knowing what you are talking about. That being said, if we knew what was coming in the future we may not feel that way and you should lay out your vision better (I know it's a work in progress).
This much of a change should honestly be released as a true expansion, along with new content and ALL of the supporting elements such as a capital rebalance (which will obviously be needed) and the POS changes. Releasing one without the other would be like giving your child 1/3 of a bike and promising to build the next 1/3 at some point in the future, then you'd focus on the last third. Ya it's great having that first 1/3 as the child and thinking it's awesome, but it's a broken piece of crap without the rest of the vision.
So please consider just doing like an end-of-year true expansion with these MAJOR changes and adding new content. It would make more sense, and would allow more time for refinement and community input to make it truly good. This is huge, and will have very serious consequences if it is a complete piece of garbage.
