I'm going to TRY and be as constructive as possible, especially since I have no better clue about how to fix Sov then you all seem to. Here are the problems with your capture the flag that I've seen within the first few minutes of reading this.
Time zones: you have created a system that will force time zones into a specific role. Either attackers or defenders. Those of us "in between" guys are being left out (I live in Alaska for instance). We will see even bigger collations (NC. EU, NC. US, NC. AU, ect) to make this work or it would pointless to be in a multi timezone alliance. A possible fix for this is to make it so corps can pick the vulnerability window, not the alliance.
Lazer sov hacker modules: this trips me out. You guys force a single solution with this (as it stands). Cepters orbit at 250k. No fight, no problem. Get three or four cepter guys per group and watch them go out reinforce a region with virtually no way to stop them all. My first though was to find a ship that can survive the 2 or 10 min activating time, of course that would be marauders, ****, Aeon or Wyvern. You have forced two separate types of game play. No in-between. Either a brawl fest (aka...gg goons) or a cepter fest. After that, it becomes a "meet me on the undock) mentality or again, orbit the station and try and catch me. The risks make choice quite simple, cepters all the way. The rewards don't seem to be there at all. Why? Why do this? Most of us want fights. Not just good fights but fights for a reason.
The biggest lack of resources in the game is decent FC's. Now, unless you get some guys who casually play cepters(no offense cepter dudes at all but my 120 mil SP wants something other then that) taking "flags", you need 10's of FC's per time zone for the battles. I realize the server strain and am utterly amazed about how you created a game that has the capability to field thousands of players in a single fight.
Capitals, I know you guys haven't "balanced" them yet but wow...way to really make me feel unimportant. Number one goal for a lot of people is to fly the biggest, baddest ship in the game. We spent YEARS...myself 8 years making that action possible. We ARE your player base that has stuck with you through the years.
As I said, I really don't have a better idea but I don't think capture the flag (as it stands) will work at all.
