I see we're completely skipping the 'make Sov worthwhile to hold and fight over' part of the revamp.
brb, drafting an unironic 'bring back POS warfare' post

The one saving grace of your dumb interceptor changes a couple of patches back was that they were merely useful in harrassment and at least you couldn't really do anything strategic with them.
But with this? Welcome to the age of the Entoseptor.

I guess what's most disappointing isn't what is in this proposal, rather what is absent from it:
- Any mention of being able to upgrade your space to encourage occupancy or conquest? Nope. The same old crap anomalies with the same old flaws and limitations, encouraging nullsec players to just log into their highsec incursion alts to make money like so many do now.
- Anything that either side can do to affect the battle in between reinforcement and the capture event? Any sign of secondary objectives or side-goals to carry out while you wait? Nope. Hurry up and wait, scrubs, no fun allowed for 48 hours and god forbid you have any alliance members outside the defender's chosen timezone, they're just deadweight.
- Any suggestion of nuance or strategic decision making in attacking sov? More than one way to storm the castle? Nope. Spam ento-ceptors to get timers, wait 48 hours, alarm clock for your opponent's primetime and then derp around the constellation capturing Sov Nodes whilst Yakkity Sax plays in the background.
- Any suggestion of nuance or strategic decision making in establishing or defending sov? Nope. Grind out your indexes as best you can to get the defensive bonus, CTA for your primetime and then derp around the constellation securing Sov Nodes whilst Yakkity Sax plays in the background.
- Any real new mechanics? Nope. You've pretty much grafted FacWar onto 0.0 and called it done. You're even recycling the IHubs and TCUs and sov indeces and fixed reinforcement phase from the system we have now. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Let's not call this a new sov system, it's effectively Dominion 1.2 with the EHP grind removed.
On the bright side, this can't have taken you much more than 10 minutes for you to throw together so it won't take long to rewrite something much better!

It'll be hilarious when literally every sovholding alliance in the game is having to pay off the CFC not to trash their space with an ento-ceptor horde out of boredom.

I have a minmatar militia alt that flies a purifier, and another alt with 3 carriers at a lvl 5 agent's station (with 3 I never have to light a cyno, just pod on over to the adjacent station and go). Yet another alt is in Lanngisi for missions.
I prefer null. I prefer anomalies, I'd LOVE to be able to LIVE in null. But when I need quick isk for a plex it's stupid to rat if Minnie is anywhere near tier 4 (hell, 3 in a pinch). It's stupid to warp a pirate BS to an anomaly when I can undock a freaking DRAMIEL in Lanngisi and make the same or more isk.
Attn CCP and Mike:
Please add the above quote to your super-secret internal metrics.

My alliance BUYING me a fitted capital....yeah, that's a few billion I'm NOT spending (well, covering half). Thus I view it as income, a benefit in kind - as the taxman would see it. That's nice for you? I bought my dread and carrier with my own ISK, and so has almost everyone else in this alliance. So all that demonstrates is different alliance distribute the moon income differently. Put another way - that's a player problem MADE by players. This is not CCPs "problem" to fix.
Capitals are alliance level assets used to further the goals of the organisation as a whole. There's a reason why they specifically give you the capital hull rather than a pile of ISK to blow on exotic dancers or interceptors to derp around in lowsec, because they expect you to give them a return on the investment by showing up to structure shoot/rep ops.
