Yes, tie ALL industry activity to 'occupancy sov' - Invention, Research, Contracts, Manufacture - not just mining.
Reasons.
1. There are Station Taxes, System Index Costs, Contract Fees (isk sinks not set by players) and assets involved in stations used in systems that are not primary for ratting or mining.
2. Assets are moved in and out of these stations so 'no one undocks, no risk' is an invalid argument. The asset risk / reward ratio merits inclusion since a station flip and service denial is significant to the amount of resources held by industrial toons in the form of supplies & blueprints.
3. If you don't tie all industry activity to the Entosis resist factors then you are negating activity in a system design based on activity.
Small groups would be encouraged to upgrade and consolidate a system at a time strengthening defenses.
Large groups would still have to cover several systems due to their legacy of spreading out and prioritize system defenses or future station upgrades for consolidation.

Yeah, how dare people expect that the most dangerous space in the game would pay off better than L4 missions in highsec. This is the part where people can tell that you're just here to troll, by the way. People pick the best mission space like Osmon and blitzing it very efficiently and compare it to the worst ratting space in 0.0 which is low truesec and camped to hell and back. We all agree that 0.0 at the grunt level needs improving, but level 4's in the main are not that good outside of certain select LP mission hubs. And I also disagree with safe, look at Inaya next to Osmon...
You're comparing optimal Highsec to least-optimal nullsec. That's apples to oranges. Compare a -1.0 system to Osmon L4s and you'd have a fair comparison.

Since we appear to have gotten over the trollceptor we can finally have a proper discussion.
Industry index does need to be more than mining, because industry involves more. I wouldn't include moon mining or reactions though, because those can be done really easily, just a medium Caldari to react Atmo Gases and Evaporite Deposits and you immediately easy industry index, all you have to do is fuel it.
Research, manufacturing, and PI would be good though.

I hate to be that Pro Synergy salvage guy that knows what they're talking about - but - running in Osmon is actually less optimal than running SoE missions in Apanake or Lanngisi because there's higher LP rewards in lower sec systems for mission running...
But at the risk of being devoured by a blob of gankalysts should you exceed their shiny/ehp limits and without being able to use local as easily as you would in nullsec (you can still set reds from experience though) there is an obvious risk increase in taking your shiny (or not) mission boat into a 0.5 system and the relative blitzing speeds you can achieve... and you're further from Jita for when you want to sell your scanner probes.

Now, I know that EVE is not only played in these countries but the main timezones of relevance would probably be: UTC for Europe Moscow +3 Australia +11 PST -8 (USA west) EST -5 (USA east) For prime times, the 24 hour distribution looks something like: UTC RUS AU PST EST | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 0 +3 +11 -8 -5
I honestly donGÇÖt think 4 hours is adequate. You can see a couple of large zones around AU for a start, and even Europe and USA are too far apart. What about a system whereby the prime time concept is still active but this is a peak time, rather than cut-off? Perhaps according to GreygalGÇÖs suggestion of the extent of this window being defined by sov indexes. Or what about having it fade in and out, with a sliding percentage of structures being available for an hour or two either side of prime time? I am concerned about the AU timezone. I think AU players will become second class citizens in null. And yet I agree that sov shouldn't require a 24h defence. Perhaps a graduated approach could work.
It's kind of a stealth admission that the single shard has failed. If you have a system where realistically the only wars that can be fought are between 2 identical TZ alliances you may as well give them their own server to do it on. Otherwise like you said you just have a caste system where certain TZ are always stuck doing the one job of defending, or repairing services, or whatever. This already happens etc etc etc but now they are concreting it into design so are one step closer to admitting the failure.
This will become obvious when these changes are deployed onto the Chinese sever and everyone wonders what the point of this TZ window is.

Also, I assume you realise that the more people doing anomolies the more dangerous it becomes for each one (since the rats-per-hour glow on the map is intensifying and drawing carrion-birds, and as numbers reach a certain point, clever (Z-named) enemies can creep in system without being noticed)?

Completely ignoring that LP gets watered down as more and more people saturate the market with SoE items.
So no, the LP suffers from free market economics and devalues for every extra person running them. Whether or not that has reached it's peak yet is unclear due to market manipulations and the launch of the SoE ships just over a year ago massively inflating the LP/isk return.

And yet not everyone runs missions in Osmon or the other two SOE hubs. If we're comparing incomes, use a fair comparison. Max to max, min to min, or median to median (averages can be misleading so I prefer medians for income).

Yep, a lot of mission runners also do 'stupid' things like run for the bounties rather than LP blitzing - and these guys might also be trading in the LP they do earn in stores that directly compete with FW items. I even know of some mission runners that have the same 'free ore' mindset of bad industry players and use their LP to buy faction ammo because it's 'free' and helps them shave a few seconds off each site (did the math once and they were losing 5m/site doing this)
If EVERYONE in highsec that runs missions minmaxed for the best isk:LP ratio you'd see a very different market and the peak incomes would be a lot lower as a result of the increased competition. |

The problem here is that you are completely off base. You've convinced yourself that alliance boss types are keeping all the isk and that somehow they are the problem.
They aren't.
The problem is that I can go an make WITH A BOMBER elsewhere more than I can make with TWO faction battleships.
The problem is that I can go and blitz burners WITH A FACTION FRIGATE as long as my faction standing is about 8 and make more than I can with TWO faction battleships.
The problem is that I can make more (several times more) with 1 TOON IN A TECH2 FIT CARRIER blitzing lvl 5 missions than I can with 2 deadspace fit faction battleships. Hell, the carrier to carrier comparison between null and low sec lvl 5s is equally unbalanced.
The fact that legions of scrubs of using afktars to make 60 mil per hour on alts all the time (making null sec look like this huge great income generator) has nothing to do with the above testable and observable facts. The fact that you can crunch rocks oor do pi is also immaterial , most 'grunts' do 'combat pve' for income and that's what we are talking about.
The discussion about the obvious imbalances always gets obscured by the nonsense naysays who haven't even taken the time to test and observe for themselves. Because of this, the same people who spend all this time posting about how the imbalance (that they haven't even tried to test) doesn't exist thus don't understand how the imbalance WARPS everything CCP trys to do with null sec (and this is the prefect example, had it not be fore the existence of extreme alternate income generating activities outside of null like high sec incursions and mission farming and mission blitzing, what CCP believed would have happened might actually have happened and instead of being a rental desert, null might have been a more fun place).
And because so many of you are too blind to see the obvious (as CCP is, as evidenced by Fozzie thinking null is 'valuable' because someone wants to rent it), this new system will fail just as hard as dominion did as people remove PVE alts to other places rather than try to rat in congested systems (inviting pve ship losses thus exacerbating the already existing imbalances). |

More prime time questions:
Would the prime time timers on sov targets be blanket times covering all alliance/corp sov assets or would there be individually assigned prime time timers for sov targets so different time zones can take part in defense?
Any adjustment of prime times by calendar for weekday/weekend player behaviors?

If they're really dedicated to shaking up the ant farm, which they seem to be, I don't know why so many are assuming resource allocation is going to remain as is.
Even if an alliance owns the most valuable space now, doesn't mean that in Phase 3 or 4, other areas are made more valuable or Null itself normalized in terms of value to encourage flow of players and undoing years of stagnation.
I wouldn't be surprised if some resources got shifted around to make it just about impossible to monopolize them, so that every organization has to worry about their logistics and industry on some level. The "who cares about x space" and "small organizations will only get 'useless' space" mindset assumes that resources are not going to be looked at as well; and I doubt if a change is made it is going to be to buff the space of the mega rich.
Don't shoot the messenger, just saying that is a strange expectation given the paradigm ship I'm seeing; which seems to be promoting more inclusive, smaller, and distributed entities conflict and dynamics. The large entities can of course remain large, but there will pressure from capable members just going off and raising their own flag elsewhere rather than wait for scraps at the table. Take the whole trollceptor idea. Now it is conceivable that players can be ordered to go out and harass others on their own game time with no intent of actually holding the space.
But I agree with the folks that believe that will get old fast. I'll go further and say once all these guys see how empowering the new system is in claiming space, the next step to just breaking off entirely and just living in the space, keeping what they earn rather than being a drone. There will always be followers, but I see the potential here for a lot of grunts capable of doing better for themselves go out and do just that.
It'll be interesting to see if the powers that be can not only keep the galaxy under their thumb, but their even more valuable now line members and "pet" organizations. Keeping 1000's "in line" just got harder especially when the subcap guys got a whole lot more valuable.
Again there are some serious forces making it seem like the bigger you are the more likely you are to eventually break apart due to the stress of your own mass. |

I know.
In my alliance, I know where that isk goes: into an extremely generous SRP and ship subsidy program.
However I'm not so foolish as to discount that as "income". I want a fitted BLOPS BS - half paid for. A fitted dread? Half paid for. I lose them in a fight? Paid for.
THAT'S where that income is going - I don't think it is being trousered by a few. SRP and subsidies are SO generous I could get by on half assed PI alone and never want for anything.
To ignore the alliance propping us up like that, to not understand how that is an equivalent to income quite simply beggars belief.
I've never contested the bounty farming doesnt equal other areas of space - but who said it's meant to? Sure, risk/reward and all that....but that makes sense ONLY if we absolutely ignore the SRP and subsidy programs out there. You cannot look at a single income stream and ignore the others.
I dont actually want them to change it, either. If they racked up bounties to replace moon goo then I'd need spend more time doing soul destroying ratting instead of the fun stuff I enjoy today. The situation today is that the actions of many pay for us all. In return for this we defend these assets tenaciously in between casual pewpew - that's where the fun is at. Not sitting shooting red crosses looking at Osmon with envious eyes.
And you know what, no-one bitches about being poor either. Funny that. |

It's obvious that you never lived in null, because if you did, you'd know that due to each racial/specialty outpost carries an exclusive, specific role related bonus, you have systems with an outpost you exclusively use for either research, manufacturing, or reprocessing. You don't do it all in one system. Therefore these activities alone aren't good candidates for solely basing out industry index on.
And you can't change outpost types, or destroy them once you deploy them.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong, and that's probably related with your lack of prior experience of life in null. |

You are wrong because moon income is never abundant (nor it should be) and present on numerous amount of null moons enough to count as individual income. While you might be able to see individuals operating POS for themselves in sovereign null, you'll almost never see individuals making personal income from their personal POS mining out high-end moon goo.
Can a single individual defend a high-end moon all by himself? No, a single individual can never do that.
Therefore, a private individual will always have to rely on a group of players that can actually defend a moon through cooperation. That's where you have alliances come into play, because they are realistically able to defend such high-end moons, they end up owning them and using them for alliance expenses.
Besides, high-end moons have been nerfed heavily many cycles ago. They alone never provide an income stream that can keep a GSF-like generous SRP up and running. And the fact that I'm mentioning GSF SRP should be telling, because even that program, known for it's generosity, does not cover "all of your losses". Money always ends up coming out of player wallets.
Therefore, I'm sorry, but it's painfully obvious that as a person who has never taken up life in null before, you don't know what you're talking about and you're out of your element. |

I really dislike 'a friend of mine' or 'a friend of a friend' type of hearsay posting, therefore, I felt compelled to chime in as an authority on the points mentioned in your post.
I'm a member of the Goonswarm Federation SRP team and I do have plenty of experience with what you are describing as "afktar ratting" in your post. As a matter of fact, I routinely push out advisory ratting fits for mass alliance wide adoption, taking into account considerations such as cost, longevity, survivability in PvP encounters and ease of training.
With those said, when it comes to afktar ratting, an individual in a system with desirable truesec (very rare) and the best type of anomalies (very limited even in best truesec systems) is looking at 17m ISK per tick with maximum skills after alliance taxes. Before taxes, the figure is close to 20m ISK depending on the specific corporation (and their specific tax rate). Rat drops per anomaly are worth 2-3 m ISK on normal conditions and salvage is practically isn't worth anything. (Picking up drops and salvaging will take up your time, affecting your income)
So, could you tell me how 51M ISK per hour on an account through anomaly bounties is an extravagant amount of income? One can make almost two times this figure running L4 missions in high-sec! |

Having just listened to the soundcloud with Fozzie with Eve Down-Under, all stick and no carrot and the various other changes. Good luck with keeping peeps in 0.0 or ingame for that matter. I can really see no reason why i would want to stay in 0.0 or ingame with current changes.
And no.... you cant have my stuff, I may need it once they actually do something that makes me want to login again.  |

The CFC can currently break it if they want to. Nothing's currently stopping them.
PL, BL, N3... If they seriously wanted or cared to break people, they can.
The effort isn't worth it, because troll as they may, the fight will be elsewhere and they cannot maintain control of whatever they reinforce.
Let's say day 1, CFC reinforces everything in null. What happens day 2? As much as people like to say "we will camp you in and break you", nobody really enjoys it.
I wouldn't worry. Shrink and defend your space. Send people to more forward systems to act like a firewall (CFC tried to do that with Brave Newbies).
You should ask players older than you about Goon behavior. And while at it, take a good look at our coalition player base. Then reevaluate everything you've said, and you'll be closer to being factual. You are speculating wildly for the sake of your argument or posting with wishful thinking. |

I'm a member of the Goonswarm Federation SRP team and I do have plenty of experience with what you are describing as "afktar ratting" in your post. As a matter of fact, I routinely push out advisory ratting fits for mass adoption, taking into account considerations such as cost, longevity, survivability in PvP encounters and ease of training.
With those said, when it comes to afktar ratting, an individual in a system with desirable truesec (those are rare) is looking at 17m ISK per tick with maximum skills after alliance taxes. Before taxes, the figure is close to 20m ISK depending on the specific corporation (and their specific tax rate). Rat drops per anomaly are worth 2-3 m ISK on normal conditions and salvage is practically isn't worth anything. (Picking up drops and salvaging will take up your time, affecting your income)
So, could you tell me how 51M ISK per hour on an account through bounties is an extravagant amount of income? Well obviously you must appreciate I don't want to get my associate in trouble nor draw attention to my other toons hence why I post from this PS alt - but he pretty much showed me that he actually MADE MONEY from losing ships in PvP whenever he feels like it (aside from perhaps buying insurance and the initial purchase?). It was a fair time ago but within the last year as far as I remember, sadly I cleared my cache since then so can't link directly nor reference the spreadsheet I was shown (I'm sure it would get removed from the public eye if I did anyways).
51m/hr more or less passively (keep local visible whilst doing anything else on your PC) is an extremely good income for New Eden and even more so when you can pretty much just put it towards plexing your accounts or frittering away as you wish rather than replacing lost pvp ships. To be honest I'm pretty sure there are some suboptimal L4 runners that would look at that kind of income with a green glint in their eyes especially since they don't have to do all that active clicking to achieve it. I wonder what the L4 income for flying an afktar would be for comparison of effort/isk/hr?
The point is, very little effort for 50m/hr and you think that's poor widdle old me suffering in nullsec with my incredibly generous SRP program. My sympathy is suprisingly absent. |

Accept that as a baseline. This man understands Goonswarm Federation better than CCP does.
