Just a general question not directed at anyone alliance in paticular.
Just how much space is really needed for say an alliance of 800 or so?
Yah Yah I know the general smack answer is "all of it" or something simular.
But really in my eve career I have been in 3 alliances. 1 that had a small amount of space but always seemed sufficent most of the time. 1 that seemed that it spanned all over the frickin place but always seemed 90% of it was empty and one that generally seemed about right I guess.
But in general it always seems if you fly around .0 just about anywhere 99% of it is empty cept for home systems and maybe 2 jumps surrounding them.
Why is it then that it seems most alliances will put up an outpost then put up the next 5 10 jumps away and next 5 10 jumps away and so on?
It seems this would be alot more difficult to defend logistics and whatnot.
Is it cause each alliance member needs or thinks they need a system of their very own for ratting 24/7? I know it isn't cause of mining. I mined a good amount in .0 and besides the new drone regions have yet to see one mined out (and no I aint talkin of veld) aknor in the systems it spawns never seen mined out.
Is it just for something to do? Maybe going for choke points?
Without really trying to single out any alliance looking at say bobs space and what was lv's space and now goons/ra's space. It spans so much I dont get the purpose in trying to control it?
Just currious what the view points on it are.

sorry I should have left the names bob lv goon out of it. they really have nothing to do with what I am asking nothing more than an example.
I could go in the past and name more than a few alliances that have controled vast spaces or tried to anyway. Some for long periods of time some for short.
using the current names was nothing more than a current example.

hmm seems would technically be the opposite really but thats my opinion.
seems if you had 800 hard core pvpers they would need only a small space to live in. then ur enemies are nice and close with the ability to keep the pvper's interested with raiding parties ect.
with average players a large open space that gives alot of ratting mining ect would be preferable.
Now the renting thing I guess I can understand that makes sence.

that statement kinda confuses me really.
I wasn't aware that a system make isk? but how the people use it.
I mean a hard core ratter (of witch I am not lol) can make some good isk simply cause of the time they spend ratting. Same with miners. although I realize that different ores obviously make different profits.
As far as a complex well yah I understand that it's fairly self explanitory.
Personally I always actually made more isk in empire trading than I ever did in .0. (although .0 is more fun)
I can also see i guess a bunch of hard core ratters needing a fairly large amount of space though I also see the same group typically having a hard time holding on to it.
