If EVE has taught me anything, it's that people don't get what they deserve, they get what happens to them. The question is not "Do the alliances deserve to keep what they've got" - the question is "In what way does this change the game experience, and is that a change for the better?"

Reducing the vulnerabilities of the large alliances is a good way to reduce the amount of change that goes on. Allowing the large alliances to quickly move their fleets into position will increase the number of pilots they can bring to a big battle. POS jump portals are a step towards a more static game, and bigger blobs. Personally, I don't think that's good change.

If a large alliance wants to build 3 outposts in each of their 20 constellations (60 outposts) so they may have this ability across an entire region props to them because one day they will lose it all one day as their land value will have the eyes of thousands looking upon it.

Now we don't even know if it will go beyond the borders of a constellation. So until we get to test it why are we complaining already?

It's on the test server - it gives a five light-year range, and would allow an established alliance to use freighters to fuel their poses, without exposing those freighters to the hazards of travel through normal gates.

So it's a massive win for the mega-alliances in terms of allowing them to consolidate their pos networks.

The question is not whether this ability would be hard-earned and somehow morally virtuous. The question is whether the impact on the game experience is positive or negative. If you want a more static game with bigger blobs, this is a good change. I don't want a more static game, and I don't want bigger blobs.
