Thinking your not living in 0.0 which is cool so not going to flame you.
Okay, it is not really about KB ratios but rather are you willing to die and enage others for your space when it has sov threatened. Also, can you afford to replace your loses or are you losing so much in assets you need to retreat before you go broke.
For Alliances like United Legion, they hold their space and contribute to the Red Swarm Federation - RA , Goons & TCF. I think of United Legion as key part of RSF even though they lack a letter :)
As for Hyrda, this was answered by their allies in this thread, if they contribute and pull their weight and are holding SOV then I guess they must be doing something right.
Also you need to know that a number of strong alliances have smaller Alliances / Corps in their space that on their own could not hold space in 0.0. But that could probably also be said even for strong Alliances if they did not have Allies.
FYI: Examples of a strong small Alliance holding SOV would be Stain Empire.

Hey there
Its also important to understand that if you want a really low Kill ration you dont undock or engage. This is also one of the best ways to lose space when push comes to shove.
Also KB Ratios are not as a rule correct especially when the Board you are checking tends to have mixed fleets. The reason being that if my KB shows a kill done by 10 Ships and 1 was lost but only 2 ships involved in the kill will be posting loses on my board it sort of skews the numbers.
But in the end its not just about Kill Ratios its actually about who is ready to put their assets and time on the line to hold space. This means doing logistics, tearing down hostile POS and enaging both fleets and causing grief in your enemies farming areas.
Also some players care more then others if they get killed and may or may not be more likely to put either cheap or shinny stuff on the line. In the Swarm its very common to have players go on suicide attack runs in any thing from Frigates to Battleships. For others like Tri, they roam all areas of EvE in their Nano Snake gangs looking for fights knowing they might get killed and podded.
But there are others that when they finally find themselves under attack they fold as SOV holding entities. Some Alliances have had to face harsh realization that they mostly recruited farmers that have no intention to fight.
So its not really about how many Kills you get but rather when a fight comes to your systems do you fight if its realistic so you can hold SOV.
Fly Well

You have no clue what is involved in either pvp or holding sov space. to be blunt its funny how players spam on characters that have nothing to do with the game.

Yea but its also not pure black & white naps either, you dont have many Alliances that share the same exact Blue standings even if they are allied. I think though that many are just hoping that at the end of the War with BoB that the universe can get let naps and more red.
