With the amount of Caldari mission runners, what will prevent Hi-Sec from becoming a Caldari dominated sone, and FW to become Caldari blobfests? This is not an anti-caldari rant, just an honest question. (2 of my 3 chars is Caldari)
Umm... the Motsu crowd are going to find the learning curve steep, very steep. Some corps/alliances have been doing this kind of thing for ages, I even know of a corp that moved to 0.0 to prepare for FW. Rookie FCs (I have a little experience in doing) are going to be torn apart more likely than not.
It also sounds like there are mechanics in place that reduce the ability for sheer numbers to be the determining factor in taking the control nodes.

I was afraid that would be the answer, but thanks for the clarification. Now, this of course makes me wonder... were we to try and "liberate" a system of empire sovereignty, would that be possible? Or will it for example be a binary system, e.g. one solar system belongs to either Caldari or Gallente?
I understand that upcoming blogs will deal with the concrete mechanics, but as some food for thought... constraining these mechanics to certain restricted localized areas does not exactly strike me as logical, from the "EVE as a sandbox" point of view.
In the same vein, neither does a binary sovereignty flipswitch. Influence, growing and diminishing, stems from more than just the NPC factions.
Concerns that this might completely mess up planned and existing prime fiction could easily be amended by employing a GM "admin" team that maintains these dynamic objectives, deciding where and what is conquerable according to prime fiction. As is the spirit of EVE, however, it should always be the players that write their own history... Eh, nevermind the last part, can of worms.
Carry on with the good work.
I am sorry? Are you trying to keep your sec standing up? Worried about not being able to go into High Sec because you are attacking military targets of the Empires?
You have chosen to play an anarchist revolutionary terrorist. You operate a NRDS policy yes, but you are also targeting the empires and those working for the empires. Guess what ... you might lose sec status to do what you want. You might just have to become outlaws.
I respect that you have chosen this course of play, but you just might have to suffer consequences for wanting to tear down the governments of the cluster.
Don't take it from me - talk to one of your own : Tatsue Nuko*
Yes I know she is no longer in SF, but Stim from my understanding is a group that broke away.

Obviously this is a pvp focused expansion, but are there be incentives for industrials to set up offices and work in the new low sec areas (in my corp's case Black Rise)? While the jump freighter will make it possible to supply 'market hubs' in the warzone, would it be worth it to smaller industrials setting up a shop inside these areas or is the distribution of resources going to remain the same and so less frequented low sec will be just as useful (yes some industrials mine and operate in low sec).
Also asking this for my friends in the 4th who have not yet asked : with the factional bucket being similar to the alliance bucket, will corporations in alliances still be able to sign up or will their alliance have to disband to allow the corporations to take part as corporations? Or will this be answered in the next DevBlog?
