Anyone complaining about their ships being 'locked away' has no ground to stand on tbh. You dont have to base on the front line, you can still contract 'locked out' ships etc for sale, use an alt to pick them up or just use a staging POS with corp hangars/ship arrays etc.
Apparently, RL isn't a solid ground to stand on? Let me offer a counter for people to chew on;
I go away for a few days. Or a week or two. All of a sudden the station that was in Gallente sov is now Caldari. How do I 'unlock' my ship? Now you're saying I have to train an alt to Gallente BCs or T2 HACS just so it can pick up my locked ship?
Or that I or my corp now has to get into POS management just to avoid this lockout situation? Not every corp wants to buy a POS, learn POS management, and maintain the POS just so they can avoid this situation.
I totally agree that station games is horrible and we should do what is needed to deter this. Granted, this is all in the incubation stage and the 'no docking' mechanic is only suggested. But I've seen alot of people including Hans suggest a no docking mechanic and haven't seen alot of people try to counter it. I'm offering a counter in the hopes of finding a solution that offers what we're all looking for out of FW; better immersion and more pew.
Reading b/w the lines, it seems that CCP is only in the incubation stage of iterating on FW. I was hoping they had more solid plans at this point for Inferno

FW is a critical part to the lowsec ecosystem. As someone above me mentioned, it can be one of the few places to find a fight depending on where your corp is based. If CCP screws it up, then it's more than just about affecting a finite percentage of people who inhabit lowsec. It's about the lost opportunities that comes from attracting and retaining players who are interested in something outside of nullsec sov warfare. There are quite a few people who are just on the sidelines right now waiting to see if FW is the answer for them.
Lord knows I've tried recruiting quite a few friends who are in other parts of space but they refuse to come because of their own ignorance or perception of the current FW mechanics or they're playing the waiting game for Inferno. But for now, they openly admit to me that they would just rather go mindlessly blob out in null until FW improves. :(

I really hope CCP listens to those currently in FW first, as they have paid their dues from years of neglect. Rather than listen to alot of outsiders who think XYZ feature sounds all romantic but will probably leave as soon as it gets rough.
The people, especially the vets, currently in FW are those who have the best understanding of the implications of some of these proposed changes and their opinions should carry alot of weight.
CCP- Please listen to the current stakeholders rather than just those sitting on the sidelines romanticizing about this stuff.

My concern is that the rewards we get for holding a system is moot if it gets flipped when we go to sleep. We will never be able to enjoy the rewards/bonuses if it gets flipped easily

Victor has a perfect summary of how to fix Gallente missions. No need to look further than what he says wrt Gallente missions.
I really like Susan Black's proposal in Assembly Hall on how to fix FW. It's far better than CCP's idea of docking rights.
