I belive a complete overhaul ov what actually causes sov is in order. Here is my humble idea (based somewhat on Oveur's talk on one of the fanfest videos).
Sov 1 is obtained in the traditional manner. Plant a pos and keep alive for 5 days.
To reach sov 2 you need presence. To meet the minimum quota, 1 person from the sov claiming alliance needs to be online in system for a minimum of 12 hours combined time (from dt to dt), or 2 people for a minimum of 6 hours, or 3 people for a minimum of 3 hours (this should be the lower limit). When the qouta for 1 day is met the sov goes up to sov 1.1 (for all intent and purpouse rounded down to sov 1). By day 5 the sov is 1.5 and rounds up to sov 2. If at any day the presence qouta isnt met the sov ticks back 1 step from sov 2.0 to sov 1.9. the highest number that can be met by presence alone is sov 2.0.
Sov 3. After sov 2.0 you can continue to increase your sov claiming by utilizing resourses. If a minimum of X m3 of minerals is mined and/or a miminum of X faction ships is destroyed by alliance members between dt and dt sov vill tick to 2.1. At day 5 the sov will round up to 3 and cyno jammers and jump bridges can be installed. If however the mining/ratting qouta isnt filled the sov ticker goes down and the day it reaches 2.4 all such modules goes offline.
Sov 4 is reached just as today. Have 3 station systems with sov 3 blahdiblah.
This will ensure that it will be almost impossible for the major alliances to control empty systems where no one lives simply to ensure no one lives there. It will also give means to disrupt an alliance sov rather then capital blobbing. A small allince with fighting spirits and good skilled hac pilots can keep hitting ratters and miners until sov ticks down.
Also. Another idea posted long ago in games development would be the ability to "invite" agents to your outpost. Either from the local pirates or from the opposing empire. That way a shortage of belts in station systems will not prevent presence or resourse utilizaton.

Since I was the first to suggest changes to how sov works. On page 2 if you are interested. I of course thinks that is the best idea.
And about tech 3 and wormholes. As far as I understand from the fanfest video it will be conquarable. Wich means there must be poses. Wich in turn means that there must be capitals or else the first alliance to place a faction deathstar will win forever and ever.
And if all current systems stay the way they are how will wormholes change anything for non-powerblock alliances? So I scan a wormhole. I tell my Atlas mates and we roll in and place a pos and start collecting tech 3 stuff. 3 hours later a GBC or NC or Drone/Goon member scans the wormhole too and in comes 150 capitals, 10 titans, 20 mommas and 600 regular ships. Well that was fun for 3 hours.
