the greatest imbalance in eve are the alliances. simply put they have too much power. i base this conclusion on the actions of one particular alliance that has the ability to disrupt markets even in hi sec. ive come to the conclusion that alliances must go. that only corporations should be allowed to own claimable space and the number of claimable systems should be limited ie 5-10 systems at the most. by removing alliances from the scene you would open up all of null sec to the biggest land rush in eve history. corporations large and small would all have a chance at owning space. another aspect of this change it would intensify conflict, not reduce it, and that would be good news to all players who like the pvp aspect of eve. the more corps that you can have out in null sec increases the number of opportunities for conflict. one of the greatest reasons i propose this is to open up the mineral wealth of the moons to everyone, not just a select few with the most guns. i would propose with this change that if you dont own a system you cant mine the moons. all the mineral wealth in a system should rightfully belong to the corporations that claims it. this change in itself would go along way to correcting many of the imbalances in eve. these imbalances, mainly the concentration wealth in to few hands is ruining the game for everyone else. no alliance or corporation should be able to manipulate markets at the expense of all the other players. this very fact is one of the reasons why im leaving the game. |

Honestly, you're right, but so is he in a way.
It's next to impossible to take arms against the biggest alliances and therefore not worth it. But at the same time, practically everybody would like to have a piece of null and so the only way to do that, is to join one of these alliances.
If things continue like this, in 5 to 7 years, there will only be 2 or 3 alliances left, with perhaps a few very small ones controlling the space the other 3 deem uninteresting.
I don't know if that's such a good thing. Yes i am dutch, no i don't do drugs. |

The obvious way to fix this is to fix force projection. I'm sure if it gets bad enough CCP will take a look. Right? |

Before there was official support for alliances in EVE, people just handled them out of game and used their blue lists. CCP saw what the players were doing and added content for the sandbox.
If CCP was stupid enough listen to your suggestion and remove them from the game, we'd simply merge our corps into 1000+ man corps and still get our way. You and your pathetic 7 man corp would still be stuck in hisec carebearing it up.
Oh and there's nothing wrong with force-projection. You just suck at logistics. |

When you say next to impossible you are 100% right. I think the 99% was an attempt at organizing against the powers that be. Don't hear much from them these days. Probably lack of interest, bought off or pets by now if I had to guess. Eve... Burn it....Burn it All |

That paragraph is totally imbalanced. Simply put, the alliance your letter-keys are in have way too much power over your ENTER key, which is too scared to even show itself anymore. Most annoying thing of the week: You failed to dock/jump because you are cloaked (in your Deep Space Transport). |

What the OP has said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in his rambling, incoherent posting was he even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. You've got to remember that these are just simple miners. These are people of the land. The common clay of New Eden. You know... morons. |

If you wish to force Alliances to concentrate in smaller area's, opening up more unclaimed null then...
1: The cost of upgrading your SOV was a good start, however the player base talked CCP into lowering the price. Owning Sov over more than a few systems needs to scale up quickly.
2: Movement in EVE is currently far too easy. Large Null entities can defend vast tracts of space by moving huge fleets in a matter of minutes. The Cyno/Jump Bridge/Jump Portal system need to either be scrapped or completely reworked, including Cap/Super Cap ships being forced to travel conventionally.
3: The "Highway System" of gate organization needs to go, too many direct routes exist in EVE in all Sec levels of space... which also has the negative effect of devaluing the existence of local trade hubs. Conversely, Null and Low sec could stand more points of entry.
4: Possibly most importantly resources need to be redistributed, not only between the various security levels but also between the different regions (and in some cases even down to the constellation level). Make elements that are necessary to produce items in EVE be split up in availability geographically. This would inspire more conflict, as if you truly want the most efficient way to work a particular revenue stream you then must either take it physically, or engage in market PVP. Interdicting other sources of these materials also gains a much higher significance, even in high and low sec.
If any or all of these steps were taken EVE would feel like a vast universe again, local trade hubs would flourish, Null sec alliances would pull back into area's of space they could actually handle (freeing more real estate), and most importantly there would be significant reason to take or at least interdict other groups space. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.

Frankly, the larger the space you 'own', the more difficult it should be to defend it. Quick and easy travel and the relative long time it takes to take over a system are the problem. A big alliance can easily move a few thousand drones into a system to defend it long before a smaller alliance can take it.
If it were quick to take a system, smaller alliances could gang up and peck away at the big guys, making them shoot back and forth across their space defending. Blobs would need to split, active defenses (rather than reactive) would need to be set up, and expansion would be much tougher. The larger the space, the harder it is to defend - the way it should be.
Either that or slow down the ability to move a large fleet around the map and thus reduce conflict. |

We would definitely have to break down the sov holding into many smaller "sov holding alliances", Goonswarm Federation1, Goonswarm Federation 2, etc etc. Holding alliances is definitely a novel concept though.
Managing all the tech moon POSes and jumpbridges would be definitely more annoying though.. Take all the tech Build all the titans Drop all the POSes

How dare you sully the name Proteus with such terrible posting. I know that many of the most mature members of the community I've met are below 21. On the other hand, some of the biggest 'tards I've ever seen on this game have been over 21.

maximum diversity and maximum complexity to create the maximum number of interactions possible is the goal of any universe model. system complexity is what creates maximum diversity of interactions amongst participants and this leads to greater depth of experience. alliances with their blobs of giant terds floating in space is an end of an evolutionary process much like dinosaurs were the end run of their process. the process needs a reboot and alliances must be disbanded and smaller entities created to create the diversity necessary to continue the growth of the eve universe. it is natural for humans to keep shrinking the number of existing entities until a handful of entities exist and dominate any economy and this always spells monopoly and the end of fun for those outside of the monopoly trying to exist. the system becomes static. the alliance structure is becoming static and will reach that point shortly ie a year or two. |

As we have seen in the past, when groups are broken down into smaller sections with their own leadership an "unhealthy" tendency to start thinking on their own tends to occur over time. 
Having large organizations absolutely should not be impossible, however instilling a sense of ownership over smaller area's would be a good thing.
Tech POS's will be going away anyway eventually, and jump bridges need to.  When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
