Originally by: penifSMASH Or I can just be a jerk and spam STOPs in hostile systems until they mess up just once and lose sov in some vital system. It would be pretty funny when they spend billions of isk upgrading some system only to lose it real quickly.
1) Planting STOPs in a system only makes it vulnerable to change in sov, it does not afaik destroy your upgrades or switch sov.
2) Are you still going to be spamming STOPs if they cost 10M, 20M, 50M or what ever they'll be at?

Originally by: Kim Wilde well speaking for a smallish footprint alliance i can just say that the changes were calc'ed to cost us 50bill and most would agree that a 3k member count needs at least 50 systems with upgrades to support living there
I got a figure of (1m + 5m) * 30 * 50 = 10.5B for 50 systems... Perhaps your calculator is broken?
Oh, and of course you'll have to add jammers and JBs for the important systems, but that shouldn't make it more than 15B for a few systems that need it.

Originally by: TZeer New system supports about 15-20 people atm according to the CCP, let say 10 to be on the pessimistic side. So they would need roughly 26 systems if all wanted to do anything. To keep sov there, that would cost them 15,6 bil a month. Divide that on the number of people I counted right now, thats 61,17mil per person. Devided on 30 days, thats 2,03 mil. Roughly the income of 10% taxes from 1 hour of ratting.
No... that would be more like 7 bil per month... How can you make an argument when you're using outdated numbers?

Originally by: Niamota Olin I've been down in 0.0 for nearly a year, I cant stand ratting or mining there boring as hell. If I have a bad month I go to empire for my isk as its low risk. I think CCP believe that we enjoy having to farm isk or something to pvp....
No wonder you found it boring, it seems you didn't do any exploration.
Hey, did you know dominion will be a huge exploration boost?

Originally by: Hertford Thank you for, what appears to me to be, a pretty reasonable response. Now, I can agree there's currently players not in 0.0 who want to move to 0.0, and that the current powerblocs will be too powerful for the newcomers to establish themselves, and that Dominion will result in the same regions being claimed by the current crop of alliances, just in a more skeletal manner.
* No sov means no automatic notification that there's someone putting up a tower in the wastelands between alliances. You need to check every single system to figure out if it's just a few lone ninja-ratters or someone putting up house.
* How much of a response are you going to get telling your minions there's a tower up in the wastelands (you might call it 'buffer zone', but they'll be doing mental translations so just start calling it the wastelands), so they should drop their ratting/plexing/hacking/wormholing/carrier-spinning and get out there to shoot at a tower for a couple hours. Good luck on the 50th time.
* Large areas with no sov is an invitation.

Originally by: Shawna Gray Lol. Pretty much everyone who can't cut it in 0.0 has a empire alt to make isk, or at the very least rats/mines etc.
Fixed that typo for you.

My suggestion for medium and small sized infrastructure hubs for the smaller alliances:
