Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I haven't fully flushed out this idea, but I'd like to play with the idea of splitting up fights for sov. I'd like to see alliances field 3-4 250 man fleets in separate systems, fighting for multiple objectives at once, rather than 800 v 800 for every timer.

How to do that, other than arbitrary pilot limits on systems (which wouldn't work)?

Force, or encourage, multiple simultaneous timers. If a new SBU starts anchoring in a constellation, give it a crimewatch-esque aggression renewal, such that all SBUs in the constellation will then enter an anchoring state.

But therein lies an issue, an aggressor could simply anchor 3 SBUs, defend one, and get the critical system.

Is there any mechanic that could be implemented to make the scale of SOV fights massive, but not ludicrous?
