The problem comes from the fact that the income of most systems doesn't even justify more than a couple of people living there.

The nullsec income system has to change along with this.

Certainly lots of concerns listed by folks that should be addressed / explored. That said, these changes sound cool. Just reading this got me excited and start considering leaving WH space and coming back to Null. I'm certainly game if there is going to be smaller more active faster paced territory combat. I really like the constellation dynamics and the entosis module concept though I think it needs a few more iterations for reasons already stated.

What "visceral brawls" have you ever had with or against Interceptors? Its tedious bug-hunting of cowards who do not want, and absolutely wont give you a fight. You form up, spend half an hour getting to them, and then they are gone in apuff of smoke. No fight, no kills, no point. It will be a miserable, soul-destroying existance.

I can't tell if you are stupid or ...

It won't make nullsec system ownership more desirable, it will make it POSSIBLE for smaller independent corps. Who really wants to pay for a game then pay some other player to RENT in the game they are already paying for.

I applaud CCP, and yes I have lived in high sec, wormholes, renter null and sov null.

**** renter rules. F all that.

Well do as corbexx did for wormhole space, independently quantify the actual figures based on facts rather than assumptions, and have your CSM representative present these FACTS to CCP for evaluation.

If your contention is true, and a good argument is made beyond "I want more money! " then you may meet with success.

There should be a thing on eve bet to see how long it will take this to reach a 100 pages

The prospect of it being simultaneous has escaped you.

The prospect of actually doing the work to show what is actually available as income seems to escaped you.
Until you can prove you live in a neglected area of space with hard figures, you cannot just expect CCP to turn on the tap.
Take note of a good example that worked. And proved that factual reasonable discourse has the desired effects.

This proposal strikes me as a convoluted and artificial change, using cheap rehashed faction warfare mechanics, with null sec indexes from a long time ago.

This isn't honest development work, it barely rates as "rebalancing", it looks lazy and slapped together. Then polished with the wrong oil.

The changes are convoluted, because they force us to play a certain way: No longer can the CFC impose it's will with 1,000 megathrons, nor PL, strike fear into a sov holders heart with its super caps. No, now we must run around in interceptors and cruisers and engage in fights with similar ships in honorable brawl in some artificial node after we missed catching that last interceptor because CCP cares not about the relative advantages of living in the UK with a low ping vs being on the wrong side of the planet on ancient copper wires. We then dismount from our puny steeds after four hours of toil fending off the heathens looking for giggles, good fights and tears and mount up our trusty dusty mining ships to maintain the ancient honourable industry index which actually only measure rocks shot with a mining laser. So instead of grinding EHP to capture a system, or defend it via removal of an SBU, I now grind rocks for some minimal returns after refining to keep an index up to make my systems more secure? What do I get for my troubles, my sweat? A 25% POS fuel bonus and if I am lucky my ihub didn't explode. What else? Slightly better PI, yeah, doesn't count towards holding the system. Better ratting? Hi-sec incursions are more viable and worthwhile. The rocks I grind aren't hugely better than hi sec once we factor in risk. Actual productive industry is better, but who cares? It doesn't count to holding sov. Meanwhile, my trustiest and mightiest battlesteads spin forlornly in station unloved by CCP, because battleships and capitals seem to lack a real role in this Brave Rehashed World.

What if I want to phone a friend, because I can't cover the local front and the wormhole at the back door? Nope, friends in other alliances are of minimal help against a troll ceptor or some of the outlandish Svipul fits floating around, plus they can't entosis the station or whatever, because screw you blue list is CCPs thought pattern.

This seems to me to be that unfortunate child from another relationship who expresses recessive alleles on the M1CR gene, who also appears to have a neurodevelopment disorder, who may have placed undergarments on their head, doused in flammable liquids and they are running around, playing with matches.

Then there is the prime time. If there is one aspect that is artificial it's this. Existing timers allow the attacker to control when they 1st attack, timing after that is the defenders advantage. This new change to me feels like CCP didn't get have enough fun trolling us AUTZ folks a week or 2 ago trying to do hardware stuff. Now they see fit to largely deny us sov content.

Finally, what is it about smaller gang fighting that CCP is promoting here? Why is it better? Beyond a server load question, why do you absolutely demand we fight this way to control null sec? Small gang stuff happens in null sec already and has meaning in wormholes and Low sec? If i wanted to play that way, I would have moved there already.

The TL:DR of this is: Make the industry index more inclusive, holding sov needs to be worthwhile if you are going to pump up the risk this much, remember there are timezones beyond the 5 hours either side of Iceland, try talking to sov holders and finally, perhaps go back to a drawing board, these changes are just not good enough.

Dude, that is a whole lot of your tank being sacrificed to get that PG. That leaves you 1 free slot between Lows and Rigs. DCU II and pray?
