[Proposal] SOV Barrels on a Seesaw Allogory

Admittedly I do not have a lot of experience with null and SOV conquest recently, but I wanted to share an analogy for a suggestion.

Basically thinking of SOV as a meter much like in incursions, or as known from other games. The way I would like this to work in EVE is as follows.

The two opposing forces, or for that matter 3 or more is represented by a barrel on a seesaw. The barrel is filled with water by different entities in the system, and this at different frequencies.

Thus a TCU would add a lot of weight, but with slow frequency. A lot of small frigs drip faster but smaller amounts ROF. The barrels drains at rising increments so it basically looses more water due to pressure from being more full. So all entites ships according to size, pilots in stations, stations owned, POS active etc would all add to the SOV Points frequency.

The interesting aspect would be if only anchoring new structures actually changed? So you could end up having some sort of shared SOV compositions in systems. Basically allow small system and constellation ranged strategy to develop?

With such partial SOV sleeping or dormant powers could suddenly shift.

Too add a benefit too SOV I would think station docking and gatejumping fees would be adequate? (Also PI transaction fees ofc)
