SOV idea: Move SBUs outside system

While maintaining the current sov and structure system, change the location of relevant SBUs to the stargate in connecting systems instead of in the combat system.

Possible Effects:
1) Reduce TiDi as there will be fights OUTSIDE the central system.
2) Reduce the need to cram everyone onto one grid.
3) Enable *ninja* operations in neighboring systems. This would require attackers to be more cautious when committing fully as they may be stuck in system X- while the fight is saved in system Y- by the defenders.

Now naturally, as this is on the EO forums, it must be a bad idea. Please point out why. Thanks in advance.

This has been pointed out as a good idea since even before Dominion was released.

The only real problem I see is a technicality: figure out a way to fix nullsec systems directly bordering highsec. (This could be as simple as not counting highsec gates towards the total number of gates that need to be SBUd.)
