0.0 Region in the middle of empire - Thunderdome

Basic concept is a region roughly in the middle of the universe.

At least 4 entrances into the region, 1 from each empire's high sec, roughly equal distances from each empire's trade hub.

This would be NPC nullsec, all NPC rats would be in the region. Either no specific NPC faction would own the sov, or each NPC pirate faction would own their own constellation.

No stations. Being NPC nullsec would mean players cannot build stations either.

Direct highsec <-> Nullsec entrances to make it as easy as possible to get in there and deter gatecamps.

Good sec status on most of the systems to encourage PvE(thus giving PvPers more stuff to kill)

====================

Why I think this would work:
Being in a central location will deter large alliances from getting into it as it will be far from their 0.0 home regions.

Capitals won't be used heavily as the systems will be in jump range from such a large amount of space it will be very dangerous.

Multiple entrances from differing regions means a larger playerbase has access to this space.

Easy access should promote PvP, fleets don't have to fly huge distances to get into the region, less of a time commitment for players who want to PvP and easier.

====================

Look forward to seeing constructive feedback.

The question is why? All other non-highsec space in eve belongs to someone and have a reason to fight over, this sounds just like meaningless mayhem. Development resources should be spent on more meaningful stuff.

it DOES give an almost purely neutral area in which people can fight without having to abuse mechanics.

Perhaps make it Jove space when they finally open it up, since they are technically neutral.
