gangbang XY will 100% sure visit this spot in the next 60 minutes

Adapt. Maybe don't do the can+sequer thing, maybe use a detector, maybe bring a newb buddy to scout. Just 'cause it's not the same as on Alpha doesn't mean it won't work at all.

It wouldn't be the only draw. It just mitigates a possible deterrent (perception that there's nothing a newb can do on their own). To make it an actual incentive, you could reduce Alpha to only sub-mech or lvl0-1 spawns.

EVEN if you place some 1. Havocs on the betas most Rookies wouldn't go there as they don't want to lose their bots every hour against the roming gangs 10v1.

Yes, I do the romings now too ... but not becouse I want to, I have no chose . I still hate the ***!
And I saw several spawns, which I maybe can solo. There is just no reason to try them as I know roming gangbang XY will 100% sure visit this spot in the next 60 minutes and all the nice loot+kernals I farmed up to this time will be lost PLUS I will lose my bot+equipment!

Or would YOU wait for the solo farmer until he has no NPC aggro anymore and fight him 1v1?

The money is cool on betas ... the PvP is what holds most people off.
Will there be a day, when all you PvP junkys get this into your brain?

Norhoop, Dom and Kent could all be turned into npc beta islands with one outpost and no one would make the slightest complaint. All three are zombie, why _not_ just make them open to the general public rather than potentially owned by players? In EVE, the npc 0.0 regions are chock full of smaller or newer corps learning the ropes out on beta.

I'd also like it if there was more variety in the spawns on the beta islands. It's all well and good that there are a goodly number of hefty spawns with lots of goodies, but if you want newbies to move to beta there needs to be a few low level small number spawns available for farming. We'd have moved out to beta week one if it weren't the case that all the spawns are full of big bad mobs that *** newbies to death with their cold metal schlongs.

Yeah a noob farms low lvl NPCs on a beta island with all the risk instead of an alpha island ... not.
If you change the 3 named islands to NPC islands ... what would the exact difference (improvement) be to the current situation? If they're already empty now you can go there if you wish. Either nobody has the wish to go there or it's not as empty as you suggest. Even on those "empty" islands you can do barely more than PvP ... otherwise you're dead meat in no time. Although having higher tier NPCs on beta, a lot of them can be killed/farmed fairly easy due to perfect landscape conditions (sniping T5 light/assult spawns without they can reach you).
Only 1 outpost per island leads to even more camping and outpost hugging. The most dangerous action on betas is to approach an outpost or teleporter.

Why not? More options the better, as it opens up the "niche" of the game. And who knows, more people might sub as more features and convenient options become available that don't revolve around players doing 1 thing and Developers doing totally opposite of what everyone will do anyway regardless.

In all honesty it wont matter if you allow alliances or not. All in all the Power house blobbed-corps/alliances will be able to lock down 1 island have at least their staging point at 100% or near 100% all the time and be able to control the rest of the island so others can't dock. Along with being able to make it living hell for corps on connecting islands to be able to control docking. You will get the corps and people that will do everything possible to be able to and the ones that don't want to band together.

A while back, I proposed an idea on IRC. A couple more "mini" size beta islands for smaller corps to take an hold, so they would not have to join an alliance to live on beta.

These islands would be smaller, have less recources etc making them less desirable to large corporations / alliances.

Problem is at the moment, adding more space to beta spreads people out more. So really we would need more players before something like this could be added.

The whole 1 size fits all outpost thing is a bit silly.

EDIT: even an island with 3 mini islands with choke points would be nice.

If corps are going to be more busy defending, then less frequent attacks or far less numbers will be expected IMO.

I am also in favour of alliances been formed, only, as equals with each corp holding its own OP as Arga mentions. 200+ man corp 'should' be more than enough to hold it close to 50-70%mark and mechanics should reflect that preference.
500 man corps to just to hold on at 50%, is way over the top if those are the game mechanics changes intentions.

We can't be sure what would happen until implemented, then tweak as necessary depending on feedback.

I think it's probably OK to implement the new outpost setup without alliances, but there's a real possiblity that no CURRENT corporation will be capable of holding it at 100% as stated in the blog, due to the lack of 24/7 coverage.
