We will see how this turns out.

Might take a serious look at this for future game design.

Re: Interesting

its always been the toughest issue in games that allow you the player to "claim" territory. How you can do that in a way that reflects the active populations that live & play in that area, without turning the game into a complete grind.

I have still never seen a true dynamic system, that can avoid "afk empires"

If things go south over there with 'Fozziesov', good news for Prepetuum I guess.

I disagree strong.

Why, the Dev's here have a very similar mindset.

I personally think it is why we are in this situation to a SMALL degree.

Very SMALL degree. Eve has been more successful and longest lived MMO than the developers wildest dreams. The new mechanics makes for interesting discussions, though I would say the author of that article sounds quite biased as he is probably losing a lot of sov space with the new system, as a defender, at least in theory. The change is so complex and drastic I wouldn't dare to speculate , with so many players in that sandbox and different play styles.

Eve is now in unchartered waters, and CCP has a lot to lose, Perp has really not much to lose, it could experiment more with drastic PVP changes. If it becomes a complete disaster for them, we might get some coming this way even though Perp is not perfect by any means.

RIP PERPETUUM

TBH i think SOV should be completely detached from structures & be a pure "epeen" *** waving thing thats cheap to plant in a  system & thats all it does.

All this talk about mechanics & metrics that measure who lives ina  system is a waste of time. Its simple. If you can survive & fend off attacks on your structures congratulations. you have proven you live there smile

As for Perpetuum & seeing intrusion 2.0 I think you have 2 options.
1. No player owned Beta outposts.
2. A in game tournament system for outpost ownership.

I think Gamma works well & you can cannibalize enemy structures & take over control.

just my 2c
