It's possible one of the existing alliances might either move or attempt to take another but hokk is already largely a ghost town and neither of the other two needs the space. Provided you don't care about intrusions a small Corp would be fine.
Actually this is extremely interesting topic now that I have thinked about it for a while. (Although it is somewhat offtopic of the opening post's topic)
There is a difference in claiming the outposts and actually living out of an outpost.
I can't really see any of the current three powerblocks moving as whole to the new islands because it would be a complete logistic nightmare to do so.
But, I can at this point only wonder what will happen with the ownership of the outposts as in will the three current powerblock claim ownership of the outposts via the intrusions or not?
I think how useful the outposts are when the new islands are released will play a huge role in this and the new upcoming energy credit system may change this, alot.
If the energy current system will play out so that the outposts will generate alot of this new energy current and the energy current will become extremely important in staying competive in the game I can foresee that the three old powerblock will be very interested in claiming the new outposts regardless of if they are actually going to live off the outposts or not.
It will indeed be very interesting to see as to how this upcoming patch will be played out in the end...
