The great thing about it is that you don't have to follow the real history.

Right now, I am playing as fascist America in 1938.

If you buy the latest DLC, you can play as one of England's colony states (Canada, Australia, South Africa) and then with some politic moves, give the Queen the finger, and become your own state.

Of course, the mods make the game even better.

There is actually a Imp Zone MP game going on right now that is doing the "Commonwealth Revolt" gimmick.

Under POS Sov? I don't know how that worked but under Dominion Sov they basically planted down poo poo loads of stations in each of their systems.

This is what Providence looks like today - http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Providence

Every system with a box that has a triangle in it is a system with a station, meaning attackers would have to grind through an ungodly amount of HP just to conquer the stations, not to mention clean out all the POS, SBUs, and TCUs. They turned a player controlled nullsec region into what is effectively a NPC null region but with more stations.

Compare that to Providence it looked way back in 2006 http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Providence/2006-01-07 or even in 2009 http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Providence/2009-01-07

It was, and still is, a really effective strategy. Under Aegis sov it's not overly as necessary but it's still a poo poo load of Entosis wanding you have to do just to take the region from them.

They also have the tried and true plan of "retreat to lowsec until whoever gets bored or weak, and then return and take it all back." Plus Providence isn't really a rich region to own/mine/PVE in like the others.

it's a lot easier, just remove jump freighters, halve all super+ ehp and remove all remote reps other than fax, and cap fax tank to around 15k EHPs as a max tank fit. increase jump range of caps to 15 and remove fatiuge
also remove supercap tethering, delete the drone regions and remove half of highsec arbitrarily.
reduce highsec incursion payout by 50%
make afk ratting/carrier ratting/supercarrier ratting poo poo and make dread ratting good. put one 10k ehp web and infinipoint battery into every level 5 mission. revert the wormhole pve changes
mining is in a good place, nullsec should be able to out mine highsec potentially GOOD
citadels now require fuel at the same rate as their respective pos does (ie astrahouse=small/fort=med) -> if a citadel is out of fuel for a week it becomes vulnerable with no reinforcement timers. in order to restart an offline citadel you must dump x fuel in that would have been consumed had it been online the whole time. astrahouses are only vulnerable 3 hours a day, and no longer get a reinforcement timer. fortizars get ONE reinforcement timer. Keepstars get TWO reinforcement timers.
say good riddance to ccp peligro
anything attemtping to enter warp for 9 minutes uninterrupted acquires an inertia of 0/infinity and instawarps
criminals in highsec cannot tether to citadels

what "Unfunny Poster" said.

But also null sec is not so "full" with people, so really good regions with great sec status, moons, logistics, are usually fought over.
But stuff like provi, n1 cares enough.

Same thing can be said for drone regions, they used to be great, then nerfed into the ground (now it seems like ccp is buffing them again) but they were really bad before, that's why nobody really needed them and russians could rent such big space

It seemed that when co2 lost their cyno jammers it made it a lot easier for panfam. Once testco hold the hub long enough they'll be able to put their own up right?

Don't even delete supers and titans, just delete the BPOs (and stop dropping BPCs from incursions)and let them die out naturally. I miss the days when losing titans and supercarriers meant something.

A better solution would be to change the build material of just being industry built items. Supers should be derived from special "raid" style complex that require a capital to activate. You and your dumb asses enter the plex with a carrier and a small fleet and complete the objective and then are rewarded with build material for a Titan or Super-capital. Regionally locate certain parts, thrusters only in the Southeast, Gun Mounts in the North etc.

This would stifle the creation a lot since nullsec groups tend to be rather antagonistic towards each other. There still is the gordian knot of what to do with extant Supers but I feel they'd start dwindling because of people unsubbing, getting blown up, or just becoming timid because they don't have 100 Supers capable of dog piling in.

Super pilots are a special breed of whiny when it comes to any changes to their ships, probably because they feel entitled to having the most powerful ship in the game because ~reasons~ (read: time/money spent to get one). I thought when they changed them in Citadel to make them vulnerable (but still resistant) to EWAR was great, but I'm sure a lot of them got butthurt about it because now a swarm of frigates can tackle a super until the cavalry arrives with the hictors.

One thing I though of for supers was to make them "T2", in that you have to invent the BPC off a carrier or dread BPO with a very, very small success rate. Then I remembered that groups like Goons have 20k+ people so it wouldn't really change much. You could make inventing the BPC require pieces off capital rats that spawn, but again, won't really curb it too much (again, Goons being a prime example. Nothing against you guys in this case, it's just you are drat efficient in actually using your region as opposed to other groups).

Faction supers aren't entirely a problem, at least right now. You don't see them really used outside of "no risk" situation. Eventually, yes, they will likely become a problem.

Have super build costs scale with the number of supers in existence. The more there are, they more they cost to build. And then make that increase exponential. And the present day cost would be equivalent to if there were only 5% of the supers in existence.

How about just make it a tax of 1plex/mo per character (not account) to continue using supercapitals? Then CCP will have more money to waste on developing pay2win iphone porn-based boardgames or whatever.

I mean, I'm pretty death2supers, but this is a really dumb idea. Because then the only people who have supers are the ones who had supers before. And then a bunch of them will either band together, or make a fight club style agreement that they won't kill eachother's supers, and they'll all band together when someone seriously attacks them with super blobs.

Actually with the way things are now, I find skillbooks to be an outmoded concept entirely and they should probably be deleted. They aren't a powerful enough ISK sink, they aren't an inconvenience, and you could get people literally starting an account, never leaving station, and training it for a year or whatever on Omega. I don't predict that skillbooks will be a thing in game much longer.
