It all depends on the strength of EVE support in the game balance at that juncture. For instance, right now, we faced an opponent with EVE support last night and we beat their pants in very badly. EVE support couldn't save them. However, in a closer match it makes the difference.
But I think you will find that as the game develops, individual gunplay will be a lot less important than meta, diplomacy, and other factors. And EVE won't just be "support".

Or basically just ensure everyone had a job to be online every day. o.O And an hour warning is barely enough time to spin up a team for the match.

I doubt many of the larger corps would have a problem throwing a team together. It could promote more folks getting invited into PC, but yeah I could see a potential problem for the smaller corps who have pooled together some of the better players this game has to offer and who currently have a strangle hold on PC as a whole. It would change the dynamics quite a bit... whats wrong with change?
You need to be not just larger, but much larger if you're hoping to just have all the right roles to make up a team on at the right time. And it gets worse if you talk about CCP eventually increasing the team size in matches down the road. It's a logistical nightmare. Furthermore, while a day's notice gives us a fairly decent group of people to pick from, the early knowledge of opponent also affects our team comp. We often field are newer players against n00bier corps who attack us, for example. The shorter you make that notice, the less options corps have for management.

Incorrect. Only the defender would be so hindered. It would make it near impossible to reasonably defend your territory.
Veterans acquire more skill points, sure, but you're also talking about increasing the barrier to entry for new players as well.

In this part we agree. Honestly, holding districts should actually cost you maintenance fees per district. But active use of the district should generate enough profit to cover those costs.
