There are SO many regions in EVE that can be opened up, they can either be next to molden heath or they can be across the galaxy. While we still take pride in conquering MH, realistically DNS both on dust and in eve cannot conquer EVERY region. We have neither the resources nor the desire to do so in the first place.
For example MH is open now lets say CCP opens up a region in Amarr or Caldari lowsec for grabs. We wouldn't have enough manpower to both defend MH and attack another region, well ok maybe one region but certainly anymore than one at a time would be difficult to do. We will expand as much as our resources will allow us to do.
That being said if CCP did in fact open up the map, everyone complaining about the big blue donut would simply go off and conquer their own regions, and then you will have some REAL politics and SOME real wars. As they conquer each corner of the EVE galaxy they will forge their own eve/dust alliances and create some really great content for both games.
Why can't you take all the districts?
Who would stop you?
NS has 63 districts on one timer none under attack, what would stop them from having 500 districts under the same timer?
If people coordinate properly now they could overpower DNS but just don't....
I can only assume that no one in DNS wants to take more districts than they already have. There are a bunch of people that were kicked out of MH that have a axe to grind and wont stop attacking all of those districts. Also the part about the EVE support being unable to handle the logistical challenge of giving support across more than one region.
I can only assume that DNS will want to take more districts because really nothing is stopping them from doing so. It's a bad mechanic if somebody can say "we can completely break this game mode if we wanted but we won't, trust us CCP introduce more districts"
And EVE logistics side...
It sadly does not take a lot to stop a general OB fleet for most of the Dust Alliances.
This map is very outdated on who the sov holders are but for all you strict dust players who don't play eve here is the map
http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/Vs7fr04Jiuo/maxresdefault.jpgDNS can't hold molden heath and conquer ALL of eve, MAYBE we could conquer 1 additional region out of the dozens available.
Crushing Orbital fleets IS easy, if you don't wise up and realize that you have to make eve connections. Starting an EVE account for the purpose of dropping orbitals by yourself in a lone destroyer or even half a dozen destroyers is just asking to get spanked.
That's why Renegade Alliance fought with the DUST Corps with actual fleets, that's why General TSO's was brought in by Dust corps to bring actual fleets and that's why DNS flies actual fleets to defend our satelites.
If you think I am jumping all over the map you're crazy, logistics would never be over. That being said, with more regions open everyone not in the donut can go and try their hand and conqueror. Make your own EVE connections, take over the new regions, a few districts at a time. DNS will expand as much as we can but it will be nowhere near close to taking over ALL of New Eden, there simply isn't enough manpower to hold it.
What better way to revitalize the existing DUST community and bring in fresh faces than by opening up the map and saying all of this can be yours if you are smart enough to conquer it. Those who can't organize or form eve connections will fail, those who can will be successful.
