How about them warzones? 30 minutes / 1 hour death penalty in those systems only?
Like the other day we were fighting Libertonians, and a bunch of them re-engaged and I found that super awesome because it kept the battle going and forced us to tactically retreat. Otherwise we would have run out of stuff to shoot at and gone home somewhat dissatisfied.
I bet it would take some of the pressure off conn as well. At times 10-20% of the server population that hang out there, and it might be more fun if people could meet and duke it out in rp warzones instead. It might also lead to a decline in random out-of-ZOI cap expeditions, when/if they suddenly got stuff to do in the neighbourhood - as well as direct those forces against what is supposed to be their main enemy in-rp.
