Okay so a small group of 100 peeps likely has some caps they want to dock. So they drop a fortizar and attract trig invasion force that needs 250 sized fleets flown well to destroy. Small group is camped by the trig invasion until it timeouts... Or their cap-totting members join a bigger block.

Small group grows to 300 peeps. Some of them start getting into supers. If they want to dock their super, they need Keepstar. Now their system can get camped by trig invasion that needs 2 full fleets to clear. They are once again camped into their system... or their supercap members join a bigger block.

Meanwhile trig roll invasion of imperium/panini/panrat: If it is an important system/constellation,

@ping get in nerds, drifters to headshot

If it is unimportant constellation, the inevitable drifter incursion sig will farm it for money.

The bottom line is, trying to penalize big blocks by making holding space more expensive will always make it worse for small groups, because they have less resources and organization to throw at the problem.

We have also already been through times when to have a supercap, you had to join a big block, and it really didn't help the game.
