I don't think you guys realize how much of a huge gap there is between the top 4 and maybe 5 teams between everyone else. Sure every team has maybe like a few really good alts but these top 4-5 teams dominate everyone else and could easily pvb the rest of SS's smaller/weaker teams.
I think I do understand, which is why I'm excited about this change. In general, the large teams have something like a Code, by which I mean more like guidelines... But anyways, most large teams don't really want to screw over the smaller teams as long as it doesn't prohibitively impinge upon their space requirements, its in the Code that big teams don't attack small teams for no reason. Resources is a reason but not usually a good enough reason.
IFF smaller teams don't go and do something stupid like foster another Flaming Demon, they won't get their asses handed to them and will be able to maintain their borders.
I think I can speak for the respectable players of the high end when I say we'd like to have more high end teams and players out there and letting small teams get a foothold in wild space works towards that goal. Now that's a fairly small subsection of SS that I can speak for, and for their ruthlessness and boredom anyone on SP is excluded, but for the most part i think small teams should have a better time next uni than they historically have.
tl;dr: small teams will survive in wild space as long as they don't piss off SP or crowd the others.
