New dev-blog about costs with sov and upgrades

A new devblog regarding the upgrades and costs of sov.
Seems a system will cost around 2bn isk/month in upkeep costs and the upgrades so far look rather unimpressive.

After following the thread a bit it seems that at fully upgraded for anomalies the 10 or so will respawn instantly and rival lvl4s in income.

No answers on the other areas though.

having read the blog i must say i like the sounds of whats happening, to upgrade mining/industry those things actually have to be taking place in the system :)

i sense big corps moaning about it though as they are used to holding all the good stuff for themselves , hence the (in my mind) derogatory term for renters as "pets".
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Yep... The problem is that since the systems will have 10-15 people (so far no idea if that is only from anomalies or from anomalies and everything else at max...) you need 7m/day and person for upkeep in that system.
We need a lot more information really.

Yes, I like that part as well.
But the population density/cost of system upkeep is a bit weird. Hopefully they might tweak the amount of anomalies and ofc actually fix the grav sites which might make it more worthwhile.
