Eve Fanfest proved to be a productive event for fans in attendance and The Mittani was on-hand to sink his teeth into the juicy content and panel discussions provided by CCP developers. In the latest Sins of the Solar Spymaster, The Mittani recounts what he learned at the event about the coming Dominion expansion, sovereignty, and more all while fighting a hangover.
Barely over one month to go until Dominion releases, and at last - amidst the flotsam and jetsam of post-Fanfest flus, hangovers, and developer chit-chat - at last we have some hard data, real numbers, and SiSi patches to pore over and analyze. When at Fanfest, the most jammed round tables were those for 0.0 and capital ships - with good reason, because these two areas are bearing the brunt of the patch changes. At the time, we had general information from the devs, but no numbers. There was still a few obligatory Fanfest 'big reveals': CCP at last disclosed how outposts would be captured, and demonstrated the new Doomsday graphics for Amarr.

Of course, there are those positively praying that the new widgets are impossible to build in empire and require a titanic amount of work to maintain (which is really how it should be). However, I doubt that CCP will make it strict enough at first to truly nerf the super-empires.
In all honesty, a single constellation should be, if not the upward limit, the ideal size of space run by a single alliance. The current drive to own/pwn whole regions is absurd and excessive.
