It's been said before and I say it again: Nothing will change.
So we don't have sov anymore in a system? What does that mean? That you can go there and claim it? Nope. We still own it. You go there, you die. Simple as that. This does not increase the alliances that will hold and claim 0.0 space. It will only mean that you no longer see systems owned by sov holding alliances as claimed which they still deem their turf.
Will that open the door for "noobs" into 0.0 alliances? No. as it has been said before as well, if you can't pull your weight we don't need you. Simple as that. Are you worth 200+m a month? If not, why bother signing you up? Because you can fly a ship? Well, that essentially just means that you cost the enemy a salvo of T2 ammo. I'd label that a meatshield if anything. A roll of armor is cheaper, though, because it doesn't whine for a new ship when it gets hammered, so take a wild guess what we will prefer.
Fewer systems will be "claimed", but mining/scanning will still be done in unclaimed but "owned" systems. Alliances will strip down the "claimed" systems, that's a given. What they don't need claimed will not be claimed. That does neither mean that this will be for the taking (nothing in EvE is free, not even death) nor does it mean that sov holding alliances suddenly see any need for 5m SP noobs.
