Also, the instancing would cause a lot of headaches I'm sure.

open pvp does not mean the entire galaxy has to become pvp. my main experience with open pvp is warhammer. whilst you can technically attack anyone at any time, the person you are attacking has to flag themselves for pvp. also enemy cities and towns will be defended by high level npc characters that can kill anything. the main pvp happens in the rvr lakes. these are areas that you do not have to enter but once you do your flagged for pvp. these can change hands and have multiple objectives to capture or defend.

there is no harm in adding systems that can change ownership from fed to klingon, or that can hold large numbers of people as long as people who dont want to do it are not forced to go there so it wont affect them.
i think when people think of open pvp they think of eve and it puts them off but it does not have to be as hardcore as that.

there is of course the issue of making it fair as usually one side outnumbers the other, so you might end up with dozens of feds against one klingon. so even if they make it it may have to be a cross between open pvp and instanced zones so it does not just turn into one sides zerging the other.

what is going to swell our numbers and get people serious about looking into playing KDF is Episodic PvE content. PERIOD. unfortunately, it's going to be months before we see that become a reality.

check out th 'tentative release calendar'. episodic KLingon PvE is nowhere on there, and it goes all the way to the end of April.
