Sedona b8
Sedona b8 is the bloodiest pvp sector in the verse. Where the most powerful, and most violent players go to bear each other into scrap metal. It's a sector well known throughout the verse as the battleground for pvp, or organized furballs (free for alls).
My suggestion: Sedona b8 should have a more tightly knit asteroid field in the "middle" of the area where players come in around at in a more spherical kind of design with permanent floating wrecks and scrap heaps like if you were in a unrat capital ship sector
Reasoning: this would make fighting in b8 way more fun (just saying) and it would make sense overall since b8 has a bloody history of death and destruction when players enter it. It's the most common place to meet up when your just looking for a fight.
Issues I could think of: npcs would get stuck. Alot. Because I know the o7 to b8 jump point would take npcs straight through the asteroid field, which would cause them to get stuck. I think loss time would increase a bit, but because of the background work Inc and Ray have done I don't think it'll be as bad?

Players decided to fight in b8 over the years. There is no reason that I can see to adjust b8 because of that.
Players don't come in at just one location in that sector. There are many different vectors. And there is the WH to contend with.
Perhaps asking for h9 to make a come back would be a better suggestion?
That said, I recall reading that eventually small ships may have hulks as well. Small ship hulks may give you a result you are looking for.

people coming to B8 to fight dont come there to look at the view.
Plus sector would be laggy as hell.

Great idea. Long over due, honestly.

It would definitely slow things down for people. It's a pretty lightweight sector, at the moment.

what if you just took the roids that are there already and put them in a circle? that would be better than nothing

There are certainly things that could be done with designing a relatively lightweight sector, that is still combatively more-interesting. (Of course, there are already other, combatively more-interesting sectors in other locations, which people could use just as easily).
But, to be clear, that is not the same as the "field of hulks and debris" that the OP mentioned.
It would make B8 a bit more problematic for hosting capship battles, which I used to do periodically.
The "area of asteroids" could also be located a bit off-line from the main wormhole traffic pattern, so it doesn't impact the convoy activity much.

+1 to rearranging the roids in a way that doesn't effect npc traffic, but is still combatively more interesting
yeah fields of debris is not a good idea, imo. I think the debris should pile up as a result of actual player / NPC activity.
If asteroid fields are being considered as an alternative to the original suggestion, why not move the CTF sector to Sedina or make it available as an arena for fights?
