Why don't they just think bigger if they want territories to be warred upon with a purpose? 

Allow factions to build structures on their territories that they intend to hold at a tremendous cost to them but provide massive bonuses... Say maybe a headquarters or other facilities. Then perhaps if said faction territory is claimed by another faction they would get said structure unless maybe they already had an HQ somewhere else in which case they could pick one or the other to keep and then burn the other one down pillaging a percentage of its value?

After all what would be even better then just sending a defeated enemy to sector 7... when you could pillage their base and steal a large amount of rep or other goods? And maybe then the really powerful factions full of bored players would build those bases with the idea of trying to tempt someone else to just try to come and get them... At the very least it would also provide more dynamic objectives because even if you cant get past the massive amount of alliances and completely wipe out some faction just to S7 them in some situations the possibility of taking out their base might still be achievable. Since you could then kind of win by simply winning in one key territory it might be more interesting?

I am sure if they did do something like that they would refine that idea a lot more before implementing it but I think that is what territory wars are really missing is other objectives and things to do because territory wars are objectively way to simple in their current form to break the stalemates that exist.  Also the costs of long term wars are incredibly high without adding some new way for factions to profit from it they seem content to just have a truce and farm the rackets on the map.

Grats!
