@Curios your idea in N1 is close to what we've been expecting in the future. You are right abotu N2, raiding Gamma is somehow wrong not to mention out of ZOI. Your N3 is exactly what most of bretonian community would like to maintain - like you've described it - as close to original vanilla as possible instead to ruin Bretonia and its role. Adaptation to new lore is not the problem as long as factions remain intact but the "surrender RP" is just too much unless if the devs would be happy Bretonia to consist of 1 system - New London.
About N4 - you are right. But it was not always like that during the golden rush in dublin and kusari war. People complain - yes if they have to repeat they same "Rp" everyday - log in, get someone on their tail instantly, get shot down, log off. Multiply this three times per day every week and here you end with people who are unhappy of being the victims and always waiting to be attacked by 10-15 before calling skype emergency and bringing 2-3 ppl to "Rp".
Most people just leave then or simply...don't fight at all. Examples can be many - being corsair raid in Cambridge or ultra grn raid in leeds at a nice GMT time...if you ask for assistance and 3 people answer, why would you bother? In time you see nothing new because this is repeating nearly every time and one day you get more people online, you win 1 battle and being crushed on forum for ganking. And the circle is complete and etc etc...
That is why, believe it or not, to be given Raid option will change this "long term practice of avoiding fights" - so instead to sit and wait to be raided you can go and raid as well. Why its so hard to understand? Raiding with RM/LN/GRN/KNF and even with corsairs was cool....I am sure Bret players would be happy to experience this as well from bret side with bret ships. At least so far they've always being asking "what we can raid, where we can go" and pointing the trade lanes and patroling is the obvious answer...
