What about revamping the entire system?

Have 5 jumpholes to and from connecticut.
Each JH is surrounded (completly - no gaps) by a mine sphere.
that way people who are close by to each other can pvp in the system.
Any person wanting to pvp versus an opposing house player will have to travel.

Or heres another option.
Move the jump holes to three of the independent systems. Therefore if people want to pvp,
they can agree to meet at the indy systems and then go to the pvp system.
The three Jh's will be completely surrounded by a mine sphere.

In any option, each JH will need a nearby base.

I vote for your first idea. I guess the scale of the system would need to be uped so that you would have a decent area to maneuver in without ramming into mines.

But if that first idea doesn't work out than your second one would be also work, that way you're not ticking off any house factions or causing false alarms (as Gafwmn said).
