It's a clever idea, but I don't see it as solving any issues but instead creating more. The only thing it serves is the nostalgia of a continent turning a pretty color on the global map. If you really want that, go buy a coloring book.

This.
All this will do is make a single 3-way battle between 3 continents as opposed to 3 different 3-way battles. A major difference is now there's a barrier between the fronts at the warpgates.
Worse, there is now a large amount of territory that will almost never see action.
Imagine only having 3 continents on Planetside. There's no strategy there. It would get very boring, very fast.
Home continents provide nothing but nostalgia, and their price could very well wreck the game.
