R35 Setup suggestions
Would any of these (or possibly others, suggest your own in line with these) be interesting and work for next round?

#1
- No BPs (might take quite a bit of coding unfortunately)
- Shuffle places everyone randomly up to a max of 5-6 planets per gal
- 0-2 late joins

#2
- BPs at 2-3, one BP per gal
- Shuffle fills up gals with non BP planets
- 0-2 late joins

#3
- BPs at 5, (effectively private gal, no exiling in)
- Shuffle puts one bp per gal, then creates gals for the randoms filling them to 8-10 planets
- 2 late joins, (maybe only for BP gals)

#4
- BPs, shuffling, late joins, all same as last round
- No defending (or possibly only in gal or only in alliance)

Remove late sign-ups. They just make strong gals even stronger.

imo there's a lot of other things they need to address before they start looking at those things.. it works good enough the way it is now with the galsetups.

#5
- BPs of 5
- Max 3 members of each ally in a gal, (autoexile for the 4th).
- Shuffle puts one bp per gal, then creates gals for the randoms filling them to 8-10 planets
- NO defending outside alliance/galaxe exept for FC's

You cant have a rule where you only defend outside alliance or galaxy if its a FC.

It's either all or nothing.

Well, anything is better than the "rule" now about 3 defence fleets out of ally pr week :p

And a FC is way easier to trace than 3 defences a week...

I would prefere no defence outside alliance/galaxy at all, but I think that's gonna be too hard to swallow for Asc ;)

I'm sure it's easy enough to code an algorithm that cross checks memberbases of alliances and def fleets sent in the universe.

we were deffing out of allaince as well, not that i agree with the idea but just to say that asc arnt the only guilty party

asc/app had like a week more of defending outside of ally before we found out the "rules"

either way, i'd love to see no defending outside of tag/gal. or no defending at all! that'd make for an odd round.

I do agree that galaxies should be smaller... best idea i've heard yet.
