Re: Make attacking more interesting
My advice would be to reintroduce geography and reduced in cluster ETA, with clusters that max out at 150 planets (this would be about 10 galaxies tops).
In this scenario you force alliances to add a territorial element to their strategy. You also enable groups of players to set up their own power bases by virtue of their location, rather than just their extended contacts. In my view this is a simple measure that makes the game no more difficult to play but gives lower ranked players a chance to do something for themselves, while demanding more from the best alliances.
