With an 80 member limit and aprox 2000 planets (the actual number is probably more like 1800) an alliance can now look at an influence over 5% of the universe.

Also, waging war has begun to be grosly ineffective in the current galaxysized universe, explicit targetpicking of planets is more or less hugely difficult due to this. (some big alliances manage to do this, but not many) The alliancesize needs a downscale based on that.

A quick statistics look at Alliance Members: 1,170 <-- That is the current number of members in an alliance whatever the alliance is etc. With all due respect to the non allied planets, i know there is a few out there being active. But 1170 is the number you should look at more or less if u want to see how many active players there are out there.

1170 is also probably to big, because in that number there is alot of inactive players that doesnt play anymore. But then you can start to imagine how big 80 members in one alliance is. Almost 10% of the active coremass of PA can be in -one- alliance.


Reduce galaxy size by maybe as far as 10, reduce alliance size by around 30, and we will get a more balanced universe.

The numbers are out there staring you straight in the face people.
