I like the basics of the idea, what I don't like is that defending and attacking with your friends (not alliance) will become quite hard. It will also make going random harder, a lot of people especially in the smaller alliances will be unable to ever defend 90% of the time.

It helps against big alliances, but I'm not too sure if the implications for the 'rest' of the people make it worth it. Especially if you want to develop planetarion to a game that does not have a core of hard gamers, but one that allows for casual play as well.
Out of a population of 50,000 people not even 10% will play hard core, the other 90% will have to deal with not being able to defend the people they know because they are always too late.
