One problem i see with this is that you will end up with 3 Groups, Group 1 being those at the Beginning of the Universe that have Control over their little Area. Group 2 Being at the End of the Universe growing at similar rate as Group 1. Then theres Group 3 Who will be the biggest of them all, as they have a wider range of Targets, if they choose to band together then Group 1 & Group 2 will be dead, Group 3 will win the round.

Main Reasons why Group 3 will Win.
1) They have greater number of planets within striking distance, which means more targets or more allies.
2) Groups 1 & 2 will run out of Targets far quicker than Group 3, which will probably mean that Groups 1 & 2 will have to travel Further for targets thus meaning a greater Turn around, Thus slower Growth than Group 3.

Sorry Spinner m8, But you give the Guys in Group 3 a far greater advantage, thus meaning if your stuck close to the fringes on either side of the universe you might as well Quit.

because at the end of the day you could end up with 3 alliances, one for each group. Neither alliance will be able to hit the other alliance, due to them taking twice the time to Arrive and attack a planet as it does to Defend.

Having just thought about it, the worst group infact will be Group those poor sods that will be in between the Groups.

Ie Group 1 will extend out and attack as far as possible as does the Group 2, which will mean Group 4 will be trouble as they dont belong to either Group.

If your going to make a universe in this Fashion then for starters you would have to make the Universe a Sphere, thus giving a more equal chance to everyone to make it to the top, cause atm you are favouring those who start in the middle.

Cupelix

edit... But even with a Sphere as a universe you would still end up messing up the community as a whole, Because new and old players wouldn't be able to play along side their friends, unless you had private gals but even then that would only benefit the new players (but how many are going to start a private gal if they are new) Remember alot of the old Timers like myself have made alot of friends over the Rounds, considerably more than you can fit in one gal. So infact you would have to make the universe Random, which i'm not sure how many peeps will like tbh.
