cluster alliances only become relevant when there is in-cluster eta for attacking to make them relevant.

Cluster wars in a small universe like ours would be catastrophic, because as has been proved previously, a core galaxy with alliance support can get control of a cluster pretty swiftly.

The point to be made is that this round tipped the balance whereby it was easier to get #1 by xp whoring than by playing for value, so many players went down that route. When you offer people success for less effort, they will take it. The players who should win are those that can build value while gaining the most xp and who are obviously, a bit lucky compared to their equal rivals

What I'm suggesting is that we tip the balance back again to try and counteract this, as we know that previously, normal alliance combat has been allowed to persist and change should be in stats or alliance limits to do it.
