You cant say 'I want 8 in a gal' and then suggest we keep 5 man bps. The bp size is the main influence the pa crew has on gal sizes as it is determined by the number of bps vs the number of randoms. Thus say there are 500 players at tickstart, and 250 of them want to be in 50 bps (yes I know not every one will be full in practice) then because the free players get shuffled into the bp gals the result will be 50 gals of 10. The pa crew can make this smaller by putting the bp limit at 4 meaning there will be 63 gals instead.

Otherwise you need to go for something more radical like going back to private vs free gals. They could put a cap on gal size, but this will be immensely to the disadvantage of gals that end up without a bp as a result and would make exiling a really bad option as there would be a large number of gals you would never have a chance to get into. The result would be a group of people stuck in the worst gals with no hope of exit.
