What is wrong with private galaxies? They are a potential revenue stream for the game and why cant you cap random galaxies??

In response to Blue_Esper you just quoted some run around answer but if were completely honest you could just have Private Galaxies of 8 that allow 1 latestart, then you cap random galaxies at 12-13. You keep the existing BP lines of 3 people which gives a creative core for each random galaxy.

Charge people £10-15 for a private galaxy, a seperate cost.

I see no logical reason why you cant cap random galaxies, it in no way stop new players and anyone that wants a decent galaxy and to go for the win will be in a private galaxy anyway. The 9 vs 12 is pretty even when you consider the activity level of those in a priv gal compared to a random one.

As Bashar said the issue with everything galaxy atm is exiling. Its abusable simple. Make it more expensive, make it a one off thing, make it only doable every 150-200 ticks, take away whatever factor makes it calculatable by those that use it to make super gals. DO SOMETHING!!!

In conclusion if you are looking for a cheap and easy revenue stream for PA then private gals are the answer, at worst you could have 5-8 a round being formed, thats between £50-100 a round for doing nothing, thats money that can be put INTO THE GAME. Buy some pencils and a scanner and draw some ships!!!
