So from my perspective there is no more or less fence naptarion that p3ng does compared to other alliances in the game.
Most "top" alliances appear to enjoy building up fort galaxies. If I take ultores as the example chimpie does most of his deals out of game and sets up avoidances of forts nice and early to protect over half of the ally.
If we hypothetically said the current universe looked like:
1 ult - forts
2 ct - semi forts
3 bf - forts
4 p3ng - spread
5 fl - forts
6 bows - forts
7 nd - semi forts
8 hr - semi forts
We can quite easily see that a few "fort avoidance" agreements soon mean that those who are spread out end up getting the rough end of the beatings early on in the round. Alliances simply cant hit anything that contains 4+ members of a particular alliance so they have to search for mixed/spread gals which inevitably means these galaxies full of "randoms" get gang banged over and over and over.
It's very easy to set up a fort avoidance, especially with alliances who are very much forted themselves its in both of your interests. However I'm not quite sure why the player base sees this any different to p3ng taking ingame agreements.
In fact you dont even need an official fort avoidance agreement. It is well known that if you hit a fort it is seen as some declaration of war, you will get a private message from a HC of that alliance asking why you are targetting them and they get all hissy fitted up and decide to ptarget you back.
For us, the best way to manage incoming early on is so take a nap in game, but that doesn't mean those other alliances are any less NAPPED UP.
Try and find some friends to hit a forted ally early and I think you will probably come up with no one.
