i wasn't saying one person has 80 friends but there are still some communities out there with more than 50/60 members. Maybe not but say 1 person has 10 people he/she likes playing with but he/she also likes someone in another group etc
But i agree 60 would be good since it still gives ample room for scanners etc (although tbh there is no reason now why a scan planet cant be top100) I have to admit it is pretty depressing looking at the universe screen and seeing 1 man bands making up the majority of the alliance rankings screen. I mean that cant really give the best advert to new players
