Like Napping that we have currently, but more of.

I feel that because alliance limits are so large, players dont feel the need to step up and create an alliance from the base up. Creating smaller alliances also creates a smaller easier structure to control.

Most alliance have a policy system of "Do Not Defend", meaning that people who defend more get higher priority for defence themselves. This then places players into seperate entities with in the alliance.

So your idea also means that all we need is 1 Alliance, because no one wants to be 2nd.

Since the time scanning changed from Random chance (Amps % Dists) to fixed value (Amps > Dists), problems for anyone wanting to play the game has increased. I do feel that removing Amps+Dists will balance this out again. Why should scanning be left to the few who have to dedicate their round to it.

I mean look at the fact that we have a dedicated scanning room on irc, not always active, but its their. So surely there is an issue with scanning.
