If you get incs then you will need to manually go talk to your cluster (IRC, MoC, ...) to find defence (similar to the xmas round) but this will reduce the amount of information that can be leaked to your attackers / to the planets you are attacking.
The PA team cannot stop this. If a Cluster Alliance wants to cooperate together, they will.

What you (and others) struggle to comprehend is due to the small size of the Universe, Cluster Alliances will not work, and will probably make more people quit than we are experiencing already. Why? Because landing attacks will be next to impossible, with a third line of defence (Alliance, Cluster, Galaxy).

However, I do agree that Cluster Alliances will allow players to work with other players who they are not usually familiar with, and will help newer players mingle with the current Planetarion "core". But unfortunately, we need a bigger Universe for this to work.
