The thinking was ...

25 ppl per gal means someone will be watching gal news all the time, so 5 alliance players in an alliance gal will mean the other 20 will just sit there, attacking occasionally and growing 'roid fat (with ridiculous p ratios).

The original aim was simply Overburn being exactly the same as a normal attack* except it would cost 3x the eonium to launch and wouldnt show up on galaxy news. It lets you take out people in otherwise untouchable galaxies if they cant be arsed to be active.

Overburn defense is nothing to do with me at all.

* Round 1 there was no galaxy news. Total information is a large problem - if you know exactly whats going on (through gal news) there is very little room for strategy - The suggestion was hoping to bring that back.
so drop gal news for priv gas instead..
