Which they usually were. However, by having more planets, free gals (particularly early on) essentially painted "raid the total crap through us, PLEASE!!!!" signs on all of their roids/ships/planets, and as such were destroyed utterly very soon in the game, thereafter top (private) gals ran away despite their smaller size in planets.
So, i suppose my point is; is there a way to make it less obvious for galaxies to be indistinguishable, whilst still competitive with oneanother, whether they were private or not? I fear another repeat of history with different sizes.

They dont really need to be indistinguishable,consider the public gals more like the c200 we have at the moment.I know that new players will land there but with low score and value they wont be attacked by many,not big experienced players anyway.Also it would be a great chance for the new players to get involved in the politics side of the game,since today the BPs in the galaxy take care of everything.
As an alternative to the 8 ppl private galaxy you could make it that they get 2 random planets also,wont affect the private gal and would give others a chance to be in a high-scored galaxy.
