So 15man galaxys vs 75man Random galaxy alliances?

but those who are random galaxy new players? how would they cope?

Yes, as that will get more people to signup.....and not alienate the randoms who dont come on IRC.

I'd love it, as I never liked alliances being brought ingame in the first place. It makes the whole who won the round dispute redundant and narrows alliances in an artificial manner.
So i'd be all for it. As i would for what XelNaga said there ^

You could achieve the same 'galaxy' war by lowering the number of planets in galaxys.. and having alot more galaxys but smaller.

That would just mean the 'shuffle' has a huge effect on the round, where it should have 0 effect.

Short answer: alliances are not being removed, and there is communication ingal as well.

From what i gather from the thread, this is all based on the fact that new random players are fed up of BP's organising the politics and all want to step up and they all have the time to do so AND they come on irc.
This whole thread is completly biased in favour of the organised and active planets who'd easily find themselves a nice private galaxy to fit into. Then they forget about randoms and say 25% more planets in the random galaxys would fix it? as if active, irc players are only 1.25x better than randoms.
This solution would mean Random galaxys are constantly under attack when people want roids, as they are easy pickings.. They'll have very little night/morning coverage meaning most people get through and they get roided all the time resulting in them quitting.
BP's protect the randoms and get them to stay, as they now have the opportunity to directly talk to and get organised with active/decent players.
