That's what I thought.

You require a lot of BC time to organise anything remotely effective, or you won't get many fleets off the ground. You will be attacking the defence priorities of several alliances, reducing your landing ratio. You'll also be facing huge fleets of ingal def and the possibility of huge crashes on massive hidden production.

Besides which, their score lead is so huge that it's unlikely that anything other than a full scale war on them would do sufficient damage to bring them down from first in the time we have left, whilst attracting a lot of retals from the alliances who have people in 11:7. And you'd better be damned sure you want the second placed gal to win too.

Even if XP would be nice, I don't see it being close to break-even.


Basically, what's the point of wasting a huge amount of time and resources to achieve almost nothing (possibly even a loss) in terms of alliance rank?
