Of course. Most people don't have the connections to sign up late in a galaxy where they can init and get defense. So instead, they either late sign into a galaxy where they don't get defense, which nullifies the low value advantage, or they don't late sign at all. That's why I want it gone.

Correct. I'd rather have randomness than the strict segregation we have now, where only a handful of people
can ever get gal wins.

Incorrect. Don't ignore it.

I think we should fix the game for half the planets in the game, to avoid these few galaxies taking one of the three possible wins every round.
The jealousy bit conflicts with the "you don't play" bit, by the way.

What I want is for the game to encourage behaviour that is ultimately good for the community, and by that I mean for the long term growth of the player base. Right now, the choice is between doing good for yourself, by exiling newbies, and doing good for the game, keeping newbies and educating them so they'll do better next round. I don't blame you for picking the former, but that choice should not be forced on players in the first place.
