look at it this way, what type of alliance would a new player prefer to join an elitist alliance (not that they would have any hope of getting in their first round) where they are just a number or a small tag where everyone pulls together and knows each other. within the smaller tag players will make more effort to integrate the new player because with limited numbers it benefits them to train/improve the new player for the good of the tag, eg tag size 30 with 5 extra newbie spots (to avoid exploitation the extra 5 places do not count to tag score) obviously this would not work with the current galaxy sizes which is why they need to be reduced aswell.
with 30/35 in alliance tag I would limit galaxy size to 8 and remove or adjust the exiling system
