Just remember that these notifications won't actually do anything - they'll just inform you that you need to login.

Activity is still rewarded - you still have to login and take action. Ignore the warnings and you still aren't going to do that great, however it just might help people who have to work and aren't able to check their planet on the hour every hour.

Just look at what happens when you join a galaxy, you're expected to give your alliance defence channel if you've got one, along with your mobile number for your galaxy to report any incomings. Seriously - what might a brand new player think of this? Would you want to give your phone number to a total bunch of strangers who mostly hide behind fake nicknames for the first part of the round? If you don't have an alliance/contact number your chances of being exiled are far far higher.

I don't see this as too much of a bad thing. Hardcore players/galaxies will already receive SMS from their galaxy/alliances when they've got incoming anyway.
