People often compare the game to looking at numbers in a database, in my view, this makes the game more like that than a game.

hahahahah i just reread this thread and i have to respond to this because the words and phrasing you chose are ****ing hilarious.
intel gathering at the moment is like a well oiled machine for big alliances. getting some tips, then continually jgping known targets to collect cords isn't a complex puzzle. avoiding friendly contact with your random gal members for as long as possible makes perfect sense if you want to keep your cords a secret.
pretty much everything which effects the outcome of this game comes from ship-stats and what happens on the battlefield. intel has little bearing on who will win the round (i.e. without it the round will be just as unpredictable)
i believe the mixing of groups and the forming of new friendships or mutually benificial agreements is what keeps the community going, something which has steadily dwindled . encouraging gals to co-operate seems like a step in the right direction. i would say making new friends to work out gal strategies and meet goals is a better gaming experience overall -- this is what hooks people into PA.
