Because unless you believe we live in the worst possible world already, you must acknowledge that things like galaxy sizes, late starters, XP and ship stats can at least influence how alliances choose to behave. And tag limits, too.

When do you think PA politics will be worst, and when will it be best: when there's 2 240-man alliances, 4 120-man alliances, or 8 60-man alliances?
Heres my two cents on the topic: 2 - 6 tags means very static and limitted option when it comes to politics, no matter how you are gonna try and wrap your head around it.

2 way scenario is basicly 1 vs 1 and no politics needed.

3 way scenario also have slim and static options available, and might even result in a very unfair situation where we end up with a 2 way scenario again.
Because whats the point to play as a 3rd tag if the other two makes a pact to ruin your tag.

4 way scenario isn't much more different than a 3 or 2 way scenario.
Makes for 3v1 or 2v2 or 1v1 and 1v1 scenarios. Most likely will atleast 1 if not all tags try to exploit the others movement.

5 and 6 way scenario with 100 man tags: We will see repeated scenarios of 1v1 2v1 3v1 4v1 maybe even 5v1, 2v2 3v2 4v2 and 3v3. Some ofcourse way more frequent than others as political agreements tend to be lasting longer than the minimum required ingame time.

7 - 10 way scenario kinda where we are at now with 60 cap.
We see blocks that focus on one alliance at a time, and we also see counterblocks due to this. We also have several 1v1 wars at the same time. Many hidden deals, many secret agendas, more competition and priorities.

11+ way scenarios where i wish this game actually would be.
Lower tag limit since playerbase clearly cant make this happend.
We would have way more competition for one, more multisided wars, more and lower tags doesn't necessairly force you to play with fewer of your friends.
Just divided over two or more ingame tags. (One safe ally, one more chanse to get alliance win aswell) Stop being so negative to smaller tags!!!
