I have no problem whatsoever with def whores per se.
The problem for me comes when they are operated by cheats.

I would like to see it made impossible (within the game mechanics) to defend out of alliance or galaxy, the same way its impossible to attack in galaxy or in alliance.

If someone then wants to take one of the allocated slots in an alliance, and spend the entire round building vipers, then good luck to them.

As for defending in cluster, lets remove that as well, otherwise some "opportunistic" individuals will just get their mothers, fathers, brothers, cousins and other out of gal / out of tag friends (all of course totally legit) to exile until they end up in the "right cluster".
