Generally the problem with galaxy fleets, galaxy pooled scans, amps constructions etc, is that it tends to benefit top galaxies alot more than small galaxies. Why? if there is a galaxy fleet, then anyone who wants to attack that galaxy must overcome it or somehow dodge it, thus there is less chance of success in a raid, and essentially means that you cant solo/retal those galaxies without being opposed by the galaxy fleet, which is going to be large. Small galaxies will, if they're active enough to use them, have smaller fleets that are composed not as well and etc, thus being relatively more easily destroyed or overcome or avoided. Thus, its not as much of an advantage for small galaxies as large ones, as large galaxy's fleets help them become unassailable fortresses.

Similar situation to construction; top galaxies would generally go for 60+finance centres to help everyone earn even more money (they tend to have the most roids already, thus %age increases help them proportionally more), or 148+ jammers, making them impossible to scan and thus less likely to be attacked and defended against. Smaller galaxies wont have the same resources or time to organise those construction as fast (if ever) in comparison, making it less useful for them.

Whilst this equity issue is a concern, if its not hte point of introducing this to PA, then that's ok. I just see it as being able to quickly get out of hand and only solidify people's ranks (good and bad). I'm not sure that is a positive for the game.
