Like a dedicated alliance fleet? That DCs could access through the alliance page?

Wouldn't work - it would just mean one person could stay up all night and coordinate defense. Therefore NOBODY would stay up at night and you're again rewarding inactivity.

edit: It would create an
even playing field. It would simply comes down to who has most ships - let's not turn this into Command and Conquer!

Just think: InSomnia would actually be able to cover some defense calls!

Playing in an alliance is all about the teamwork. Add an 'Alliance Fleet' that somebody else can control, and it removes the teamwork. No teamwork = pointless* being in an alliance.


*i.e. no fun, which is kind of an important thing to look for in a game.
