I think the main reason behind randoms is that it encourages new people to play the game as supposedly we get them all into our alliances. In reality this doesn't happen.

If there was some way of hard-coding people into your alliance it might be work better?

Like you can have a 10 man private gal, but in return you get 5 randoms and they are forced into whichever alliances have the majority in the galaxy (by ratio). If you don't go for the 10 man private gal, then you get to stick with a 5 man buddypack instead with 10 randoms (who arent hardcoded into your alliance).

Of course this leaves us wide open for spies etc, but then it's something alliances would have to (if they chose to) work around.
