Alliance/Galaxy defense fleets

As discussed off topic on the night shift thread, this is a little different subject and an approach so I've made it a very own thread for all you active players to spew trash on.

Account sharing has been a plague to the game for a long time, more or less it's whole life span. It has been perceived as against the rules, but due to technology running ages ahead of a browser game, there's really nothing you can do about it.

To encouraging keeping it on a contained level and adding a team play perspective to the game, I'm advocating making sharing allowed to an extent. The idea is fairly simple: either you add a fourth fleet slot or sanction fleet slots for alliance or galaxy defense use. This'd mean you'd assign fleets to a slot as per usual, and tick it on a 'galaxy' or 'alliance defense mode' (or alternatively, both).

Fleets designated to such use would become available to selected alliance staff members or galaxy officials solely for defensive missions. An alliance (or galaxy) official could then, seeing incoming fleets reported on a member, assign specific defense fleets to a defense mission without the member needing to wake up, log in to launch the fleet.

To clear further, I am essentially suggesting that players could sanction parts of their fleets to be remote used by their fellow players that have the elected ability to do so. Of course, things can go wrong, fleets can die, moan can happen, and so on. If it seems to make defending 'too easy', parameters like ship statistics can be adjusted to contain this potential problem.

Yes, it would make defending easier. But it would at least maintain a social group approach in it, and it would possibly allow even smaller alliances or galaxies that do not benefit from the full tag of their players being highly active to adequately defend themselves. All in all, it would make team defending easier, assuming you're part of such a team and trust the team enough to allow them to use your sanctioned fleets.

That's all.
