I've seen several active and experienced players in the past choose going random as strategy, when the setup of max ammount of players in a private galaxy is way lower than max ammount of a random galaxy.
15 minute ticks...
(Shuffle every 50 ticks could be a very nice change)

Cluster / Parallel alliances are possible
Random galaxies need to be 10, or 11. They will grow through the round as privates won't, but they're generally going to be less active. It's difficult, because either we have random galaxies being capped and "overflows" creating new galaxies, which kills new galaxies, or we have private galaxies slowly getting outnumbered by random galaxies, then the private galaxies disband and make it even less worthwhile to "stay private".
I've already said shuffling mid-round won't happen.
15 minute ticks means that, even if you sleep for 6-8 hours, you're looking at 32 ticks whilst you sleep - way too high. Also, a 2 week round will be like an 8 week round, and that's probably a bit long.
ETA adjustments will probably have to happen as well, which we've done before (e.g. ingal def is eta 3/4, base ETA is 14 not 12, or similar).
