Signups open with 20 gals with a mentor in each
Signups are allocated to one of those mentor gals until tick 36
Once upgraded people can make buddy packs with upto 3 people on preferences screen - this works by adding a code to your planet which the shuffler will then use to move you and your friends together into one galaxy with other packs and randoms.
In tick 36, the shuffle creates as many gals as possible with packs totalling 6 people (2 packs of 3, or 3 packs of 2)
Paid randoms are shuffled first (including packs of 1 person).
Free randoms are then distributed among those 6-person pack gals based on score - this means that the better free randoms are put into gals first and spread evenly across the universe with the less good ones being added in later. So all galaxies have an equal chance of getting good free players.
After the shuffle there will be lots of gals each with 6 people from packs and randoms givgin each galaxy approximatly 10 planets.
No more galaxies are ever created
When a galaxy exiles a planet they will be sent to c200+ like in this round.
Signups and exiles (returning form c200+) are distributed through these gals with no gal-size limit, placing them into a gal in the bottom 20% by planet count. So this means that the galaxies with the most players get the lowest possibly priority on new players.
Notes:
Mentor ? community volunteer / pa representative who will help people out where possible - normal players are shuffled as normal, PaTeam members moved to 1:1 etc

Re: r13 Gal setup
Basicly galaxy size is not fixed. At the shuffle of tick 36 all galaxies will get 6 pack members (2x3 or 3x2). Then the paid accounts are spread evenly over the universe (adding (my guess) ~3 players). Then the free accounts are spread evenly over the universe (adding another ~3 players). Based on the amount of packs we will get roughly 300 galaxies. In total we will then have 12-14 people per galaxy with at the start a maximum difference of 1 galmember.

i doubt there will be that many paid randoms and hence i expect smaller gal sizes.

Re: r13 Gal setup
was it the 'buddy packs of 3' that gave it away for you?
yes!
actually, you could be lucky and end up with another friendly pack in your gal, or friendly randoms. but that's probably not what you meant.

true but it will not be like r11 as all planets will start out in the same galaxy and then from there will be shuffled by the pact.

Re: r13 Gal setup
the only abuse left for the gal set up is admin abuse. since people r being shuffled in pacts they can't each try for a good gal and bring there friend there link in r11. so if the admins don't do any abuse at all then there should be no problem at all this round with the gal set up.
