Supose u could divide an alliance up, and just keep the Zik people back for deffence,.. but that wud still mean memebers getting roided,.. just also mean attacking fleets loosing them,...
As for how would deffenging gaining XP work,.. it would have to go in with the value of the ships u destroy (or steal, or emp),...
but that makes cheeting even easier since u can get peopel to send there ships at your bace to get destroyed, while your XP goes up,.. ..
There needs to be more advantage made to deffending fleets,..
perhaps allowing them to stay for 3 ticks,..
Alternativly, u scrap the whole XP and value/score thing,.... which i think wud be a bad thing myself,....
bring back PDS,.. that's what i say !!!!
