What this game needs is for the quality of players to be spread as equally as possible between all galaxies. The current system that we have between tick 0 and tick 36 promotes this to the best of its ability and does not need improving in the slightest.

The problem we are currently facing with galaxies is the exile system. This is what needs improving.
Yes, I agree, we all eat babies and rape the daughters.

Seriously, look around you, see how things are. Private galaxies would HELP smaller planets. OK, smaller players would have no shot at #1, but do they anyway? Being in a galaxy with a 1up member means you get incomming from big alliances, same if you're in a galaxy with LCH etc. It's how it is. The reason this happens is that alliances target their enemies, but in gal defence screws things up, so you have to hit whole galaxies. This puts smaller players in big galaxies in the firing line. If they were in other galaxies, they would not attract the attention of larger alliances (back in Fury when I was not even an officer, Sid objected to newbie bashing - it is a term used badly, most 'newbies' getting bashed are being bashed by other 'newbies' when they are in a non-big-alliance galaxy).

there has always been a deteriorating quality as you go down the rankings, it's one of those things. This is an appropriate place to say "shit happens". Unless you want to live in a liberal world where everyone is equal no matter of their circumstances, then you are in the wrong game. Full private is better for smaller players than the current system (and notice I am not arguing for full private).
