Space station

[Jeffsupersaiyan]

The Space station Should be used to protect all alliance members no matter where they are. they just have to get the tech to use it. for instance if i have a space station. i can use it to protect the alliance members . also get rid or ranked attacks . it defeats the purpose of having a galaxy when the battle should be their and not on the ranking boards. or hide commanders power.

i second that. such structures should have alliance wide benifits and localize combat. location should be a factor in battle as well as power. Ideally of course. if it's possible and playable.

Nah, cause then it's whoevers got the highest ranked alliance, and whoever has the most turns (i.e. I could just run around the galaxy until my attacker ran out of turns)
and also who has a hard name to spot:
like "BLAAAAAAAAAH YOU DIE NOW (#......)" will be easy to see in a system, whereas "pie (#..)" will be easier to overlook...so some people can hide while others won't be able to.

BLAAAAAAAAAH YOU DIE NOW ???lol

I think it would be cool if the space station protected members within the quadrent or have some other range limit because galaxy wide is too overpowered. This way you have different alliacne zones that could be a fun part of the game.

The problem is that if you have a huge alliance with 5 top ten players they all build there space stations in the same quadrant and nobody can tough them anymore.

But then they're all in one qudrent and not bothering anyone else. You just venture out away from them. Or you could do it so that the galaxy is sectioned like in a video game so the farther out you go, the higher power the encounters or mining stuff. The big alliances would fight for the big stuff and the smaller alliances would fight for the small stuff.
