TRAINING WARS
It would be very cool if you could train your alliance members to fight without them actually losing their ships, it would be even better to test out wars against whole alliances. So you have a button, by alliance truce that says TRAINING WAR. You can propose to have a training war with a person or an alliance. When you sign up, your mothership is moved out of galaxy and cannot be attacked. What you see as the galaxy is a hologram and your not actually attacking someone. Each ship you have is represented and every time you lose one it costs 1% of it's total cost to get it back. You can't resupply fleets. The objective is to get your target below 30% of their original strength in a certain amount of time. When you are finished battling you hyper to a marked place on the map and appear at a random point in the galaxy. That way you can train properly.
Their could also be AI enemies that can attack anyone and will try and kill you (even when you are not online), the Alliance leader/the person that set the war up would control their fleet power. Your ships could also get 1.5 times as much experience every war. You would only be able to have a war once every month and a war could only last three game days, that way people couldn't be in a war forever and not get hit. You wouldn't get secret asteroid base income but you would get double experience for your commander. Your Bio-farms wouldn't generate income and you couldn't use any credit or segment items. You would not be able to capture segments.
BATTLE FORMATIONS
Right now every ship must use the same tactics, fly up, say hello and blast away. No formations just blasting. So before a battle you could drag the pictures of your ship into certain slots, big ones for ships over 606060 pace, smaller ones for ships below 606060 space and groups of 10,000 for ships below. Where your ships were deployed would decide which enemy ships are shot, what bonuses you get. Bear in mind that theses are not exact figures just guesses please remark on the idea not the number. For example:
Frontal Assault+10% damage and 5% chance one of your enemy's weapons won't work
Rear Assault+15% damage and +10% turn cost until repaired
Side Assault+25% that boarding parties will get there
And also bonuses for ship size vs ship size

GALAXY WARS
Two sides, one victorious, two objectives, everyone on WARS!!!!, resource is growing scarce. One side want to hoard all resources and build a few planets to strive and live on. One side to share and research into the making of more resources. Two Sides, one Battle and an awful lot of Titanic bangs later one side is victorious.
Once resources in the galaxy fall below a certain limit a galaxy war starts. Each Alliance has to declare allegiance to one side or the other, and if someone is not on for 3 weeks before the war without notifying emi then they are moved to the side with the least collective power. The objective is to hold systems. To win you have to control more than 60% of the galaxy. The creative, sharing side can do this by having more than 110% of the enemy fleet power in that system. The Hoarding side by building an outpost( Downgraded space stations) that cost 500 segments.
The Sharing side operates like one massive alliance with a council ruling it, the hoarding side by the most powerful person. If the hoarding side wins all the resources in the galaxy are given to the most powerful players on their sides, if the sharing side wins, 5 random active players/ Alliance/Side leaders are awarded a planet and each system is replenished with bountiful resources.
ALLIANCE STANCE
An alliance should be able to have three stances towards every other alliance, to choose a stance you search their name then choose stance, otherwise you are considered neutral. On neutral stance you operate normally. In allied stance whenever you warp into a system with an ally in that has been attacked you can counter (if within 20-150% fleet power range) and fi they are enemy there name appears red and the game reports who and there location to the alliance leader.
And if that's not a long post I don't know what is
