Some thoughts on Alliances.. We were thinking of setting up alliances that will allow for a "Leader" that can invite people in to the alliance (maybe have a cap on an Alliance size). This is a Cross Server alliance. You would have a cross server chat room that is shared by the alliance. When you are playing a game and you look at the player listings you would see another tab added to the screen which is called Alliance. This screen would show all players in the Alliance, and it would list at the top the people in your Alliance in your current game.

Everything in the Alliance would be sharable. ie, you would be able to terraform Alliance Planets, use alliance jump gates, and jump through their space like it was yours. You also share all your visible space. What that means is you will be able to look at anything going on in any of their sectors.

Thoughts?
