RE: [Openme-developers] Alliance sizes?

Well, MAP is just that: Mutual Assistance.  Since combat code is 1 on 1,
MAP is useful since it will remove the attack button from members that
you have MAP with.  In BB, I expect to use MAP to extend who can be in
sector for attack; this way, numbers can remain hidden from CPL when an
operation is underway.  Minimize alliance hopping.
 
MAP can be used for many things: using another alliances stargates,
landing on ally bases etc.  Of course, none of that needs to be
addressed now, it is functionality that can wait.
 
I was discussing how forces and FMT/MAP would work with ChrisN and
others, I think by removing attack button on FMT/MAP stacks by allowing
the removal of FMT forces in sectors your alliances have claimed, and
adding/removing forces from MAP alliance stacks, would make things a lot
more interesting.
 
BTW, it has not been mentioned yet, but I believe that limits are in
order for treaty types:
 
FMT: Limit to 12 (must be accepted by both sides)
MAP: Limit to 4 (must be accepted by both sides)
WAR: Limit to 4 (does not have to be accepted on each side, so an
alliance can declare war on 4 alliances, but, they can have a whole lot
more alliance declare war on them.

Organise you mean base busts.. Well the whole point of redoing base
busting is that you shouldent need 20 guys. You can have but its not
nessesary, you can still inflict damage and thus we make the base
busting feature avaliable to alliances with less then 40 people

If MAP works now then I'd have no trouble with a max of 25. 20 is just
bit too small to organize anything with your own alliance
 
But if MAP doesn't work yet I won't be happy with anything less then 40

What should the alliance sizes be set at?, as discussed previously more
and smaller alliances would be nice. So how big should we set them?. I
am personaly thinking about a max size of 20-25.
