A new galaxy won’t fix the issue, as we’ll end up with bottom families there too and eventually a new person will face the same problem they face now.
This is the real problem.
The need “to always have a gal with open spots” is already being met. There are 20 open spots right now across 2 galaxies. We don’t need more spots, we need existing spots to be more playable.
That said, if a Patron wishes to make or sponsor a galaxy, they are more than welcome to. It won’t solve the root issue but it may provide some short term relief.
How about a galaxy where empires are deleted after 500 ticks? Once deleted, that empire could then be prevented from rejoining the same galaxy for a day.
That way, there will always be people leaving, and spots will be available in both big and small families.
If I am the new guy you are referring too, no worries. I’ll need some time to get a grasp on the game. Like I wrote in the introduction, not much experience with these games (or any digital game at all). Just enjoying the area and looking forward to get into the game once I get a grasp of everything
