What if we could start a game with an alliance already formed between players? I mean this as sort of a way to create a 2v2 or whatever type game without having to be enemies first, then form alliances and this could force an even alliance structure in the lobby so that you can't create a game that's like 2vFFA or something like that but instead could create a game where the galaxy starts with alliances pitted against other alliances and in these games the alliance researches could provide bonuses to the alliance so they're still worth researching. 


Just a thought as a fun alternative to the normal FFA with handshakes mode of game play.

That sounds fun, but alliances are possible through a specific technology that must be unlocked. What are you proposing be done with that?

I would suggest a modification to those technologies when playing this game mode that provides greater bonuses for the alliance. For example, perhaps when two fleets of the same alliance are fighting in a system after researching on of these technologies they get minor bonuses to evasion and/or damage. Perhaps these researches could reduce the upkeep cost for science and trade agreements within the alliance or increase diplomacy options within the alliance to permit lower costs in trading.

I don't think we really need it, both players can cooperate while being in cold war before forming an alliance.

I don't think that the technology rebalance would work like that, at best force unlock it for everyone at start or give Alliances heavy debuffs if not unlocked yet...
