Great Idea So the idea is to have large buddy packs for when the game is shuffled. 8 man buddy packs, sounds legit a good idea for me?

I like the idea of Buddy packs but 8 is a little to much. If you have only let's say 10 planets to a gal that would be way to many in the same alliance. If you are going to have lets say 15 at least in a gal that would be a good number.
