The problem is that these fights are rarely just one alliance against another. there may be one core alliance defending and a coalition of four or five alliances attacking. That means they get 200 defenders and the opposition gets 800-1000? Sorry, no go.

The fact is that any imposed limitation will be exploitable. EVE players are bright. I can't think of anything better than the current situation. there will always be a point where the hardware or software will suffer under the strain. I remember bad lag at a few hundred a couple years ago. Now those battles come off without a hitch. It's a thing of beauty. everybody is making a big deal about an event that is a) rare in EVE b) constantly improving and c) unheard of in any other game. Honestly, there is absolutely no problem here. None. Nowadays most players will never see a moment of lag in their EVE careers. the EVE haters crack me up.
