    Some nice ideas. At any rate, it's worthwhile to look at possible ways SE could encourage better population balance between servers.

    -A FC would have to have at least seven members active in the last 45 days that would qualify for the transfer, be six months on the server, and be rank 8 (rank 6 if we're being generous). Seven members MUST transfer before the FC receives their bonuses. If seven members do NOT transfer, the transfer takes place but the benefits, including the housing reserve, are essentially frozen until they do.
    I can understand the rules regarding player level or FC rank in order to keep players from deliberately starting on a high population world just to immediately move elsewhere with the extra bonuses. But what would be the point of requiring a certain size of FC? (If anything, I'd think the small FCs are the most likely to want such an option, as it's easier to reach a consensus among a smaller number of players.)

    -Server transfers of any kind are disabled for any of those players (and FCs, for what that's worth) for six months after that transfer.
    Though I understand why you included these rules, I'd be a bit concerned about abuse from them. If someone only agrees to move because their FC was, but then they get kicked from that FC, plus lose all their bonuses in the process and can't even move back, then they really got shafted. I'm not sure I'd want FC leaders to have that much power over other players' games. (Unfortunately, I can't think of a good alternative rule that would prevent people joining just for the chance to transfer with bonuses, but which wouldn't be open to abuse.)
