Proposal:
I propose that the an extra Alliance BP statistic (alliance attackers, alliance defenders and alliance fighters) should be provided, calculated as the sum of the relevant member BPs rather than BP gained in that alliance, the same as the current system for an alliances total points. The previous BP (historic BP) could still be shown in another column/tab as it does have some historical value, just not as much statistical value
Reason:
When computing BP statistics to compare alliances, the figures as they are now calculated do not always (or generally) give an accurate picture. Newly formed alliance with high ABP members will have no ABP to their credit, alliances who have had aggressive members leave them are still credited with that BP and have wildly skewed averages. If the alliances ABP was the sum of its players ABP, we would have a much fairer comparison (and the BP stats would be more consistent with the point stats since they'd be calculated in the same way).
Can you imagine that the alliance points were given as the total points earned by members under the alliance banner rather than the sum of the points of the players? you would end up having disbanded alliances at number 1 and other ridiculous situations (which does happen in the BP stats)
the best measure would really be BP per day, but this is not the most practical and people also enjoy seeing as accumulation of BP rather than averages. the best proxy to BP per day is total member BP, which i am proposing (this assumes of course that good players remain good players regardless of what alliance they are in, which in my exp is a fair assumption)
Details:
Currently an alliance's ABP is made up of any kills made by any current or past members during their time in the alliance. I propose that an additional alliance BP statistic be provided, calculated the same manner that alliance points are calculated - as the sum of the appropriate BP of the current members.
Visual Aids:

Balance:
No effect in-game, only to statistics.

Summary:
An extra column in the BP statistics providing the total player BP in an alliance which would be more consistent with the point statistics.
