Even with PHost alliance settings there is still lots of information
you don't get about an ally's ships and planets. I will only share RSTs
with an ally I trust completely - i.e. a game which is specifically set
up as a "team" game, rather than a game in which I make an alliance for
diplomatic purposes. No matter how strong you think the alliance is, it
might break if it's not a team game.

formerly I played on a host that allowed the exchange of rsts with other
players implemented on the hostside - e.g. you told the host to send
your rst also to your ally. In that case, I exchanged rsts with my ally.

Nowadays my current host does not offer that. But now I also play mostly
phost than thost. With the alliance settings there, I think it is not
necessary as I get all information a rst could give to me. If I form an
alliance that is more than a NAP (a combat and possibly a minefield
alliance), the exchange of information is vital - knowledge of your
ally's empire helps to co-ordinate.
