If Jason did not change it back to 5 AT, it would have been the end of MS massings/battles. We were there.
I don't see it as a bad thing personally. I havent been massed with a strike force in forever, its always just MS strafers who suffer menial loses in man power. To each their own I guess.
Yet it would have killed one aspect of the game.
well it has already "killed" one aspect of the game. No one keeps defenses because of massive MS and the fact the attacker takes minial losses of UU when massing. So its pretty much an even trade.
sure, and those 30 tril defenses popping up do not count
I do not know what you expect ... probably to be able to build a cheap 3 tril defense / 20 mil supers and never to be massed?
Building a massive MS was a conscious choice for some players. The amount invested in the MS would have gotten them about 1 mil raw UP. Why do you want to punish them but not the ones who decided against in built that UP?
