Yes they get a bit more LF but they are also a few YEARS behind most of the TUKs so what are a few trillion LF compared to a few years of ATs and farming and whatnot?
It's the same as when AJ first made the change so MSs weren't lost anymore when ascending. A good couple of us spent a lot of naq after each ascension because we lost our MSs, and then all of a sudden people didn't lose MSs anymore and it was a bit easier for those to catch up our main accounts. What do you expect in a never-resetting game as old as this one? Do you want the noobs to start out with 3 UUs, 100ATs and 1 mill naq and, what was it, 30 UP? Yeah, awesome way to get new blood to the game..

My ascended RepliBlocks are having a very hard time Replicating, despite having been given a huge boost of Life Force from my one-time APP conversion.
Please consider: An account that ascends for the first time. If you are not able to have the initial boost of production and charisma levels, then it will be very very very very very very very^21221 hard for anyone to increase their CER to a point where they get an army size that allows them to farm. As it is for me with level 1400 production and 800 charisma, i've not even been able to build 1k fleets so far. Remove the APP > LF conversion, and you remove any ability for a new member to even begin to build their account. You either need to allow a one-time conversion for the first ascension, or provide a method around the 1/5th rule to allow new accounts to farm DMU to build up from the start.
If you don't think this is neccessary, work out the amount of time it'll take a new account starting with a fresh account and 0 APP to build up to 1B army size.

- The larger your planet count the more LF you will convert automatically per turn change. Vice versa the smaller your planet count is (trying not to give too much power to noobs).
- The change plateaus at 400 bill per turn and maximizes at 1 trill.
See the calc on the first page.
