I'm more concerned about the effect of automatic launches and the (only) -1 ETA for alliance defence.
Everyone and his grandmother/dog/second cousin (delete as appropriate) will set their launches at 04:00 GMT (approx). This will mean that anyone who is asleep will be unable to get defence from outside his galaxy (unless his galaxy has a night watchman to scream in alliance channels - and get a response inside of 1 hour). This will happen night after night after night.......... well, you get the picture.
Defence will rapidly become but a distant memory - we'll all be forced to launch counter-attacks instead (at a much less advantageous time of day).
Alternatively we can just join in with everyone else - pick 3 targets, set launchtimes and go to bed. Wake up and log in to see how lucky we've been.
Ah well. :-(
