I don't really think sending 100k FI at the eta of FR can be described as 'clever'. Furthermore, with ships all appearing at the same eta, you'd still be making assumptions of your incs based firstly on number of units sent so this still lends itself to being able to mask the nature of your fleet. I'm not suggesting this would make the game better or that faking would therefore be more interesting, but it certainly doesn't eliminate faking.
Also, the problems with cloaking and the "lazy play" you refer to wouldn't be affected by this idea. Without cloak, you can't get away with just sending pods so no matter what you were faking with, you'd still be sending real numbers and you'd still have to follow up on your attacks. It's nothing like the idea of Xans just sending pods at people then forgetting about PA for three days.
It's alright Kaiba - just admit you don't like being roided by Xan pods.
