Do you
really get equal numbers of each class of incoming? Certainly in Round 14 the great majority of incoming was CR/BS, and without fake defence we would have been screwed.

Why must activity become even less important? - but that's a different question.
Fake defence is a powerful weapon, and some would argue that it has become over-used of recent times. I'm not an advocate of this, but I think that it has reached its limit. Being able to select a mission where the fake defence automatically recalls makes things just too easy for the defenders. What about the fun games where Vsh are used to defend against Terran DE fleets? You just make things too easy for defenders if you don't force them to be online to recall at eta 1/whenever.
Find me on IRC if you want me to go into more details, my hands are tired.
