New idea to me. I don't think ND will end above 1up, unless 1up lose their war with eXi by a huge amount. :/

I wasn't around for this policy change, but looking back, it seemed to make the most sense. With 1up/Reunion retaining the NAP and no backup, ND were not going to beat 1up. And IMO, ND deserved to finish above reunion, targetting 1up and allowing reunion to tear their way ahead of us (as they were also hitting our planets... maybe not quite as heavily as previously, but DC channel logs still show quite a few nasty reunion incs. Carl generally hit us with both of his attack fleets all day long, recalling/relaunching for instance)

To be fair, ND were in a pretty bad position. They had no strong political backup from anyone as Insomnia and LCH had both collapsed. A lot of our best officers were still quite tired from the reunion wars, and they had just lost their attacks HC meaning they had to use a handful of BCs with little or no experience of this round and try and keep some form of continuity.
These BCs did an excellent job, but they had mostly got little experience of the round and needed to get a feel for the alliance they were controlling and for the BCing changes we made this round... it takes something special to beat an alliance like 1up, and if you're just busy getting used to what resources you have, it can be very difficult to pull off something special
That said, I don't think we could have beaten 1up when we were at our best either tbh.
