You missed the point there: I do PL def a fair bit. I had it against me just the once this round, used it twice with clippers and three or four times with rogues. Nevertheless game mechanics make it unusual. Of all def fleets I would bet that under 10% are the meta class above the one they are defending.
But one of the reasons it is strong is because it is common for downward shooters to be somewhat stronger than upward firing. This is done because a, those below have two ticks to gather def, and b, it is considerably harder to def CO with DE etc. (Outside gal anyway)
If it is no longer harder then there needs to be consideration of that when making the stats.
