Yes I believe everybody is able to launch a fleet during the 72 ticks following their end of protection. Since when do people need to complete the Travel Branch in order to attack ? If it is not enough then make it the length you feel is needed. The basic idea remains:
The current problem is PA Team having fun destroying fleets attacking the planet bots. I'm not sure it should be the job of PA team and when it is fleets from new players/late signings being vaporized it achieves nothing good for the player base. The food chain is broken.

Now if PA Team doesn't like the planet bots to be attacked there is a simple solution: remove the planet bots.
