I'm not saying it would be bad, but it's going further towards simplifying choices and emphasizing defensive play.

Personally I'm a big fan of a balance between defense and offense, and to that effect I believe a well balanced multitargeting set without the use of T3 = * is the best choice.
hmm.. Changing defense/offense values by a multiplier would also be an option to encourage offensive play.

For example harpy could get an additional +10% on offense or something like that. I think multipliers are much more versatile than fix values. Modifying them for different situations would be possible.
Also this change doesnt have to be final. Like now every round system changes from MT to ST PA could change from fix shipstats to multiplier shipstats
