Hardcoding OOT def out of the game wouldn´t completely abolish the possible uses of support planets though. You can for example use them for def leeching before you launch real attacks. Also, it´s possible to some extend to try and exile into the same cluster as the planet you want to support, making the OOT def in cluster def and therefor basically viablea anyway.

Paisley constantly ignores the fact that support planets do not have to be multis at all. It´s not that hard to get some people signup to support you every now and then. With the "run and hide" option people don´t even need to worry about getting the fleet killed while they´re offline for a day. Also, everybody has the option to get people to sign up a planet to support you, if you choose not to do, you can´t exactly blame others. It´s pretty much the along the lines of "I don´t have an alliance so it´s unfair others do". The option is there, you don´t need to cheat for it.
However, the main argument Paisley put forward is oog/oot use of support planets. Looking at the developement of the past rounds, with most allies not even filling their tags, that´s pretty certainly not a valid point at all. While ship/roid farming and multiing is illegal anyway, there´s no use for out of tag support planets since there is plenty of tag space available.
It´s not exactly surprising though someone who has been disfavoured by strong alliance cooperation above the levels that used to be standard in the past what, 20 rounds or more, tries to find a way not to be faced with this cooperation again.
After all, this whole support planet rule argument here is not based on the actual use of support planets, but the out of tag def two allies sent each other.
That said, some other allies used it as well, maybe Paisleys ally didn´t get enough of the share and he doesn´t like it at all for that reason.
