I'm not against clusters. I think they are a good thing to have, combined with the shorter round length, simply because more complex geography is more interesting than what we have currently.

But they don't have much they can lose. They don't need roids, and even their fleet would be replacable fairly quickly if they were fleetcaught.

Well they need to be pretty determined to be continually successful when they do lose their fleet, as to be a viable XP whore, you have to keep landing. When you couldn't be hit, it was easy, now you can be stripped of your roids and your fleet pretty quickly, so you can't even save a lot of res, or stick it in your galaxy/alliance fund for later if you need fleet/want an end of round score boost. Playing XP is no longer easy - in fact it's just as difficult as value play, except in a way that demands consistently landing rather than consistently watching your planet and building it up.
