I agree. And there's one more way in which the stats influence politics: the more defensive the stats, the harder it is to land attacks, and the bigger you need your block to be if you want to roid an alliance efficiently.
With single-target stats, in which covering all 6 classes requires 6 ships, landing attacks is easy, and to roid an alliance efficiently, you need 2 alliances.
With multi-target stats, you often need just 4 ships to cover all classes (Cat, Xan and Etd this round), increasing the amount of defense available against your fleet by a factor of 1.5, compared to single-target stats. This means that in order to ptarget an alliance, you need upwards of 4 full tags. BF, Asc and CT have all experienced this first-hand.
