So, you still have less available cash to utilise unless you make the starting resources such that people can immediately init enough roids to make up the difference (eg, 400k resources by end of protection irrespective of whether its 36 or 72 ticks). But that's alot more roids and stuff.

Increased resources at start so that resource potential by PT24 or 36 is the same as it is now.

Have 'research fighter hulls' quest reward you with 1-2 factories in your smallest pod class.

I still think the benefits make it well worth it. And the issues mentioned are easily overcome.
