Thanks for the clarification.

If you dont think the longer research to the end of the cov op tree damages those cheating enough you could always extend the time some of the researches in the tree take as well.

Ultimately while all cheating is to be abhorred if doing the cheating so damages them in other ways that they derive no real gain over normal players out of their cheating then either a, they wont do it, or b, everyone else wont have a problem covering their amazing cov op fleet because it will be so small, with slow tt etc! It therefore becomes much less of a problem.
