This response does not answer my question, it's just a repetition of the statement that prompted that question in the first place. Your suggestion does not achieve your stated goal of reducing its strength while keeping it viable. What it does is make it worthless. Is that your goal, yes or no?

Not to mention that you can use Research hack to make up the 8200 RP with ~~ 50 cov ops, which caths can have done by about pt250. However they wont, what cov op means is that planets stay in Demo 40-50 ticks longer before anarchy into either total/corp.

It's better to use 8400 RP to cov op pods than to use 2400 RP to just build them yourself? It's better to spend an extra (8400 - 2400 = ) 5800 RP at tick 0 and catch up after ~175 ticks than to just play standard?
All your posts are doing is convincing me that you're exaggerating how much of a problem this actually is.
(I like berten's idea of partial successes, but that's a different subject.)
