Bigger class "defships" that gets eta advantage. Giving more room for defence. Can't do it the other way around, unless you want 2+ tick eta advantage on def.
Do it on attack class ships and pods, and we may aswell scrap the original metaclass eta's. Do it just on the ships and not pods, could make scetchy scenarios where people analyze incs wrong, but most likely not.
It is basicly a feature to help things get more defensive.
As it "has" to be the higher class metas that gets reduction base eta and not Fi/Co class.

In the current set only spiders was tampered with in Fi/Co meta. Giving it Fr/De base eta as a def ship vs DE. All other adjustments are Fr/De/Cr/Bs that attack downwards, or Fr/De that defends upwards. I'd love to see how any statcreator can do something different with that and yet have balanced stats.

I try to imagine seeing a Co attack fleet having Fr/De base eta, and a Fr/De fleet having Fi/Co base eta...
