I think it works better like this with 1-tick attacks. However I really quite miss 3-tick attacks sometimes, it gave you more room to play around with different tactics. On the other hand planetarion now is really a better game in itself than what ******** ever was, the fact that I enjoyed it less is largely related to circumstances partially outside PA-teams control.

I tend to agree about 3 tick attacks, but for a different reason, I just think the workload required to DC has gone out of hand with waves showing up every 1h.
And I didn't mean to imply that you considered it double harmful, that's just my point of view, that from a offensive standpoint it's a double penalty. Naturally, a defense fleet has other benefits, but as it is the game skews towards one style of play because of the mechanics, and that's never a good thing. People should be mostly free to play in a way which is most enjoyable to them, so long as it doesn't completely ruin the enjoyment for all others.
