Re: Prelaunch(again)
With that feeble attempt at humour out of the way, I am pretty much in favour of any mechanism that weakens prelaunch that does not have nasty side effects. I don't see any here, so full speed ahead, as far as I'm concerned.

I would also be OK with removing it altogether. Fortunately, I am not as big an optimiset as ArcChas, so I will not be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

Limiting prelaunch to a few ticks is and was fairly pointless, in my opinion. With 2 ticks prelaunch, you can prelaunch at 23:01 and have your fleet show up at 02:00. A fleet that shows up at 2am is just as bad as one that shows up at 4am.

This is not an argument against reducing the strength of prelaunch. Why was it changed back? Where there well-found reasons for reverting the change, or was it just mass whining?
