I'm sure there's been all sorts of other ticker-related hassle with productions, covert operations, and such behaving a way not intended. This all has been avoided with locking down things for the duration of the tick.

I wasn't really asking a simple question, it was a question about why the game doesn't support it yet. Transactions have been available in databases for years, the ticker and the game should be able to cope with players taking actions at the same time.
PAX has been around for 3.5 years, yet instead of improving the situation the solution is just to restrict all planets.
