The problem is that t2 and t3 drop off in efficiancy so steeply, otherwise you could cover a lot more ground with the same ships(f.ex. drakes wouldn't be nearly as useless). Secondly because defence is nigh on impossible for most people, the game has become about forcing the defender to run. If you can't fake it or force a run, the roids are quite possibly going to be too costly considering how short a period of time you are likely to be able to hold on to them. Also the stats have been built for teaming up to the extent that it's forcing people to team up(the issue of not being able to take losses re-inforces this).
By making the game ultra-aggressive it's become harder to attack solo, since you simply can't compete. The idea of having a token amount of ships against a given type of incoming used to be absurd, now it's about as much as the non-defwhore can do to avoid incomings. And worse yet, it bloody works! Argh.
