Defence at -1 is the minimum needed to receive any defence (of the same ship class) at all. However, no one will get any defence at all from players who aren't online (which is the main problem with pre-launching attacks).

SKs in attack fleets are becoming increasing common - even against casual players.

The game is not functioning "quite well" by any criteria you care to choose. An injection of a large number of new players might mask the problems but we're making no progress towards attracting even small numbers of them.

You're right that removing pre-launch would be a step back - but my contention is that it was a mistake to introduce it in the first place. (I said as much at the time).

You may be right with your summary. This idea may not prove to be an efficient measure - but we need to do something. Your idea of an "APP" with integrated IRC is also a good idea. Why don't we try both?
