well i'll defend the idea to see if it has any use in it.
how many people are going to stick around every hour every night to get jgps on their planets to see when new people pre-launch or what pre-launches have changed? and then cover / recover when needed? (this type of activity is fun and should be rewarded according to you shouldn't it?
) pre-launches aren't displayed on the galaxy status and the eta can change at any time. there would be more interesting fake attacks as well as you can't tell when the attack will actually launch from a jgp. so it's very different then having higher eta ships.
the biggest benefit is being able to leave earlier for sleep. your chances of landing would be reduced, but it's hard to predict to what degree. to say there is NO use to prelaunch is wrong.
if anything, i could see dcs still waiting for attacks to actually launch before sending most def fleets because it's too uncertain otherwise. now in the case of people who don't want to wake up at 4am (most people don't find this type of activity fun and less and less are willing to do it btw) to send defence, at least they have some way to send some def out.
and there would be a big point in waiting just before a tick to *launch your attack
