and new race has OP covoping. In that the success ratio is the same, but new race gets x5 bonus when completing a covop

The goal is to spread the fleets over multiple targets where they can deal considerable losses (think: 5-6 ticks of income for each wave landing?) rather then grabbing 500 roids from 1 2k planet. This way with enough effort you could actually still cause said top planet to gain no income for 24hours straight, but he atleast has a chance to cover some of your waves, even if the first one manages to land.

2) Hiding ships takes 8 ticks - what if my alliance sends a wave 2?

3) Having ships in prod means there is half-finished ships and stocks of resources in these factories. Those could be mine, if I only tried to actually get them!

You literally never mentioned any of these things.
