I’m an old dog, from an era when you calculated how many dreads you needed to one cycle reinforce a tower because the moment that notification email got sent out cyno chains would start lighting from all over to drop on a group of dreads. One cycling a structure isn’t the concern.
Arguing that ‘one person in a gunner seat shouldn’t be able to deter a “determined” attack force’ and then nerfing these things so one guy in a dread can pretty well reliably REF them and you can just keep the rest of your fleet sitting at home on a titan bridge(insert bridge of choice) is hilariously bad. That’s the kind of thing that kills content. At least when you have to move your fleet around, even if it’s only a couple of systems to the next bridge, your ships are out in space to be bombed, stragglers picked off, an opportunity for a at least a skirmish, happen upon another random roaming group, whatever.
