Because back in 2009, when the game was actually good and not the "rush the choke point whit the SB".
The old sins, the sins what loved, got changed by the new meta. I want options, that are easily implemented to experience the old, classical sins.
In other words, it takes nexst to no effort for iron clad to implement, and will give the grizzy old timers a old game mode back.
Now, i know there are mods that do this, but the point is, that this should be a feature of game play. Super weapons, titans and star bases are meta that takes away from capital ships and fleet maneuvers.
