As has been stated,anyone can be broken.The idea is to be the least inviting target.
If i am looking at 3 20k countries and 1 has 7mil turrets,1 with 5,and 1 with 10..You better be the one with 10.
That isn't entirely true. If i assigned different size tags SOF, SANCT and WOF for example. You would make very different decisions based on what tag is attached to the country. The alliances play a huge role on what happens and if you get grabbed or not. Not to mention if i slapped an untagged on one of those.
I don't think pursuing the Missiles/spy op Avenue is of any good. And it is of no benefit to the country that is sending the Missiles. It doesn't stop farming and will only further escalate situations.
The declaring war thing is pretty simple. It gives you an additional 10% boost on top of the PS bonus already. That is skewed toward the aggressor for every 1 jet you need 1.65 turrets to defend. Meaning i need to carry even more defense to stop your grab or retals. If my alliance can save me that extra military why wouldn't it try. If you want to be able to declare war you need to be able to enforce it.
PDM isn't in a position where it can enforce a policy on other alliances. Some of the things in your policy are major changes.
