Don't forget that ship transfer delays were only a thing after some of us here had to tell FDev that instant would break their game. So going on with the theme of incompetence, they didn't even know their own game well enough not to know this. If we hadn't pointed out the obvious, PP would have been broken, you could call in your armada right away and overpower a system, ASPs would become the only ships used to get you to your destination before magically teleporting your ships and a few other glaring errors too.
It wasn't some it was a vote which only verified accounts got to take part in. I couldn't think of a more competent way to decide really, it also filtered out the trolls.
