tl;dr

However, I guess since the issue was a request for a timer, to limit the ability for troops to instantnly redeploy, and the developer that was supposed to be looking at the issues comes back to the thread 2 months later without a clue as to what the first 30 pages were about, I guess this arguement goes to STC.

Gratz, STC wins by means of neglect.

Or our argument is the correct one

This no indication of agreement in your arguement, only a lack of interest that resulted in the status quo.

And I remember at one point even posting a cooldown idea that would not involve people staring at the terminal background for 10 minutes

The problem is that sparks allow you to project force instantly to ten different locations - which currently may as well be everywhere.

There has been several different ideas to how to make that less of an issue but the real focus seems to be how badly it effects beta gameplay.

afaik nobody is bothered about gamma sparks or alpha sparks right now.

Actuallym everyone have 1 spark set at Alpha-2 main storage base, then (optional) 1 at home/alliance Gamma base, other 3 optional could be Beta-1 main terminals to look for small-scale PvP, and 2-3 more (optional) at those Beta OP that are providing assignments (obsoleted with new system). In worst case that makes 8 targets and I hardly doubt anyone leveled that extension higher that at 9, which leaves one free target which is usually a Tellesis. That's how most of ppl use SpT (IMO) and I don't see a way to control all the Betas with that as you describe here. I mean, you don't see any instant force projections at Iisetsu and Laosura for example, ...

And there it is, too lazy to defend your assertions, maybe if you could spark to the quote you'd do it.

(Edit: I don't expect devs to actually change anything, but this dig was just too good to pass up)

That wasn't even really that good, you have had far better...imho.  To be brutally honest, if it wasn't for the fact that you used the term "Assertions"  I would have thought beastmode made that post for you.

How to kill Blood Sparking and force atleast one or two Alpha sparks?

Remove the option to set any Alpha terminal and outpost from any terminal as home station. Just the terminal you are in should be allowed to set as a home base.
