I'd just like to say that I think whoever thought up the priority level system is brilliant!
PL is better than a point system for a few reasons:
1. It produces more realistic fleets. Under a point system people would just load up on battleships and battlecruisers for the most part (or whatever their favorite type of ship is) and take 1 or 2 destroyers to use up some extra points. With the multiple ships per point rule, you get proportional numbers of smaller ships to the larger ones for the most part.
2. Point systems accuracy is overrated. I've never seen a point system that REALLY appropriately priced all the units. The system pretends to be accurate by getting down to subtle distinctions in the point costs of units, but in reality, its not any more accurate than the general groupings offered by the priority level system.
Anyway, I just wanted to post my thoughts on the subject b/c I saw on another forum where somebody was griping about not having a "true" point system. I say "good riddance!"
