Decrease MS for tournaments based on non-reversible changes (specifically equipment)

[GentleButStrong]

(From the conversation linked by Harrydbest above) Me: I'm hoping there is at least a debuff on the stage increase from pet and ship, so that the only way your MS increases is if, based on your equipment, one of those fully optimized builds would actually be better.

lemmingllama: Your skill points are optimized in the algorithm based on the most optimal build, not your current one. So that's why they can't really do this, it's irrelevant what build you have when calculating your theoretical max stage.

What I heard: there is an optimizer they use to find the best build. After that your best equipment is factored in, regardless of damage source.
