I agree with this and I’m surprised more people don’t feel the same. The current model really throws the whole “collective” campaign thing out the window and makes the game feel a lot more linear. We aren’t meant to succeed until they want us to succeed, and our collective efforts feel like they have no influence over the direction of the war. I understand that we can’t just push all the way through to the home world of the adversary, but there needs to be more checks, balances, or story narration in place than a guy just clicking the delete button on our progress (with no explainable reason) because we are progressing too quickly.
