I believe they are shorting their timer from 7:30 minutes to 5 minutes because people are using it to hold their position in the last hour of combat so they do not lose their spot. Personally the long timer helps. If you don’t attack until the last 2 minutes then you have 5 minutes of holding you basically have an hour where nobody can attack you to advance in positions. I’ve found this tactic to help me stay in the 1-20 rankings for fleet
I was going to say something similar. If CG is seeing data that indicates people are taking a full 7:30 to do battles, it's because many players use timer manipulation to keep opponents from attacking. Dropping it to 5 minutes is going to negate that strategy.
Not going to form an opinion on this change either way until it actually rolls in.
