If this means that player skill and coordination matter more than server roulette in a fleet battle, then I will be back in null in a heartbeat.

I don't see the difference between everything moving slowly or being stuck frozen. Either way things take forever to clear out.
The problem with lag isn't commands taking a long time to happen, it's commands getting lost in a fashion that may as well be random--so skill is irrelevant if your fleet can't respond after jump-in, but the enemy can. If responsiveness is there, then skill becomes a factor once more, which will hopefully make a big difference to enjoyment.

TD takes the current broken combat mechanics of large scale fleet fights and PRESERVES THE MECHANICS OF THE ORIGINAL GAME regardless of the blob size! HOW THE **** is this some sort of advantage to blobs???
Any change that anyone dislikes will promote blobbing....somehow. It's a buzzword that you can use to argue against anything if you're determined enough.
And really, I cannot imagine that any of the listed possible side-effects of TD would be worse than lag as it exists now.

The only downside that I see to this is that it reduces the impact of quick reaction time and reflexes. If everything goes into super-slow-mo, an FC and tacklers are going to have a long, long, time to call targets, get bubbles up, get points on, etc.
If both FC's have the same time (unlike flipping a coin to see who can act, like now), I don't really see that as a problem. Who knows, it might encourage tactics beyond "Everyone shoot that one guy, and hope that the tiny proportion of attacks that the server recognises can alpha him."
