Agreed, it hinders your ability to defend your factions planets, build, make adjustments like power, barracks etc. Making it easier for the enemy to take it and all you can do is fall back.
Considering the low level player base we have its seems alittle pointless.

actually we should be able to lock at a specific level instead of our highest level. So if your a GA you can lock it at any level under GA ect. The flip side of that is locking it at a high level stops Sabo as there arn't many unfleeted GA+ players, and even fewer M+.

I'd argue it the other way around.
Because of how many low level players who dont have the concept of what to put where and why, I am all for locking them up.
My attitude would be different if the newer players were teachable, but they have a know-it-all attitude when you try to help them. When I get that, I lock the rock.
That's not harsh, that's common sense.

(those idiots being the sabotaging noobs that force us to lock planents)

Well the point shouldn't be the ability to lock GAs out of planets...

Ok. Two things. First, Fast StarCommander is right. We should be able to lock the planets at any level under and up to our rank.
Secondly, shame on older players for saying they lock the planets to keep noobs from making poor builds. Preventing sabotage is one thing, which I really cant see being a big issue in a game of 9 players. Everyone knows everyone and everyone will know who did the sabotage. With only a hand full of player data streaming into the servers, it shouldnt be hard for a mod or admin to sift through and search for sabotage.
I am one of the highest ranked builders in this game. I got that way by BUILDING. I built a LOT. I built all different types of variations on all different types of planets to see what worked well and what didnt. Even though the standard builds might be the best, doing it wrong helped me learn why it was the best from many different angles.
If you want this game to recover, you should be happy to see new players dinking around with building, trying to figure it out and optimize their own designs. If building was meant to be a precise template, then the game would build them by itself.

Yea, I know, but there really is no real perk to gaining >GA except for locking planets and bragging rights.
