I think that's a fatal mistake in zero-k design. It's a multiplayer game, players are at the core of any interaction.

The most fun I have in this game, is when I know that my own actions directly led to victory. Everyone has their own enjoyment from the game, however we're all human. And ego is an inseparable part of us, when you try to dilute individual presence into a homogenous blob (team) then you lose a lot of appeal for some people. I can tolerate being forced to share resources with less competent allies morphing their commander to level 10 while not making any metal extractors.

New players are a perfect example of how the unintuitive game systems run contrary to human behavior, they will enthusiastically claim resource spots and even destroy allied resource mexes just to place their own. You can claim this is simply ignorance of game rules. Who is to blame for user (player) not interacting with an interface (game) in the intended way? Placing down a mex is just as simple as destroying an ally mex, game doesn't discourage either as evidenced by fresh new players force firing or reclaiming them while still being built.

Old experienced players of the same type will realize that they can save their precious resources by NOT making mexes or eco, instead focusing on their own ego projects. Again the game system will impact human behavior and lose, being bent into something unintended just to satisfy the exerted will. For me, it's the same winning strategy in team games. I only care for assets I don't own to a point where enemy cannot benefit from reclaiming them. Or if they are detrimental to my ownership, such as someone building high explosive buildings/units in my base.
