make a valid argument that doesn't include POSSIBLE nostalgia.
Possible nostalgia..?
Really are you actually trying to deny the points people are making about things working better/and actually more balanced in nc1 than now?

Resists worked, Melee, low tech pistols, rifles, heavy weapons and high tech pistols, rifles and heavy weapons were all viable options.
Even APU's were viable

Hybrids were overpowered, no ones denying that.

On topic; 1 SL per mission worked, because it was simple and reliable.
And if you have red SL it's still gonna take you a rather sizable amount of time to come close to 0 SL.

So how are any of those points just nostalgia?
