For the pods, it's partly the biomass usage that suggests it should come
out
of repair.  It's more important when you have fighters and missiles
flying
around.  Does the SV keep some power available to launch interceptor
pods or
try to kill the mothership?  Leaving the pods in attack pool removes any
chance fighters/missiles have of getting in a meaningful strike.  
As per FB2 rules, anyone can win with SV by simply allocating all power
to
stinger nodes and simply outshoot the enemy.  Making these minor changes
supplies a challenge to the SV player to overcome.
