As you may recall, the current (360)(360) was adopted to thwart the "dasher" practice of storing up tons of turns and then sprinting from 80th place to first in the closing hours.
The $1000 tech floor was adopted at the same time in part for the same reason.

the one thing we lost with this rule change was the ability to solo kill a top ten player as retal for early set transgressions

With the new GDI entrenched, the dasher strat is dead anyway. Because if you are in 80th place, you will be hit a dozen times for the ghost acreage. Unless you play the DR defense perfectly, you will not be able to dash to the top.

Consequently, it is time to go to (450)(270) in order to allow an aggrieved party to solo kill a top ten GDI player at a single sitting.The alternative is to stay with (360)(360) but for every
special attack, allow two turns to come out of storage. With that rule, the aggrieved party can exact their revenge without reintroducing the danger of a dasher victory. This is a better, more elegant solution, however the admins have shown an aversion to complex rule changes.

As slagpit has repeatedly acknowledged, solo kills are a big part of express. We should protect the possibility of solo killing a quad-tapping GDI player who ascended to the top ten using his target's land. The recent set between superfly and eisland nein highlights the value of this rule change.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and any thoughtful responses.
