I think we should delay T1 instead of removing luitenent and see how that goes first.
The whole 50 fuel luitenant vs 80 fuel captain is relic from alpha when the captain had all the light vehicles. It makes absolutely no sense for one to be more expensive then the other since neither gives you access to superior units and if anything the luitenent tier is better. 65 for both would be all around more balanced.
This is a good idea.
