You are mixing up IP and Trademarks: it's the second one that has to be enforced to be kept valid. IP are enforced at the discretion of the rights' owner.And you're mixing up "IP" and "Copyright": IP is a blanket term including (but not limited to) copyright, patent and trademark law.
There won't be any advantages at all unless you are a cruiser vs frigates.Umm, there are plenty of ships that are balanced around having shields... you really haven't thought this through, have you?
Everything else is an even playing field, where battles take less time and are much more intense.
