Difficulty selection system is designed to solve the problems of level-scaled difficulty, no point in taking a step backward. We cannot deny the possibility, but undoubtedly that would be one of the dumbest thing the devs can do. Yeah, well, if they're not gonna take away the difficulty selection, they can still implement ship locking across all difficulties and step up the map difficulty itself. It's high time for the devs to cull out the admiral's sense of entitlement and made them re-learn their lessons not to put all their experience to a single basket.
